Re: SDP-2016-00021 Chapman Grove Baptist Church — Major Site Plan Amendment
SP-2016-00007 Chapman Grove Baptist Church — Special Use Permit
Dear Mr. Newberry:
We have reviewed the Chapman Grove Baptist Church Major Site Plan Amendment and Special
Use Permit applications, dated March 1, 2016, as submitted by Stoneking Von Storch Architects,
and have the following comment;
The Virginia Access Management Regulations (24VAC30-73-110) states that
commercial entrances may be reviewed and reconstruction, relocations, consolidation,
upgrading, or a combination of these may be required if any of the following occur; 1)
the property is being considered for rezoning or other local legislative action that
involves a change in use, 2) if the property is subject to a site plan or subdivision plat
reviw, 3) there is a change (increase) in commercial use, or 4) circulation between
adjoining properties becomes available.
It appears that there may not be adequate sight distance at this entrance. Please show
sight distance lines (Road Design Manual, Appendix F) and provided sight line
easements if necessary.
If additional information is needed concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434) 422-9373.
Sincere
Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
