Re: SDP-2019-00005- FIow MazdaNW - Special Use
Dear Ms. Maliszewski:
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
May 30, 2019 and offer the following comments.
Land Use
1. Please provide a truck circulation diagram for vehicle delivery trucks.
2. The proposed entrance 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.) An AME application will need to be submitted and
reviewed.
3. 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.
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.,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
