Charlottesville,VA 22902 Subject: Proposed Stonefield Development Internal Roads Dear Mr. Graham; This is a follow-up to the meeting held on August 31, 2011 with Dennis Rooker, Edens & Avant, and Mr. Jim Utterback. It is my understanding that all parties agreed that the roads within the proposed Stonefield Development, including Stonefield Boulevard, will be constructed as privately maintained roads. It was determined by VDOT that the internal roads to the development will not serve traffic other than that internal to the development and the addition of Stonefield Boulevard to the state system of highways is not justified for expenditures of public funding for maintenance. This letter serves as documentation that Stonefield Boulevard will not be accepted by VDOT into the state system of highways and VDOT will only be reviewing and permitting the entrances to the development along with the proposed improvements to Route 29 and Hydraulic Road. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerel i. ......fa l Brent Sprinkel, P.E. Assistant District Administrator Culpeper District Cc. Thomas S. Gallagher, Esq.

Marshall Subject: RE: Stonefield Boulevard Road Plan VDOT Review Thanks Joel, While you never actually said that we should consider this VDOT's approval of the road plan, I am taking your statement that it meets VDOT standards to mean this. If that assumption is wrong, please let me know. Mark From: DeNunzio, Joel D., P.E.

Marshall Subject: Stonefield Boulevard Road Plan VDOT Review Stonefield Boulevard Road Plan VDOT Review Mr. Graham, In accordance with the Virginia Administrative Code 24 VAC30-92-20, Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements, VDOT has reviewed the subject plan at the request of Albemarle County for streets that are proposed for maintenance by an entity other than VDOT. In this review we have found that the streets meet the minimum requirements set forth by the VDOT Road Design Manual and the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications with the exception of the proposed four way stop at the intersection of Stonefield Boulevard and Main Street and the installation of the waterline within the proposed public road pavement. Four way stop type of traffic control requires a warrant analysis as described in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control which should be submitted and approved prior to its installation. The installation of utilities within the proposed public road right of way should be located outside of the pavement and within the outer 3 to 5 feet of the right of way. This review does not represent VDOT's commitment to accept the proposed street into the State Secondary System of Highways as stated in 24 VAC30-92-20 section A but is provided to assist Albemarle County with general guidance in the review process. Please let me know if you have any questions. 1 Philip Custer From: Mark Graham Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 10:39 AM To: Bill Fritz; Glenn Brooks; Philip Custer Subject: FW: Stonefield Boulevard Road Plan VDOT Review Phil, I assume we should treat this as the road plan approval by VDOT.
