Review #1
Dear Ms. Saternye:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 30
November 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. Full dimensions of the shifting tapers and turn lanes must be provided on the plans. All
dimensions must be in accordance with Appendix F; please refer to Figure 3-4.
2. Provide analysis showing that the provided 100' of turn lane storage is adequate;
otherwise, 200' is the minimum.
3. Please note that trees within the sight distance easements or right-of-way may have to be
removed if not pruned in such a way as to avoid becoming sight line obstructions.
4. Provide the VDOT WP-2 detail and note on plans the required area of mill and overlay in
accordance with the WP-2 standard. Note that the entire affected lane must be included,
throughout the entire width of the affected area.
5. The entrance curbing should be offset 12 feet from the edge of pavement, and extended
the required length of storage and taper if a right turn lane is warranted. See Figure 4-9,
Appendix F.
6. Provide a Traffic Maintenance Plan in accordance with the latest revision of the Virginia
Work Area Protection Manual.
7. Note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or
other requirements.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
