Re: SDP -2015 -00023 & SUB- 2015 -00077 Timberwood Square
Dear Ms. Ray and Mr. Anderson:
We have reviewed the Final Site Development/Road Plan for Timberwood Square dated
November 30, 2015 as submitted by Dominion Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. Timberwood Blvd. is transitioning from a four -lane to a two lane section. Due to the
anticipated trips and the location of the existing entrance in the transitional area our North
West Regional Operations (NWRO) section recommends installing a left turn lane in
order to avoid conflicts and/or thru - traffic delays.
2. Sheet SP 15:
a. Four -lane highway warrants should be used to determine left storage lane/right
turn treatment.
b. Based on the proposed uses, and the ITE Manual, we feel that the peak left turn
volumes are greater than 5 %. The anticipated left turn volumes should be
provided in the next submittal.
If you need further information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422 -9894.
Sincerely,
Shelly A. Plaster
Land Development Engineer
