Review # 1
Dear Mr. Wentland:
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
September 12, 2019, and offer the following comments.
I. Provide ADT and the design and/or posted speed for Route 743. Provided ADT appears
to be incorrect.
2. Is the existing entrance built to low- or moderate -volume commercial entrance standards?
Will the proposed subdivision increase the number of trips enough to warrant entrance
upgrades? This is pertinent information that should be included on the plans. The
existing entrance geometry is required and must meet the commercial entrance
requirements found in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual, including adequate
intersection sight distances.
3. Provide turn lane warrant analyses, including a trip generation for the existing veterinary
facility combined with the proposed subdivision
4. Note that the final subdivision 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.
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. If further information is
desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
Sincerely,
