Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the March 21s`, 2013 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2013 -00008 New Hope Community Church (Phase I)- Initial Site Plan (Megan Yaniglos)
1. The posted speed for Route 606 in this section is 35 mph. The necessary sight distance for 35
mph is 390 feet in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendix F -35. Please
include a vertical profile of the sight line and existing ground.
2. Final site plan will need to include the entrance profile in accordance with the CG -11 standard.
3. A Land Use Permit will be required for construction within the Route 606 right of way.
SDP - 2013 -00009 Seminole Trail Fire Station —Major Amendment (Ellie Ray)
1. Show sight distances for proposed entrances in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendix F.
2. Entrance profiles in accordance with the VDOT Standard CG -11 need to be shown for both
entrances.
SDP - 2013 -00011 Old Trail Village Block 2B — Major Site Plan Amendment (Johnathan Newberry)
1. The minimum effective entrance radii are 25 feet. This plan shows a radius of 15 feet at the
entrance and does not appear to properly tie into the drainage structure. The drainage structure
needs to be relocated and the radius increased.
2. Show the entrance profile in accordance with the VDOT CG -11 Standard.
