Ekern, P.E.VirginiaDOT.org COMMISSIONER December 4` 2007 Mr. Glenn Brooks Department of Engineering and Development 401 McIntire Rd. Charlottesville, VA 22902 Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments December 6 2007 site review meeting Dear Mr. Brooks: Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the December 6` 2007 Site Review Committee Meeting: SDP - 2007 -00124 Nortonsville Church of God Facility Expansion (David Pennock) Trip generation numbers need to be included with the plan. The sight distances at both entrances needs to be evaluated and shown on the plan. The speed limit is 45 mph and the corresponding sight distance is 445 feet. The sight distance lines should be shown on the plan at both entrances in accordance with the methods shown in Appendix B of the Road Design Manual. The last traffic count on route 663 in this area is from 2003 and is 890 vehicles per day. The plan needs to show that adequate entrances and treatments are in place for these factors or will be constructed with the improvements shown on the plan. SDP - 2007 -00129 Pantops Martha Jefferson Medical Office Center- Major (Summer Frederick) The additional 1500 square feet should generate an increase of 55 vph and 6 vph in the adjacent street peak hour. The existing private road connection off route 250 has right and left turn lanes and can accommodate the small increase in use. SDP - 2007 -00130 University Tire @ Pantops Shopping Center — Major (David Pennock) The amount of trips generated by the site should be around 161 vpd or 27 in the afternoon peak hour. The shopping center has adequate access from route 250 and Riverbend Drive. 00YEARS OF TRANSPORTATION EXCELLENCE 1 9 0 6 2 0 0 6 SDP - 2007 -00134 Farrell Property/Verizon Tier II PWSF — Final (Megan Yaniglos) SDP- 2007 -00135 Fox Property/Verizon Tier II PWSF — Final (Gerald Gatobu) The applicant has been in contact with VDOT on the multiple Verizon Tower projects throughout the county. VDOT has indicated the need for adequate sight distances on all of the sites but does not feel it to be necessary to upgrade these sites to the commercial entrance standards in order to preserve the rural nature of many of the sites. In the few cases that the entrances do not meet the sight distance requirements, the applicant has indicated they plan to propose other safety measures be taken to ensure safety. The applicant is contacting VDOT on the individual sites and each site is being addressed for safety. Each site needs to indicate if commercial site distance requirements have been met or if other measures have been or are being taken to address safety. SDP - 2007 - 00137 Rivanna Plaza — Preliminary (Patrick Lawrence) ITE trip generation numbers need to be included in the plan. Without knowing the retail uses, it is estimated that the ITE code for shopping center and daycare will generate 1843 vehicles per day with 239 occurring in the peak hour of route 29 traffic. According to VDOT's Road Design Manual, this increase in use warrants a right turn lane along the frontage of route 29.
