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 10
July 2020 and offer the following comments:
1. Proposed entrance does not meet the minimum spacing distance required. Please see
VDOT's Road Design Manual appendix F., pg., F-23, minimum spacing distance
standards for commercial entrances and intersections and median crossovers. As
proposed an AM-E will be required.
2. Right of Way Dedication will need to be conveyed and deeded to the commonwealth of
Virginia prior to final site plan approval.
3. The concrete path shown does not meet VDOT standards for a shared use path, nor does
it connect to a VDOT shared use path on either end. VDOT will only maintain
pedestrian facilities that meet our design standards. We recommend installation of a
standard 5 ft. wide sidewalk here.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Willis Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
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.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
