Re: SP- 2014 -00005 Regents School of Charlottesville
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the special use permit application for the Regents School of Charlottesville as
submitted on 2118114 and offer the following comments:
1. The Threshold Analysis for the entrance indicates that the increase in enrollment will not
impact the intersection of Broomley Road and Route 250 or the flow of traffic on Route
250.
2. The analysis indicates that under current enrollment, traffic leaving the site during the
AM peak is delayed for 252.2 seconds. To maintain a maximum delay of 500 seconds,
the analysis indicates that an enrollment of 115 students can be accommodated. The
request is to increase enrollment to 150 students, which according to the analysis will
result in a 801.0 second delay. Generally, these delays are internal and will not impact
traffic on Route 250. The County and the applicant will need to determine an acceptable
delay for traffic leaving the site.
3. I would recommend instituting the drop -off route proposed by the applicant, i.e., driving
around the dinner theater and queuing internally into the site.
Generally, VDOT has no objection to the application as submitted. If you need additional
information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
l
