Judy,
have reviewed the letter and the design exception for this site and determined that the previous
exception for the turn lane still stands since there is not a proposed increase in the traffic for this
site. No improvements to the entrance will be necessary for the addition of parking on the site.
Thanks
Joel

Joel,
Per our conversation, here is the letter from the Unity Church requesting that VDOT maintain its
prior position in respect to the Curch's entrance. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me by reply email or on the phone at 979 -8121. 1 am copying Judy Wiegand with the
County in this email. If you wish to note VDOT acceptance of the current entrance configuration.
Thank you,
Neal

RE: Unity Church SP
DATE: July 14, 2010
Dear Joel:
This letter is to confirm that in 2003, VDOT commented that a 100' turn lane and a 150'
taper lane was required for the entrance of our church. The that time, however, Unity
Church submitted a request for a design exception which was processed by VDOT and
Approved.
We also want to inform you that Unity Church has no current plans to increase the overall
square footage of our building or the seating capacity of our sanctuary which is in
alignment with this special use permit request.
Finally, considering the above, Unity Church requests that VDOT honor the 2003 design
exception. and modify their comments on the current special use permit application to
state that the current design of a 50' entrance radius and 48' taper is adequate.
Thank you very much for your consideration and approval.
Sincerely,
Rev. Donald Lansky
