RTE INSTALL TRAFFIC SIGNAL (HES PROJECT)

Transcription

1 RTE INSTALL TRAFFIC SIGNAL (HES PROJECT) PURPOSE & NEED: REDUCE ANGULAR ACCIDENTS & INJURIES INTERSECTION RTE. 849, KOGER CENTER BOULEVARD, & RTE. 819, MALL DRIVE. PROJECT CURRENTLY INVOLVES 3 PARCELS. PROPERTY N. OF INTERSECTION BEING DEVELOPED. VDOT CHESTERFIELD RESIDENCY LAND DEVELOPMENT SECTION IS AWAITING OFFICIAL SUBMISSION OF DEVELOPER S PLANS.

2 THERE ARE NO BRIDGES, BOX CULVERTS, OR RAILROADS INVOLVED. ALL ROADS SHOULD BE KEPT OPEN DURING CONSTRUCTION. WATER & GAS LINES ARE LOCATED NEAR THIS INTERSECTION. WATER AS-BUILTS RECEIVED. POWER IS LOCATED NEAR THE SIGNAL TO THE WEST. CURRENT PLAN IS TO HAVE DOMINION VA POWER BORE UNDER ROUTE 849 & BRING SERVICE TO THE SW QUADRANT OF THE INTERSECTION.

3 PROJECT IS NOT ON COUNTY BIKE PLAN. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION: URBAN LOCAL POSTED SPEED 35 MPH; DESIGN SPEED 40 MPH AADTS: 6300 WEST OF INTERSECTION ON RTE EAST OF INTERSECTION ON RTE SOUTH OF INTERSECTION ON RTE. 819 AADTS EXPECTED TO JUMP WHEN MALL DRIVE IS OPENED TO TRAFFIC FROM RTE. 905, OLD FARM RD., WHICH GOES THROUGH TO RTE. 675, ROBIOUS RD.

4 ORIGINAL BENEFIT/COST RATIO 3.17 BASED ON A TOTAL APPLICATION ESTIMATE OF $171,000. ADVERTISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, POSSIBLY IN PROJECT MAY BE DONE BY REGIONAL CONTRACTOR, WHICH WOULD SAVE TIME AND MONEY.

17 INSUFFICIENT RIGHT OF WAY EXISTS FOR SIGNALIZATION. A PERMANENT SIGNAL EASEMENT COULD BE DEDICATED TO THE COUNTY, TO AVOID THE COST OF FEE RIGHT OF WAY. MATTHEW COLVIN, SURVEY

18 This is expensive commercial property. Even though you would not be acquiring much in fee, you must consider that the R/W estimate reflects not just the cost of the land, but also reflects the various administrative costs necessary for acquisition. We would need approved right of way plans suitable for public display, negotiations, and recordation. If there is any way that the Residency can deal with the landowners to secure a donation of the needed right of way, we recommend that this be the first option explored. CHRIS BURKE, R/W

19 ANY RIGHT OF WAY ACQUIRED WILL REQUIRE THE FULL SERP PROCESS. THIS IS USUALLY ABOUT 90 DAYS. IF ALL THE WORK COULD BE PERFORMED WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY, THEN THE AMOUNT OF REVIEW TIME COULD BE REDUCED TO 30 DAYS. JENNIFER SALYERS, ENV

20 The county is obtaining from the 3 property owners a Permanent Traffic Signal Easement instead of purchasing R/W to minimize cost. Traffic Engineering met with a Dominion Power field representative, & the cost for electrical service is approx. $5,200. This consists of the power coming from the closest point, which is the existing signal at the Lowe's entrance, boring under Koger Pkwy., and trenching along the south side of Koger Pkwy. up to the new signal location in the southwest corner (shopping center). I assume that, once we hear back from the county regarding any easements obtained or the need to purchase R/W, an updated estimate could be performed. For estimate purposes, the signal installation will cost approx. $145,000, with an additional PE cost of approx. $5,000. WAYNE HOLT, TE

21 I understand your hesitancy in locating the poles on the north side prior to having an approved site plan which incorporates Mall Drive extended. Jesse Smith will need to know exactly what you all need for the signal so that it can be reflected on the site plan and recorded. Please let me know if this schedule will not work for VDOT. For the southeast quadrant, I believe we will need from VDOT a plat of the required easement for recordation (and to show the developer when requesting the donation). Please forward the official signal easements and plat when available. BARB SMITH, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY

22 Southeast and southwest quadrants - We discussed providing plats showing the necessary easement areas with our R/W & Survey Sections, and they can accommodate this, however, they did have a good suggestion. Before we begin to gather the required information (Metes and Bounds) & draw up a plat using project funds, maybe our preliminary sketch of the easement area for both of these quadrants could be shared with the property owners to get their verbal concurrence & then proceed with the plat work. Proposed N. leg of intersection - Again, hopefully our preliminary drawing could be discussed with the property owner and then shown on their site plan. If additional information was required, at least we would know that they are in agreement with our proposal. WAYNE HOLT, TE

23 Dedication is not necessarily a fast fix to this problem. If the property owner dedicates land to the Commonwealth, Right of Way will not accept that dedication unless we have proof by title examination that the property owner has clear title. If there are deeds of trust or encumbrances on the property, partial releases must be obtained for the area being dedicated before the deed is executed. We only accept fee simple title. Also, there must be environmental clearance for the area being dedicated. If you already have environmental clearance on this small project, then that will suffice. Also, the deed of dedication must be approved by the AG s office. So it isn t necessarily a fast fix. If we go with an easement, we are obtaining a right to use the property for a specific purpose. The process is much simpler since we are not acquiring land in fee. ROSEMARY JONES, R/W

24 ALL THREE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE NOW AGREED TO DONATE THE NECESSARY EASEMENTS. I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL CAN PREPARE THE EASEMENTS AND PLATS. BE SURE TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE IN THE EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE TOWNE CENTER, AS REQUESTED. ONCE YOU SEND ME THE PLATS AND AGREEMENTS, I CAN ROUTE THEM TO THE APPROPRIATE PARTIES FOR EXECUTION.
