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 May
11, 2020, and offer the following comments.
1. Entrance geometry (including curb radii) must meet standards found in the Road Design
Manual, Appendix F.
2. Exit right turn from site does not meet minimum requirement for turning radii.
3. Interconnectivity should be considered with the gas station to help alleviate the existing
congestion and points of conflict.
4. 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.
5. Is the proposed entrance intended to be a partial access? If so, it must be physically
restricted.
6. AM-E should be submitted for review.
7. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2. Show limits of mill and
overlay to adjacent travel lane. Area needs to be better defined and will include all work
proposed within right-of-way, to include the new curb & gutter.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Please provide sufficient information on the plans to evaluate the grading and drainage
aspects of the entrances and public roadway.
11. Proposed sidewalk needs to be moved out of the right-of-way.
12.
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
owner/developer must contact the VDOT Charlottesville Residency Land Use Section at (434)
422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
