Re: SDP-2019-00019- Flow Mazda/VW — Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, P.C., dated
April 15, 2019 and offer the following comments.
Land Use
1. Please provide drainage calculations and show how the drainage runoff will be
adequately discharged.
2. The proposed entrance will need to have AM-E approval, it doesn't meet VDOT's
requirement on spacing distance. Please see VDOT's Road Design Manual appendix F-
pg., F-23., minimum spacing standards for commercial entrances, Intersections, and
median crossovers. Route 20 is a minor arterial road and the speed limit is 35 mph,
spacing distance required is 660'. (For entrances across or 440' if not aligned.)
3. Sight distance profile on route 20, SDR of 250'ft., doesn't meet VDOT's requirement of
440'ft., for the intersection stopping sight distance, please see VDOT's Road Design
Manual Appendix F-Pg., F-34., for specification criteria. SDR=440' and SDL=415
4. Relocating sight distance line may also impact adjacent parcel.
5. The County's Pantops master plan has called for a continuous right turn lane along Route
250 in this area. The County may require frontage improvements in this area.
6. Please 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 Willis C. Bedsaul 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 Charlottesville Residency land Use Section at (434) 422-9399
for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
U, v,,�v
