The only practical mitigation, due to the .arcel's limited frontage, would be a shared entrance with the neighboring parcel. We derstand this option was explored and was denied by the neighboring parcel's owner. Further, the proposed entrance is not out of character from existing entrances in the vicinity on Commonwealth Drive. Therefore, the Department has approved AM-E request. cv,Please include this approval letter on the final site plan. If you have any questions you may r contact me at (434)422-9782.

Evidently,the County did receive a revised plan set on 6-6-17 that is dated 5-26-17; however,the comment response/cover sheet on top of the stack was addressed to Engineering.That combined with a bunch of new folks working the front desk and the revised plans were distributed to engineering instead of me for distribution. Glad we got on top of this now otherwise it might not have been caught until Engineering started their review of the revisions. VDOT/Justin Deel-are we good,can you conduct your review now? ACSA/Alex Morrison-you emailed and said you have the plan set. -'c Pet-e (115-17 Engineering/David James-I'll distribute you one copy of this set. Planning/me—I now have the plan set. -- (�PO O) I hope to have everyone's comments by June 2J0th. Let me know if you have any questions.

Notably, I do not have a copy of the 5-26-17 plan set for review, it was not distributed to me, nor did I distribute such a plan set to VDOT or any other reviewer. Upon his phone call I began looking through my emails to see if anything has come from you,as the last round of comments went out on this 5-24-17.That's when I discovered the email below sent 6-6-17. Please advise on the above situation? thanks 1 4100 Original Message From:Justin Shimp, P.E.

I've sent this around separately already and received an email confirmation that everything looks good from Alex,Justin and David.Adam's blessing(and thus VDOT's) is still waiting on a traffic study which Adam just left me some instructions on today. I will do my best to get that out tomorrow. I realize that the plan probably has to get from Chris to the other reviewers before we get an official sign off but we are under a bit of a time crunch and and anything that can be done to assist Chris P. in getting the file closed out would be much appreciated. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist in that process. Thanks! Justin Shimp, P.E. 434-953-6116 2
