ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
A road or street plan is an engineered construction plan for a public or private road or alley. It also
contains necessary infrastructure for the road, like drainage inlets, pipes, ditches, culverts, residential
and commercial entrances, slopes, retaining walls, signs, pavement markings and any other items
necessary for the road.
A road plan must be a stand-alone document, and titled as a road plan. A road plan is not a site
plan, or a stormwater plan, or an erosion control plan. Please do not attach any other plans to the road
plan. The exception is when the Albemarle County Service Authority has insisted in some cases that
utility plans (water and sewer) be part of the road plans, and this has been permitted.
A road plan must contain a title sheet specifically for the road plan, a plan view of the road, a profile of
the road, and specific and typical details for the road sections. Please also reference the Design Manual
in addition to this checklist.
Application information:
❑ Completed application and fees. No review is provided without applications and fees. Plans
containing both public and private roads should pay the higher fee for private roads.
❑ Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps, VDEQ,
etc) [18-32.1.2, 14-311]
Title information:
IZ Project title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be a road or street plan, not a site plan,
subdivision plan, or erosion control plan, etc.
Professional seal, with original signature and date. [18-32.6.1]
Z Content: The road plan must contain, for each road/street/alley, at a minimum
1. a plan view, customarily at 1"=50' or better.
2. a profile view
3. a typical cross-section
Plan View: [18-32.6.2, 14-304, Subdivision Ordinance Article IV Division 2, VDOT SSAR]
Z Accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site features, and
any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale.
Z Date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually field
verified by the designer within the last year'Aerial topography is often noticeably inaccurate.
Disturbances sometimes take place subsequent to the flown date. This can be a particularly recurring
problem where early or mass grading plans have occurred previously. In these cases, the topography
needs to be updated.)
• WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reservoirs, or floodplain limit if
greater [17-600]
• Floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of 50+ acres [18
-32.6.2d, 18-30.3]
• All existing easements (access, drainage, sight, sanitary easements, etc.) with deed book references,
locations and dimensions.

Manual reference details)
▪ Roundabouts designed per VDOT and ASHTO guidelines
✓ Guardrail over any slope steeper than 3:1, wall, or drop-off greater than 4', with start and end
sections labeled, and VDOT designations (GR-2, GR-2a, etc.) (see the VDOT Road Design Manual.
Guardrail placement is complicated and subject to a lot of judgement and variation. This is a quick rule
-of-thumb summary.)
✓ Pavement markings dimensioned and labeled
✓ Signs for traffic control shown and labeled: speed limit on all streets, stop signs at all intersections
✓ Street name signs at every intersection, typically placed opposite stop signs [should reference
County Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance and Manual]
✓ Street tree locations, species and height or caliper (typically to be reviewed by Planning)
Grading:
Z Proposed topography at minimum 2' contour intervals—tied into existing contours, as well as all
proposed site features. (Sites with less than 6' of grade change should consider using smaller contour
intervals.)
• Proposed slopes are all 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter {Design Manual, section 8}
✓ Proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover specified on the
plan {Design Manual, Section 81
VI Show existing critical (steep) slopes on plans (See County GIS, Steep Slope Overlay). Existing
critical slopes are not disturbed, unless a waiver or exemption has been granted for the disturbance.
✓ Retaining walls should be accurately shown on plans, reflecting material thickness and batter where
such measurements may affect layout.
Retaining Wall Plans checklist.
WI Any walls supporting roads or necessary infrastructure require engineered plans (not generic
manufacturer's details) and computations. {Design Manual, section 81 This will also be required where
walls are close to property lines and there is the danger of affecting neighboring property, either during
construction, with later failures, or with pedestrian or vehicle safety. These concerns can be alleviate
with layout spacing also. In any case, retaining walls will require building permits at construction.
Required Easements: [Zoning Ordinance 18-32.7.4, Subdivision Ordinance, Article IV, Div. 4]
IV All proposed permanent easements, dimensioned and labeled
Examples of easements are:
• sidewalk easements for sidewalks to be maintained with streets outside right-of-way. It is
preferable that sidewalk be inside street right-of-way.
• drainage easements for any drainage passing through the site from off-site, or for drainage
crossing proposed property lines.
• stormwater management easements over all facilities and associated structures and access
• interparcel access easements
• intersection or entrance sight easements
Page COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
All drainage easements are a minimum 20' wide. Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or channel width)
+2'+2(depth-5'). The pipe, channel or structure must be within the center third of the
easement. {Design Manual, section 6}
DI No structures or trees within drainage easements {Design Manual, section 6}
DI Label drainage easements beyond public rights-of-way as `Private'. A deed of easement for the
maintenance of these will be required for approval.
Entrances and right-of-way improvements: [per VDOT Secondary Street Acceptance
Requirements (SSAR), and VDOT Road and Bridge Standards]
✓ Only approved entrances are shown. Placing entrances on road plans should not be a way of
circumventing site plan review of entrance placement or number, or adequate review of traffic, spacing,
turn lanes, etc.
DI All entrances have a VDOT designation [PE-1, CG-9a, etc). In the case of dense residential
development, concrete entrance aprons are important to continue drainage on the street side, and to
control fine grading of asphalt and sidewalks.
▪ Commercial entrances do not exceed 4% grade for a distance of 40' from the intersected street,
measured anywhere in the entrance [18-4.12.17]
WI Unobstructed sight distance lines at entrances, more than 10' x speed limit, plus next 5mph
increment. For example: sight distance for 25mph design speed limit= 10' x 25 + 30 =280'. See
VDOT Road Design Manual, App B1, Sec. 3E
DI 25' minimum radii on entrances (or per VDOT requirements, typically 25'-35') [per VDOT Access
Management Regulations and Standards]
Di Turn and taper lanes where applicable with lengths and widths labeled (taper at 12:1 with 12' lane
widths)
Profile View: (applicable only to road or street plans)
DI Stationing at 50' minimum on all proposed streets, to match the plan view sheets
• Proposed centerline
✓ Existing ground centerline (Historically, the existing centerline was field surveyed, but this is
happening much less with current aerial topography. This may be requested if inaccuracies are noted.)
▪ Labeled existing and proposed grade at each 50ft station point
WI Vertical curves provided at all grade transitions
WI Vertical curve start, vertex and end points labeled
Di Vertical curve length and K(or stopping sight distance) labeled at each vertex, meeting required
design values
IV Percent grades labeled for all road segments, meeting design values (VDOT Road Design Manual,
App. B)
D] Rural street intersections continue the -2% intersected cross grade for a minimum of 20' from the
edge of pavement of the intersected street. A low point is provided off the intersected street for
drainage. {policy, following VDOT practice}
DI Street grade is less than 4% for a minimum of 40' from the edge of pavement of the intersected
street. (This grade can be within the first road curve which transitions from the 2% intersected cross
grade) {policy, follows ord. for travelways 18-4.12}

7 Sidewalk detail or specification to be a minimum 4" stone base and 4" concrete of 3000psi at 28
days, or stronger. [VDOT App. B, Subdivision Street Design Guide, and 14-422]
• Retaining wall details referenced from plan, if detailed plans and comps were not required. This is
only really applicable to standard VDOT gravity walls. Walls not affecting the road should not appear
on road plans.
• Rural section ditches may not be deep enough for 15" diameter culverts within the ditchline if the
ditches are only 1' deep. This usually involves moving the ditchline away from the road at driveway
locations, which may not be possible in denser development. Ditch and driveway culvert plans will
need to accommodate these situations.

ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
A road or street plan is an engineered construction plan for a public or private road or alley. It also
contains necessary infrastructure for the road, like drainage inlets,pipes, ditches, culverts, residential
and commercial entrances, slopes, retaining walls, signs, pavement markings and any other items
necessary for the road.
A road plan must be a stand-alone document, and titled as a road plan. A road plan is not a site
plan, or a stormwater plan, or an erosion control plan. Please do not attach any other plans to the road
plan. The exception is when the Albemarle County Service Authority has insisted in some cases that
utility plans (water and sewer)be part of the road plans, and this has been permitted.
A road plan must contain a title sheet specifically for the road plan, a plan view of the road, a profile of
the road, and specific and typical details for the road sections. Please also reference the Design Manual
in addition to this checklist.
Application information:
Z Completed application and fees. No review is provided without applications and fees. Plans
containing both public and private roads should pay the higher fee for private roads.
❑ Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps, VDEQ,
etc) [18-32.1.2, 14-311]
Title information:
Z Project title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be a road or street plan, not a site plan,
subdivision plan, or erosion control plan, etc.
Z Professional seal, with original signature and date. [18-32.6.1]
• Content: The road plan must contain, for each road/street/alley, at a minimum
1. a plan view, customarily at 1"=50' or better.
2. a profile view
3. a typical cross-section
Plan View: [18-32.6.2, 14-304, Subdivision Ordinance Article IV Division 2, VDOT SSAR]
Z Accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site features, and
any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale.
Z Date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually field
verified by the designer within the last year {Aerial topography is often noticeably inaccurate.
Disturbances sometimes take place subsequent to the flown date. This can be a particularly recurring
problem where early or mass grading plans have occurred previously. In these cases, the topography
needs to be updated.)
Z WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reservoirs, or floodplain limit if
greater [17-600]
Z Floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of 50+ acres [18
-32.6.2d, 18-30.3]
✓ All existing easements (access, drainage, sight, sanitary easements, etc.) with deed book references,
locations and dimensions.
Page COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
✓ All proposed streets included, with right-of-way and street names
Z Stationing at 50' minimum on all proposed streets, on plan and profile
✓ Street horizontal curve start point, end points and radii labeled, meeting standards
Z Cul-de-sacs provided on all dead-end streets or alleys (see the Design Manual reference details)
Z Street edge of pavement or curb radii labeled at all intersections and turnarounds (see the Design
Manual reference details)
✓ Roundabouts designed per VDOT and ASHTO guidelines
✓ Guardrail over any slope steeper than 3:1, wall, or drop-off greater than 4', with start and end
sections labeled, and VDOT designations (GR-2, GR-2a, etc.) (see the VDOT Road Design Manual.
Guardrail placement is complicated and subject to a lot of judgement and variation. This is a quick rule
-of-thumb summary.)
IZ Pavement markings dimensioned and labeled
Z Signs for traffic control shown and labeled: speed limit on all streets, stop signs at all intersections
Z Street name signs at every intersection, typically placed opposite stop signs [should reference
County Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance and Manual]
Z Street tree locations, species and height or caliper (typically to be reviewed by Planning)
Grading:
Z Proposed topography at minimum 2' contour intervals—tied into existing contours, as well as all
proposed site features. (Sites with less than 6' of grade change should consider using smaller contour
intervals.)
✓ Proposed slopes are all 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter {Design Manual, section 8}
✓ Proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover specified on the
plan {Design Manual, Section 8}
✓ Show existing critical (steep) slopes on plans (See County GIS, Steep Slope Overlay). Existing
critical slopes are not disturbed, unless a waiver or exemption has been granted for the disturbance.
✓ Retaining walls should be accurately shown on plans, reflecting material thickness and batter where
such measurements may affect layout.
Retaining Wall Plans checklist.
✓ Any walls supporting roads or necessary infrastructure require engineered plans (not generic
manufacturer's details) and computations. {Design Manual, section 8} This will also be required where
walls are close to property lines and there is the danger of affecting neighboring property, either during
construction, with later failures, or with pedestrian or vehicle safety. These concerns can be alleviate
with layout spacing also. In any case, retaining walls will require building permits at construction.
Required Easements: [Zoning Ordinance 18-32.7.4, Subdivision Ordinance, Article IV, Div. 4]
✓ All proposed permanent easements, dimensioned and labeled
Examples of easements are:
• sidewalk easements for sidewalks to be maintained with streets outside right-of-way. It is
preferable that sidewalk be inside street right-of-way.
• drainage easements for any drainage passing through the site from off-site, or for drainage
crossing proposed property lines.
• stormwater management easements over all facilities and associated structures and access
• interparcel access easements
• intersection or entrance sight easements
Pages COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
w All drainage easements are a minimum 20' wide. Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or channel width)
+2'+2(depth-5'). The pipe, channel or structure must be within the center third of the
easement. {Design Manual, section 6}
✓ No structures or trees within drainage easements {Design Manual, section 6}
✓ Label drainage easements beyond public rights-of-way as `Private'. A deed of easement for the
maintenance of these will be required for approval.
Entrances and right-of-way improvements: [per VDOT Secondary Street Acceptance
Requirements (SSAR), and VDOT Road and Bridge Standards]
✓ Only approved entrances are shown. Placing entrances on road plans should not be a way of
circumventing site plan review of entrance placement or number, or adequate review of traffic, spacing,
turn lanes, etc.
® All entrances have a VDOT designation [PE-1, CG-9a, etc). In the case of dense residential
development, concrete entrance aprons are important to continue drainage on the street side, and to
control fine grading of asphalt and sidewalks.
✓ Commercial entrances do not exceed 4% grade for a distance of 40' from the intersected street,
measured anywhere in the entrance [18-4.12.17]
Gt Unobstructed sight distance lines at entrances, more than 10' x speed limit,plus next 5mph
increment. For example: sight distance for 25mph design speed limit= 10' x 25 + 30 =280'. See
VDOT Road Design Manual, App B1, Sec. 3E
7 25' minimum radii on entrances (or per VDOT requirements, typically 25'-35') [per VDOT Access
Management Regulations and Standards]
✓ Turn and taper lanes where applicable with lengths and widths labeled (taper at 12:1 with 12' lane
widths)
Profile View: (applicable only to road or street plans)
✓ Stationing at 50' minimum on all proposed streets, to match the plan view sheets
✓ Proposed centerline
✓ Existing ground centerline (Historically,the existing centerline was field surveyed, but this is
happening much less with current aerial topography. This may be requested if inaccuracies are noted.)
P Labeled existing and proposed grade at each 50ft station point
✓ Vertical curves provided at all grade transitions
✓ Vertical curve start, vertex and end points labeled
✓ Vertical curve length and K(or stopping sight distance) labeled at each vertex, meeting required
design values
✓ Percent grades labeled for all road segments, meeting design values (VDOT Road Design Manual,
App. B)
✓ Rural street intersections continue the -2% intersected cross grade for a minimum of 20' from the
edge of pavement of the intersected street. A low point is provided off the intersected street for
drainage. {policy, following VDOT practice}
✓ Street grade is less than 4% for a minimum of 40' from the edge of pavement of the intersected
street. (This grade can be within the first road curve which transitions from the 2% intersected cross
grade) {policy, follows ord. for travelways 18-4.12}

ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
A road or street plan is an engineered construction plan for a public or private road or alley. It also
contains necessary infrastructure for the road, like drainage inlets, pipes, ditches, culverts, residential
and commercial entrances, slopes, retaining walls, signs, pavement markings and any other items
necessary for the road.
A road plan must be a stand-alone document, and titled as a road plan. A road plan is not a site
plan, or a stormwater plan, or an erosion control plan. Please do not attach any other plans to the road
plan. The exception is when the Albemarle County Service Authority has insisted in some cases that
utility plans (water and sewer) be part of the road plans, and this has been permitted.
A road plan must contain a title sheet specifically for the road plan, a plan view of the road, a profile of
the road, and specific and typical details for the road sections. Please also reference the Design Manual

preferable that sidewalk be inside street right-of-way.
• drainage easements for any drainage passing through the site from off-site, or for drainage
crossing proposed property lines.
• stormwater management easements over all facilities and associated structures and access
• interparcel access easements
• intersection or entrance sight easements

ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
6/M1 drainage easements are a minimum 20' wide. Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or channel width)
+ 2'+ 2(depth-5'). The pipe, channel or structure must be within the center third of the
easement. {Design Manual, section 6}
2Cto structures or trees within drainage easements {Design Manual, section 6}
Label drainage easements beyond public rights-of-way as `Private'. A deed of easement for the
maintenance of these will be required for approval.
Entr ces and right-of-way improvements: [per VDOT Secondary Street Acceptance
Re uirements (SSAR), and VDOT Road and Bridge Standards]
Only approved entrances are shown. Placing entrances on road plans should not be a way of
circu enting site plan review of entrance placement or number, or adequate review of traffic, spacing,
to anes, etc.
All entrances have a VDOT designation [PE-1, CG-9a, etc). In the case of dense residential
Bevel pment, concrete entrance aprons are important to continue drainage on the street side, and to
co of fine grading of asphalt and sidewalks.
Commercial entrances do not exceed 4% grade for a distance of 40' from the intersected street,
meeured anywhere in the entrance [18-4.12.17]
['Unobstructed sight distance lines at entrances, more than 10' x speed limit,plus next 5mph

❑ Retaining wall details referenced from plan, if detailed plans and comps were not required. This is
only really applicable to standard VDOT gravity walls. Walls not affecting the road should not appear
Road plans.
0ural section ditches may not be deep enough for 15" diameter culverts within the ditchline if the
ditches are only 1' deep. This usually involves moving the ditchline away from the road at driveway
locations, which may not be possible in denser development. Ditch and driveway culvert plans will
need to accommodate these situations.
