Re: SP- 2014 -0005 Regents School of Charlottesville
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the revisions to the special use permit request as submitted on April 23, 2014
and offer the following comments:
1. VDOT has no objection to the proposed special use permit request as indicated in a letter
dated 3119114.
2. VDOT will consider restriping of the hatched area on Route 250 for the purpose of
allowing a two -stage left turn movement from the existing entrance. A proposed striping
plan would need to be provided so that the Culpeper District Area Traffic Engineer can
review. It should be noted that the proposed lane would not be an acceleration lane and
the striping plan would need to reflect that condition. Vehicles should not accelerate
through the proposed lane into the left turn lane to the east of this site. If a striping plan
is provided and approved, a Land Use Permit will be required so that the applicant can
restripe the lane in accordance with VDOT standards and specifications.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
I �"_ k , , �'
