Review #2
Dear Mr. Padalino:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, revised 29 March 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. The 12' offset and taper, turning right out of the entrance, is a requirement for entrances
along highways with shoulders. However, this plan proposes curb and gutter. Please see
Figure 4-10 on page F-109 of Appendix F.
2. Sidewalks must be 8' in width if adjacent to curb without a buffer strip.
3. Please provide more detail concerning the proposed flume; what warrants this and how
does this alleviate the concern? It appears that a DI is warranted here instead, which must
lead to an established outfall.
4. The proposed crosswalk markings on S. Pantops Drive do not appear to be warranted.
Please see IIM-TE-384. Additionally, please provide justification for any proposed
midblock pedestrian crossings of S. Pantops Drive.
5. CG-12s are needed at the site entrance, angled perpendicular to the entrance.
6. The entire adjacent through lane throughout the width of the entrance must be included in
the area of mill & overlay on S. Pantops Road. Include callout on plans indicated this is
the area to be milled & overlayed in accordance with the WP-2 detail
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Dee] at 434-422-9894.
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.
