Review #1
Dear Ms. Gleason:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plans as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 01-
15-2020 & 01-30-2020 respectively, and offer the following comments:
An SSAR Exception for connectivity will be required in order for this plan to be
approved. Has this been submitted for review?
2. Please add the following note to the plan: 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.
3. FIFE trip generation should be from 91h edition or later.
4. Please review proposed contour 664 @ sta. 15+30 on Indigo Road.
5. Indigo Road Cul-De-Sac should have a slight crown in the center to direct water to the
gutter.
6. Ponding of water may occur @ sta. 15-85 on Indigo Road parking space. Spot elevations
should be shown in areas of potential ponding.
7. Please show spot elevations on CG-9D/sidewalk area of paved emergency access for
adequate drainage into proposed stormwater system.

S. Storm sewer pipes should cross streets at 90 degree to flow of traffic.
9. Stormwater system appears to be deeper than may be required for adequate drainage.
Deep stormwater systems and utilities conflict should be avoided. Please review utility
layout design for conflict resolution to rectify proposed depth of utilities. VDOT
Drainage Manual 9.4.1 (Design Concepts, System Planning)
10. Please review proposed HGL in stormwater system. (sheet 7)
11. Show proposed underdrains/cross-drains on plan & profile.
12. CG-9D's do not appear to be shown per detail in cul-de-sac of Indigo Road.
13. Due to the level of items noted in this review, these comments may not be exhaustive.
Please provide a copy of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
