Review #1
Dear Ms. Satemye:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Blazer & Associates, dated
March 25, 2019 and offers the following comment:
Land Use
1. Please demonstrate that the existing grate inlet structure and 18" RCP is adequate in the
post -development condition.
2. If the proposed grading within the right of way is essential to the water quality feature it
should be removed from the right of way. Please add a note stating that VDOT is not
responsible for maintaining the grading.
3. The total traffic turning left now equals I % and guidance from Traffic Engineering is that
the 5% chart is valid. Considering the high Ievels of advancing and opposing traffic
significant congestion delays and safety concerns are possible with even a small quantity
of left turns.
4. Note; please remove all grass and pavement from edge of pavement to roadway.
Please provide a copy of the revised plan along with a comment response Ietter. If further
information is desired, please contact Willis C. BedsauI at 434-422-9866. A VDOT Land Use
Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The owner/developer must
contact the VDOT Charlottesville Residency Land Use Section at (434) 422-9399 for
information pertaining to this process
Sincerely,
