Tyler,
We have completed our review of the Redbud Solar Glare Study. Based on the information provided
by Pennoni, it is understood there will be no negative glare impacts to the users of the roadways.
We are satisfied with the findings of this report and have no objections to the study. The only
outstanding item to address is the previous comment which follows:
The CUP and supplement identifies multiple entrance locations to serve the facility. Some for
construction and some to be permanent. The supplement provided details on the sight
distance for the proposed locations. You have identified an existing private entrance as
“Alternative 1.” The sight distance profile and your supplement clearly show this entrance not
meeting minimum sight distance requirements for safe access. In accordance with VDOT
Access Management Regulations (24VAC30-73) VDOT will not permit a commercial entrance
without meeting minimum sight distance requirements. This entrance needs to be removed
from the proposal. There are other locations proposed that meet minimum sight distance
requirements and provide safe ingress/ egress for those coming to the facility as well as the
motorist traveling on the roadway.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Timothy Rhodes
