Mr. & Ms. Teets,
We have reviewed the Conditional Use Permit Application received June 24, 2016 for impacts to the
transportation system. The application is for GT Archery LLC to operate a cottage occupation selling
archery supplies, located at 3641 Green Spring Rd, Winchester Va. (Rte. 671) Route 671 is an un-
posted 55 MPH local roadway with 1100 vehicle trips per day. A VDOT speed analysis was
performed at the proposed location. The results of this analysis show the 85th percentile operating
speed in both directions is 48 MPH. Based on our field review, only stopping sight distance has been
met to the west of the existing entrance, therefore we can only permit a Low Volume Commercial
Entrance allowing a maximum of 50 vehicle trips per day (25 entering, 25 exiting). As a condition of
this CUP, this office request the county limit the number of trips to and from this business to a
maximum of 50 per day.
We would like to note that the existing private entrance meets the minimum design dimensions for a
Low Volume Commercial Entrance. Therefore, no entrance improvements will be needed.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on this Conditional Use Permit Application. If
you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to give me a call at (540)
984-5630.
Thank You,
