Re: SDP-2019-00025-Lowes and Floor Fashions — Minor Site Plan Amendment
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Meridian Group, LLC., dated
April 16, 2019 and offer the following comments.
1. Please provide drainage calculations and show how the drainage runoff will be
adequately discharged.
2. The proposed entrance improvement on Route 250, does not 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 250 is a minor arterial road and the speed limit is 45 mph, spacing
distance required is 470'.
3. The proposed entrance improvement on Hunter's Way, doesn't meet VDOT's
requirement on corner clearance. Please see VDOT's Road Design Manual appendix F-
pg., F-116., for design criteria.
4. Please provide sight distance lines and profiles for proposed entrances.
5. 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.
6. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2 and show limits of mill
and overlay to adjacent travel lane. Also please add the detail to the plans.
7. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection
Manual. Sufficient for the paving necessary.
8. Please provide details on the existing drainage structure proposed to be modified with
this plan.
9. Increased runoff to the existing 30" and 48" pipes crossing must be shown to be
hydraulically adequate and the pipes must be in good condition.
10. The new 6" sanitary line appears to outfall into the storm swale. Please clarify.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response Ietter. If further
information is desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
