As a condition of the rezoning of the property, the land owners have been requested to construct 3ubal Early Drive, a designated major collector highway, across the property and connect This highway with an interchange on Route 37. The above mentioned interchange is the Topic of this letter. We, along with our development partner, Greystone Properties LLC requests that VDOT accept this application for a Break in Access that will allow the construction of the interchange and the necessary four ramps to serve the southbound and northbound traffic. Dubai Eazly Drive -and the interchange have been endorsed by the Fredenck County Board of Supervisors, anti the Common Council of the City of Winchester. This mayor collector and interchange has been predominately displayed on the 1998 Winchester Area Transportation Study (WAYS} and the 2005 Winchester - Frederick Metropolitan Planning Organization 2030 Transportation Plan (MPO). Much work nos been accomplished through the cooperation and guidance of the Edinburg and Staunton VDOT offices to supply the Commonwealth Transportation Board with the analysis necessary to conclude that the new interchange is essential for the east -west traffic flow through the City. We ask for the support of your office to expedite ibis request and for your personal encouragement to the CTB to grant the Break in Access at the next Board Meeting. John T.
