Re: CPA -2014-00002 — Colonial Auto Center Expansion
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
We have reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application for the Colonial
Auto Center Expansion dated 9:'2.14 and offer the following comments:
1. We have no objection to the proposed comprehensive plan amendment.
2. The conceptual plan indicates that the proposed connection to Berkmar Drive will be at
or near the existing entrance onto Berkmar Drive. To improve sight distance of the
entrance and spacing from Rio Road, the entrance should be relocated to the north of the
site, closer to the crest of Berkmar Drive in this area. This item can be addressed during
the site plan process.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422-9782.
Sinc%erely,
