RE: SUB- 2013 -28 Lochlyn Hill — Preliminary Sub Plat
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the subject project and offer the following comments:
1. Per previous VDOT comment dated March 22, 2013, a 1978 Resolution for the Rio Heights
subdivision shows a 50 ft rlw on Pen Park Lane up to 0.08 miles (447 ft) south easterly of the
intersection with Rio Road. The plat indicates the rlw is 48' Var. ROW. The documentation
needs to be provided showing the correct right of way width.
2. The existing right of way on the south side of Pen Park Lane does not appear to line up with the
proposed right of way for Pen Park Lane. This needs to be corrected.
3. The right of way on the north side of Pen Park Lane needs to be defined and shown where Pen
Park is being realigned.
4. The CG -12 shown at the end of the side walk along Pen Park needs to be located near the
midpoint of the radius of the intersection of Pen Park and Woodmont Drive.
5. It was our understanding the side walk would be extended on the south side of Pen Park Lane all
the way to Rio Road. This has not been reflected in this plan.
6. Is on- street parking proposed on both sides of Pen Park Lane? The minimum width face of curb
to face of curb for VDOT standards is 29' for on- street parking on both sides at this location.
7. The sight distance lines should be shown from a point that is located 14.5' off the edge of the
travel way. The sight line shown at the intersection of Pen Park Lane and Lochlyn Hill Drive
appears to be right on the edge of the travel way.
If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
