SDP-2020-00033 — Southwood Redevelopment — Village 1— Site Plan
Review #3 & 4
Dear Mr. Wentland & Ms. Kanellopoulos:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 04 June
2020, and offer the following comments:
1. Pedestrian crosswalk warrant is required for mid -clock crossings. Mid -block crossings are
crossings not associated with stop locations. These crossing must be evaluated in accordance
with the guidelines of IIM-TE-384. Crossings on a through street with no stop signs are
considered mid -block crossings.
2. CG-12 locations need to be relocated on the intersection corners for pedestrian visibility and
safety. Pedestrian crossings shall be on the intersection side of the stop sign location. See
sections 204 and 1330.5 for clarifications. VDOT Road & Bridge Standards Section 204.01,
note #8 ...Curb ramps should not be located behind stop lines, light poles, fire hydrants, drop
inlets, etc.
3. The alley's that serve lots need entrance designations as a commercial entrance and must
include appropriate geometry. Entrances appear to be a combination of CG-9 and CG-11,
and maybe CG-13. Moderate entrance design per RDM, Appendix F-89 should be met.
4. Please show offset spacing for Commercial Entrance Channelization Island per RDM F-98.
Island appears to be in travel way for road #3. There does not appear to be a 2'-3' offset
from the travel way on road #3. Please move face of island back a minimum 2' to behind the
face of Curb along road #3.

5. On -street parking within sight triangles will need to be removed to provide the view shed
