Re: SP -2015 -00007 All Saints Chapel
Dear Mr. Perez,
We have reviewed the All Saints Chapel Special Use Permit, prepared by Marcia Joseph, with a
plan date of January 21, 2015. The following items will need to be addressed in the final site
plan.
1. The proposed entrance will need to meet the minimum design requirements for a
Moderate Volume Commercial Entrance. See appendix F of the VDOT Road Design
Manual. I.e.: minimum entrance /exit radius is 25' rather than 15' as shown.
2. Adequate intersection sight distance will need to be verified.
3. Drainage shall be considered in the design of the entrance grades and along the right of
way at the entrance. The maximum grade for a commercial entrance is 8 %.
4. VDOT would like the owner to contribute 25'of road frontage to be dedicated as right of
way.
5. A maintenance of traffic plan will be required.
If you need further information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me
at (434) 422 -9894.
Sincerely,
SAM M I = �
