County Administrator John McCarthy said he had talked about the problem with Robert Moore, resident engineer for the highway department.
Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Moore told him there were regulations for private driveways that would take care of the problem but his department had not been strictly enforcing them.
Mr. McCarthy said the planners should recommend that the Board of Supervisors write to Mr. Moore asking for strict enforcement of entrance requirements.
With enforcement of highway department entrance requirements, builders may be required to put in tapers and will be required to put in culverts and to see that the driveway is relatively flat for the first 12 feet.
This would make it easier for a car to pull off the road before starting up the driveway and for the driver to stop before pulling out onto the highway.
“Mr. Moore needs an indication Rappahannock wants the standards enforced and is willing to take the heat for the increased cost of the driveway,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said the subdivision ordinance would also have to refer to these entrance standards.
Board of Zoning Appeals representatives to the Planning Commission made the motion that Mr. McCarthy prepare such a letter for the Board of Supervisors, and the motion passed unanimously.
