However, it appears that the shape and size of the parcel, combined with the location of the interior road as illustrated, could make it difficult for the applicant to meet the Entrance Corridor guideline that requires buildings to be aligned parallel with the EC street. Meeting this guideline will be a requirement, as will the need for all walls of buildings visible from the ECs to be fully designed elevations. Division: Date Completed:03/10/2013 Reviewer:Robbie Gilmer Fire Rescue Review Status:No Objection Reviews Comments:Based on ZMA dated 2/19/13 No Comments or objections Division: Date Completed:03/28/2013 Reviewer:Glenn Brooks Engineering Review Status:Pending Reviews Comments:A traffic study has been provided for the Riverside development proposed across Rt. 20. This study shows significant failures at the 250/20 intersection. Increasing the intensity of development in this area is not recommended until the transportation issues are addressed. At the least, lane improvements are needed on Rt. 20, as this is in the merge area, which could be a safety problem. Without a more specific plan, no more comments could be provided.

Studies in this area show significant failures at the 250/20 intersection. Increasing the intensity of development in this area is not recommended until the transportation issues are addressed. A median on Rt. 250 past this proposed entrance has been discussed, as well as lane and median improvements on Rt. 20. Without a more specific plan, no more comments could be provided.

It contains a comparison of ITE trip generation rates. This is essentially an argument for allowing development in small increments. The percentages provided are based on an unknown total from the 250/20 intersection. I am unable to draw any conclusions.

Division: Date Completed:11/12/2013 Reviewer:Glenn Brooks Engineering Review Status:Pending Division: Page:2of3 County of AlbemarlePrinted On:February 03, 2016 Reviews Comments:The 2 proposed proffers have been reviewed: Proffer 1: As a public or private road, the standards do not allow for a series of right-angles without intersections. Flexibility should be provided for other traffic calming measures if necessary. I understand the intent is to prevent cut-through traffic. Proffer 2: The "connection" should be clarified as both Rt. 20 and Rt. 250, with frontage improvements as required by VDOT on those public roads.
