Re: SUB -2016-00097 Dunlora Overlook -- PreIiminary Plat
SDP -2016-00028 Dunlora Overlook — Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat and initial site plan for Dunlora Overlook, dated May 9,
2016, as submitted by Collins Engineering, and offer the following comments.
1. Please show correct intersection sight distance lines for the Dunlora DriveNarick Street
intersection. The speed limit on Dunlora Drive is 35 mph, therefore requires 390 sight
distance lines.
2. The CG -12's at the intersection with Dunlora Drive should be perpendicular to the
Varick Street. They can be in the radii, but should be directed across Varick Street, not
towards Dunlora Drive.
3. Please provide more detail/ additional survey along Dunlora Drive; need to show existing
sidewalk/curb & gutter tying into the proposed sidewalk\ CG -6. Additionally please
show more detail regarding storm drainage at the entrance.
4. VDOT would like to shift the entrance to Dunlora Drive off Rio Road further from the
Rio/John Warner Pkwy intersection, and would like to discuss incorporating this into this
plan.
5. Is the intention for Lots 30 & 31 to construct entrances onto route 631 Rio Road? If so
please provide more detail, e.g. entrance design, sight distance.
6. Please add Road name, route number, speed Iimit and right of way width to all public
roads shown in the plans.
7. Please add the VDOT standard WP -2 to plans and show the required mill and overlay on
Dunlora Dr.
8. Please add right and left turn lane warrant analysis to the plans.
9. Please add a sight distance profile to the plans.
