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 30 Scale Engineering, dated 20
February 2020, and offer the following comments:
1. The existing CG-12 at the intersection of Greenbrier Drive and Commonwealth Drive do
not meet ADA requirements and should be perpendicular to the intersection. They can be
in the radii, but should direct pedestrians across both Greenbrier Drive and
Commonwealth Drive, not towards center of the intersection.
2. This project is on the corner of two major Collector routes and does not appear to meet
access management functional minimum requirements per RDM pg. F-26. An AM-E
exception/waiver to the spacing standards/access management requirements may be
required. See RDM pg. F-32 for guidance.
3. Please show minimum intersection sight distances on the plan per RDM pg. F-40.
4. 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.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
