Re: SDP - 2015 -00019 Faith Christian International — Final Site Plan
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
We have reviewed the final site plan for Faith Christian International dated May 7, 2014 with
revisions dated 5/27114, 7/21/14, 8111114, 12.'3'14, and 1/14115 as submitted by Brian Smith
Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. Based on the trip generation information provided and the traffic data for Route 250, the
proposed entrance does not qualify as a moderate volume commercial entrance. The
entrance needs to be designed in accordance with the detail for a commercial entrance
along a highway with shoulders as shown in Appendix F in the Road Design Manual.
Most notably, the entrance should be offset 12' on both sides with a taper back to Route
250.
2. The tapers for the proposed entrance should be shown tying into the edge of pavement of
Route 250.
3. The proposed guardrail should not extend radially along the proposed entrance. In
addition, a GR -9 terminal section needs to be provided for the guardrail.
4. It would be helpful if the proposed 24" entrance culvert were shown in the entrance
vertical profile.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9782.
