Review #1
Dear Mr. Padalino:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 16
July 2018, and offers the following comments:
I. Show route number, street name, ADT, ROW width, design and posted speeds, and
public/private on plans for each street, existing and proposed. Are the proposed streets
intended to be public or private? Based on the proposed layout, this review assumes that
proposed streets are to be private.
2. This plan appears to include improvements (left turn lane) to Route 631, yet no details are
provided. Provide both left and right turn lane warrant analysis.
3. Provide intersection sight distance lines and profiles.
4. Provide spacing to the nearest intersections and entrances along Route 631.
5. Detailed drainage information is required. How will runoff from the proposed
development on to Route 631 be mitigated?
6. Note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendices B(l) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or
other requirements.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process. If further information is
desired please contact Justin Deel at (434) 422-9894.
