Whlrley Commissioner of Highways January 6, 2014 Mr. Christopher Perez Senior Planner County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Re: SDP - 2013 -064 Church of Our Savior — Final Site Plan Dear Mr. Perez: We have reviewed the final site plan for the Church of Our Savior New Annex Building dated 11/22/13 as submitted by Waterstreetstudio and offer the following comments: 1. The sight lines, dimensions of the entrance, and distance to Rio Road should be provided for the existing entrance onto Huntington Road so that adequacy of the existing entrance can be verified based on the proposed intensification of the entrance. 2. The intention is that the existing entrance onto Huntington Road be used for access to this site. As such, there needs to be a physical disconnect between the gravel parking area and the lane to Rio Road. I would suggest some form of landscaping along the property line and /or parking area. 3. The site trip generation should be provided including the proposed improvements. If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
