Evan,
A VDOT review has been conducted on the Crossroads Grocery Conditional Use Permit Application
dated June 13, 2016. The following comments are a revision to the previous comments sent on July
13:
1) We are recommending closure of the existing Rte. 654 full access entrance, as it does not
meet current VDOT Access Management spacing requirements from the Rte. 522 signalized
intersection. At a minimum, VDOT is looking to eliminate left turn movements into the site from
Rte. 654. A right -out only may be supported to allow circulation on site of the fuel delivery
trucks. Auto Turn exhibits at the time of Site Plan submission will need to verify turning
movements.
2) All proposed entrance locations shall meet sight distance requirements at Site Plan
submission. Any proposed entrance locations that does not meet Access Management
Spacing requirements will require an Access Management Exception for consideration. As
such, we recommend the CUP state that all proposed entrance locations be considered
conceptual until the above mentioned conditions can be validated.
3) Currently Rte. 522 has an ADT of 21,000 with 12% trucks at this intersection. Will the diesel
pumps be accommodating or prohibitive to tractor trailers?
4) Please provide an additional exhibit with the application that identifies truck auto turn
movements in and out of the site. There are truck ingress and egress concerns associated
with the existing condition of Rte. 654, particularly with trucks potentially accessing the site
from southbound Rte. 522 and then exiting the site with a right turn on Rte. 654. The site
layout and potential entrance locations need to adequately accommodate truck turning
movements.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Evan,
A VDOT review has been conducted on the Crossroads Grocery Conditional Use Permit Application
dated June 13, 2016. We offer the following comments:
1) We are recommending closure of the existing Rte. 654 full access entrance, as it does not
meet current VDOT Access Management spacing requirements from the Rte. 522 signalized
intersection.
2) We recommend a condition in the application that states all entrances and associated turn
arrows are conceptual and will be designed to meet spacing and sight distance requirements
for review at final site plan.
3) Currently Rte. 522 has an ADT of 21,000 with 12% trucks at this intersection. Will the diesel
pumps be accommodating or prohibitive to tractor trailers?
4) Please provide an additional exhibit with the application that identifies truck auto turn
movements in and out of the site. There are truck ingress and egress concerns associated
with the existing condition of Rte. 654, particularly with trucks potentially accessing the site
from southbound Rte. 522 and then exiting the site with a right turn on Rte. 654. The site

Mark;
Here are some quick thoughts on crossroads grocery.
1. Entrance on S22 should probably just be right out, however , if it does end up as right in right out the right turn
lane that is proposed needs to fully meet the VDOT standard. The language referring to use of existing
pavement made me wonder if the pavement is there to adequately address the standard. If it does, then great,
but if not improvements would need to be made.
2. The new proposed entrance should be the only entrance on Cedar Grove Road (Rt. 654). Also, for the new
entrance please provide site distance.
