(VDOT) Subject: RE: Timberwood Fa_r_m Rebecca, We have reviewed the application for a produce stand and the entrance for the existing Tim bercreek Farm Road entrance to Garth Road in accordance with the VDOT standards for a commercial entrance _-and have the following comments: 1. The existing entrance meets the minimum sight distance requirements in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F. 2. The existing entrance meets the minimum geometrical and surface requirements in the VDOT Road Design Manual. 3. The gate at the entrance to Garth Road should remain open at all times of operation of the produce stand. 4. 1 have reviewed the e -mails of complaints of excessive speed on Garth Road and also have reviewed the Albemarle County Police responses to these complaints. The police records indicate that there are not excessive speeding problems that they have observed on Garth Road in this area and the crash rates are not high for the amount of traffic. If speeding continues to be a concern for the adjacent residents, requests for speed studies and reductions of speed limits should be made to VDOT from the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
