Re: Auto Zone #6464 — Initial Site Plan

Review #1
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 14
December 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. Show route number, ADT, and posted speeds for each road that an entrance is being
proposed.
2. Provide the distance from the proposed Route 29 entrance to Greenbriar Drive. The
minimum distance for a partial access entrance at this location is 305 feet. The proposed
entrance appears to meet the minimum spacing to Westfield Road, but does not appear to
meet the minimum spacing to Greenbriar Drive, though that distance is not provided. An
Access Management Exception (AM/E) for entrance spacing will be required if the
spacing to Greenbriar Drive is not at least 305'.
3. The proposed Westfield Road entrance does not appear to meet corner clearance
requirements; provide the distance to Route 29. An AM/E will also be required for this
entrance.
4. If an entrance is permitted via AM/E on Route 29, a right turn lane warrant analysis must
be provided.
5. This plan does not include intersection sight distance lines and profiles, which must be
provided for each entrance.
6. How is runoff managed from the entrance that appears to flow in to Route 29?
7. Note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDDT Road Design
Manual Appendices B(i) 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.
