Re: SDP - 2014 -00003 Agnor -Hurt Elementary School Major Amendment
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the major site plan amendment for Agnor -Hurt Elementary School dated
1113114 with revisions dated 3127114 and 4130114 as submitted by Timmons Group and offer the
following comments:
1. Based on the sight lines provided on the site plan, it appears that some of the vegetation
along Woodburn Road on both sides of the entrance will need to be cut back to allow for
the required sight distance.
2. Based on a conversation with the design engineer, the 35' radius on the south side of the
Woodburn Road entrance is going to be changed to a 50' radius to better accommodate
the school bus traffic that will utilize this new entrance. The entrance culvert will need to
be adjusted accordingly.
3. Subject to the above comments, VDOT has no objection to the proposed site plan.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Troy Austin, P.E.
Area Land Use Engineer
