Review #1
Dear Mr. James:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, dated October 22, 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. CG-12 locations need to be relocated on the intersection corners for pedestrian visibility
and safety.
2. CD-1 shown at sta. 10+59 appears incorrectly labeled as Sta. 12+36 on proposed Fowler
Street.
3. CD-1 needed at sta. 12+50, sta. 17+85, and sta. 19+00 on proposed Fowler Street. Cross
drains will also be shown in plan view tying into drainage structures.
4. Pavement designs need to be in accordance with the Pavement Design Guide for
Subdivisions and Secondary Roads, 2018 edition.
http://www.vir2iniadot.org/business/resources/Materials/Pavement Design Guide for S
ubdivision. and Secondary Roads.pdf
5. Sight distance triangles do not appear to be shown per RDM appendix F, please see table
2-5 Intersection sight distance detail.
6. Please show "No Parking" signs in the sight distance triangles.
7. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2. Show limits of mill and
overlay to adjacent travel lane. Also, please add the WP-2 detail to the plans.
8. Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will need to be
maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to preserve sight
lines and accommodate pedestrians.
9. Note that the final 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 Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
