Scott,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
Engineering (Emily Cox)
1. Professional seal should be signed and dated. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
2. WPO has been approved, however this plan must comply. Was culvert 1 part of the WPO Plan? It
appears to be a concentrated outfall which was not considered? Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. Culvert 1 should be analyzed for the 25-year storm since it is an emergency access road. Rev. 1:
This comment was referring to culvert 1 shown on sheet 12 that is off of the emergency
access road. Calculations are not evident on this plan.
4. There appears to be a private road off of Farmhouse Road that has no profile or typical section.
Please clarify. Rev. 1: Noted that the details for this travelway will be part of the site plan. It
is not approved with this plan. Please provide the site plan number on the note on Sheet 4.
5. Provide horizonal curve information (start point, end points, radii). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. Any pavement markings should be labeled and dimensioned. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. Rev. 1: Please reference the approved WPO Plan # anywhere you notate, per approved
VSMP Plan.

Memorandum
To: Emily Cox
From: Megan Nedostup- Principal Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: May 28, 2019
Rev: August 28, 2019
Subject: SUB2019-071 Pleasant Green- Phase 1 Road Plans
1. Sidewalks and street trees should be bonded with the road plans.
Rev1: Comment needs to be addressed with bonding.
- - u . _.,- r, r r... M ....,lnect to Alston Street?
Rev1: Comment addressed since VDOT does not permit connection.
3. As commented on during the initial site plan (SDP2018-068): "Will the alley need to be a
road for frontage purposes for Phase 2 of this development? If so, this alley should be a
public private road and will need to meet all the requirements including sidewalks,
street trees, etc. If it will be a private road, a justification will be required under 14-233.
In addition, the lots will be double frontage lots and need to include screening as
required."
Rev1: Comment addressed with layout revisions.
4. Any parking and landscaping related to parking should be removed from the road plans,
including landscaping within the open space areas. The road plan landscaping should
just include landscaping related to the right of way/street trees. The required
landscaping outside of the right of way will be reviewed and approved with the site
plan. Revised the landscape plans and plant list accordingly.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
5. Any required street tree landscaping that is not within the right of way will be required
to be in an easement that will need to include a deed for maintenance.
Rev1: Comment will need to be addressed with a plat after road plan approval.
6. Any notes outside of those required for the road plans should be removed from the
road plans. For example, density and parking requirements are not needed for road plan
approval.
Rev1: Comment partially addressed. Please note that any improvements shown
outside of the road requirements including lots, lot layouts, building, landscaping,
open space, etc are not approved with this road plan. Site plan and subdivision
approval will be required for those elements outside of the right of way.

New Comment:
1. A special use permit has been submitted that includes roads within this plan and
recommended conditions that may affect the layout of the plan/lots. A new road
plan may be required if the SP is approved with the recommended conditions of
the SP.

Review #2
Dear. Ms. Cox:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 3
May 2019, revised 12 August 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. Please provide sight distance diagrams and profiles consistent with those shown on the
FHWA guide beginning on page 159. VDOT recommends dedicating separate plan
sheets for the roundabout geometric design and supporting diagrams.
2. It does not appear that the location of the roundabout is in conformance with the FHWA
guide on page 145 relating to the radial alignment.
3. The Auto Turn and fastest path diagrams and calculations were not included on the plans.
4. There should be a 50 ft. landing area of no more than 2% grade prior to intersections and
roundabout yield points.
5. Please remove the chevron signs from the roundabout; instead use Type 1 object markers
if the curb is mountable. VDOT recommends mountable curb for the splitter islands. If
barrier curb is used a keep right sign must be used in place of the chevron signs.
Please provide one copy 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 Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
