Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 151 - LAND USE PERMIT REGULATIONS › Part IX - Fees and Surety › Section 24VAC30-151-720 - Surety

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Performance
				  surety. The permittee shall provide surety to guarantee the satisfactory
				  performance of the work. Surety shall be based on the estimated cost of work to
				  be performed within the right-of-way. Surety may be in the form of a check,
				  cash, irrevocable letter of credit, insurance bond, or any other VDOT-approved
				  method. Under no circumstances shall VDOT or any agency of the Commonwealth be
				  named the escrow agent, nor shall funds deposited with VDOT as surety be
				  subject to the payment of interest. The surety will be refunded or released
				  upon completion of the work and inspection by VDOT subject to the provisions of
				  § 2.2-1151.1 of the Code of Virginia. If a permit is cancelled prior to
				  the beginning of work, the surety shall be refunded or released.
Should the permittee fail to complete the work to the
					 satisfaction of the district administrator's designee, then all or whatever
					 portion of the surety that is required to complete work covered by the permit
					 or to restore the right-of-way to its original condition shall be retained by
					 VDOT.
B. Continuous surety.
				  Permittees installing, operating and maintaining facilities within the highway
				  right-of-way shall secure and maintain a continuous bond. Governmental
				  customers may use a resolution in lieu of a continuous bond. The continuous
				  surety shall be in an amount sufficient to restore the right-of-way in the
				  event of damage or failure. The surety shall remain in full force as long as
				  the work covered by the permit remains within the right-of-way. A private or
				  commercial entrance does not require a continuous surety. Any other
				  installation may require a continuous surety as determined by the district
				  administrator's designee. An applicant for a districtwide permit for utilities
				  shall provide a continuous surety in the amount of $10,000 per county. An
				  applicant for a districtwide permit for logging entrances shall provide a
				  continuous surety in the amount of $10,000 per district. There is no surety
				  requirement for districtwide permits for surveying.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Pursuant to the
				authority granted by § 33.2-401 of the Code of Virginia, the Commonwealth
				Transportation Board (CTB) may designate all or any part of any existing or new
				highway as limited access, as the term "limited access highway" is defined in
				§ 33.2-400 of the Code of Virginia, the designation of which requires the
				CTB to extinguish all easements of access, light or air. Actions regarding
				limited access control, including changes in control, require CTB approval.
				These changes typically include shifting, moving, or breaking control, or any
				combination of these, after a project is completed, finalized and serving in
				its intended capacity. The commissioner shall pay damages, if any, to owners of
				properties abutting the existing or new highway for the extinguishment of these
				rights. This chapter establishes the rules pertaining to change of limited
				access control.
B. The commissioner
				or his designee may issue additional instructions to implement this
				chapter.
Statutory Authority: § 33.2-210 of the Code of
					 Virginia.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 401 - CHANGE OF LIMITED ACCESS CONTROL › Section 24VAC30-401-20 - Policy and conditions

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				Any change in limited access that is not covered under the General Rules and
				Regulations of the Commonwealth Transportation Board (24VAC30-21) as authorized
				by the CTB or commissioner in the department's Land Use Permit Regulations
				(24VAC30-151) is considered a change of limited access control.
B. Change of limited access control will be
				considered only in limited, special situations. The CTB will not consider a
				change in limited access control without a written determination from the chief
				engineer.
C. Any proposed change in
				limited access control shall, at a minimum, meet the following conditions:
1. Requests for limited access control
				changes shall be made in writing to the district administrator in charge of the
				construction district where the requested change in limited access control is
				proposed.
2. Requests must be
				accompanied by the following:
a. A
				resolution, letter of support, or formal request, or any combination of these,
				from the locality within which the highway is located where the change in
				limited access is proposed.
b. A
				global traffic analysis prepared by the requestor, which the department will
				review and approve prior to further action.
c. An environmental analysis of the proposed
				change in limited access provided by the requestor, which the department will
				review and approve prior to further action.
3. Prior to review by the department,
				requestors shall:
a. Pay for expenses
				associated with the department's posting of a Willingness for Public Comment
				notice to allow public input to be collected concerning the request prior to
				CTB action. If the requestor is a locality making a request for change in
				limited access control for public transportation purposes, the chief engineer
				may waive the requirement to pay for the posting.
b. Post a deposit sufficient to cover the
				estimated cost associated with considering the request, including the
				department's expenses in completing the required reviews, posting, approvals,
				and any other steps involved. The amount of the deposit will be determined by
				the estimated amount of research and engineering and the cost of the appraisal
				required to process the request prior to CTB approval. If the actual cost to
				consider the request exceeds the estimated cost, the requestor shall pay the
				department the difference. This sum is in addition to any monetary compensation
				required.
4. A
				determination by the chief engineer that the change will not adversely affect
				the safety or operation of the highway.
5. If the location of the request for limited
				access control change is in an area determined to be a nonattainment area for
				air quality, the district must verify that the proposed limited access change
				has been through an air quality conformity review.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 401 - CHANGE OF LIMITED ACCESS CONTROL › Section 24VAC30-401-30 - Monetary compensation

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				Monetary compensation or other valuable consideration shall be required for any
				change in limited access control. Compensation due the department for such
				change of limited access control shall be determined by an appraisal process
				approved by the commissioner or his designee. The compensation shall be
				determined by using the before and after evaluation to determine the
				enhancement, if any, to adjoining property or properties as a result of CTB
				change of access control. This compensation determination shall be in an amount
				determined by the commissioner or his designee.
B. The costs of providing any safety or
				operational improvements necessary for the safety of the traveling public will
				be borne by the party or parties granted a change in limited access control in
				addition to the compensation determined by the appraisal process. The
				commissioner or his designee shall approve any such compensation or other
				consideration, when all reviews and preliminary approvals are completed, and
				prior to CTB consideration. The chief engineer shall approve the necessary
				safety or operational improvements.

				and surplus land assembled with adjacent properties.
Upon the approval to dispose of land, the locality in which
				  the land is located shall be notified in writing of VDOT's interest in
				  accordance with § 33.2-230 of the Code of Virginia once all previous
				  landowner obligations have been satisfied.
Statutory Authority: § 33.2-210 of the Code of

1. Transfer of property
				is included in negotiations for other land needed for right-of-way.
2. Another state agency or locality expresses
				a need for such property and is willing to acquire same for a consideration
				deemed satisfactory to the Director of Right of Way and Utilities.
