Review #2
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Bohler, dated 18 June 2020, and
offer the following comments:
1. Entrance spacing does not appear to meet the minimum per RDM, Appendix F, pg. 26.
Please submit an AM-E for review.
2. Please show all entrances in the area for clarification. Please submit an AM-E for
review.
3. SR 29 is a major arterial. Downstream corner clearance needs to be addressed on
Berkmar Drive. Existing entrance into site does not appear to meet the minimum
requirements and should be closed to traffic. Queuing into the site has potential to affect
traffic flows for both Berkmar Drive and Route 29 South. Please submit an AM-E for
review.
4. Please show "mill and overlay" areas on plan view in accordance with WP-2. Show
limits of mill and overlay to adjacent travel lane. MOT plan is required for closure of
entrances and reconstruction. Please include the proposed mill and overlay areas on the
plan view page of the plan. MOT TTC-5.2 detail and notes shown on this submittal do
not appear adequate for the demolition and construction equipment for work on the SR 29
corridor. At a minimum a lane will be required to deliver the concrete for curb/gutter and
sidewalk construction.

Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
