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 Shimp Engineering, dated 04
November 2019, revised 02 April 2020, and offers the following comments:
1. Show, ADT, ROW width, design and posted speeds.
2. This plan appears to include improvements (left turn lane) to Route 631, please provide
both left and right turn lane warrant analysis.
3. Provide spacing to the nearest intersections and entrances along Route 631.
4. Please provide drainage calculations, and plot HGL's on storm sewer profiles.
5. The site plan cannot be approved until the required sight distance easements are recorded.
6. Please note that sight distance will be checked in the asbuilt condition.
7. The entrance does not meet VDOT's requirements for a commercial entrance, 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.
8. Please provide auto turn diagrams showing an SU-40 can make all the movements w/o
encroaching on other lanes.
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 Bedsaul at (434) 422-9866.
