Review #1
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated
October 21, 2019, revised November 04, 2019, and offer the following comments.
1. The existing sidewalk along SR 250 is a narrow asphalt path without existing CG-12 or
crossing delineations for bicycles and pedestrians. Will the County require standard
sidewalk?
2. Please replace old curb cuts with continuous curb or acceptable edge of pavement.
3. Entrance geometry (including curb radii) must meet standards found in the Road Design
Manual, Appendix F.
4. Interconnectivity should be considered with the gas station to help alleviate the existing
congestion and points of conflict.
5. Please provide sight distance lines and profile for entrance onto Ivy Road (SR 250.
6. Entrance location does not meet required spacing from a signalized intersection and other
entrances as detailed in Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual.
7. Is the proposed entrance intended to be a partial access? If so, it must be physically
restricted.
8. 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.
9. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection
Manual. MOT plan should be on a separate sheet and designed for this project, include
the proposed mill and overlay.
10. 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
Iines and accommodate pedestrians.
11. Please provide sufficient information on the plans to evaluate the grading and drainage
aspects of the entrances and public roadway.
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.
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.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
