ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
A road or street plan is an engineered construction plan for a public or private road or alley. It also
contains necessary infrastructure for the road, like drainage inlets, pipes, ditches, culverts, residential
and commercial entrances, slopes, retaining walls, signs, pavement markings and any other items
necessary for the road.
A road plan must be a stand-alone document, and titled as a road plan. A road plan is not a site
plan, or a stormwater plan, or an erosion control plan. Please do not attach any other plans to the road
plan. The exception is when the Albemarle County Service Authority has insisted in some cases that
utility plans (water and sewer) be part of the road plans, and this has been permitted.
A road plan must contain a title sheet specifically for the road plan, a plan view of the road, a profile of
the road, and specific and typical details for the road sections. Please also reference the Design Manual
in addition to this checklist.
Application information:
L✓Completed application and fees. No review is provided without applications and fees. Plans
containing both public and private roads should pay the higher fee for private roads.
ads Copies of federal and state permits for any wetland or stream disturbance. (Army Corps, VDEQ,
etc) [18-32.1.2, 14-311]
Title information:
_VProject title. Titles should be appropriate. It should be a road or street plan, not a site plan,
subdivision plan, or erosion control plan, etc.
✓Professional seal, with original signature and date. [18-32.6.1]
-"Content: The road plan must contain, for each road/street/alley, at a minimum
1. a plan view, customarily at 1 "=50' or better.
2. a profile view
3. a typical cross-section
Pl�n View: [18-32.6.2, 14-304, Subdivision Ordinance Article IV Division 2, VDOT SSAR]
v Accurate current existing topography at the time of submittal, including all existing site features, and
any recent disturbances, all at a legible scale.
7 Date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at least visually field
verified by the designer within the last year {Aerial topography is often noticeably inaccurate.
Disturbances sometimes take place subsequent to the flown date. This can be a particularly recurring
problem where early or mass grading plans have occurred previously. In these cases, the topography
needs to be updated.)
✓WPO buffer limits; 100' from stream or wetland bank, 200' from reservoirs, or floodplain limit if
greater [ 17-600]
✓Floodplain limits, including 100yr flood limits for any channel with a drainage area of 50+ acres [18

sections labeled, and VDOT designations (GR-2, GR-2a, etc.) (see the VDOT Road Design Manual.
Guardrail placement is complicated and subject to a lot of judgement and variation. This is a quick rule

V Street tree locations, species and height or caliper (typically to be reviewed by Planning)
Grading:
Pl' Proposed topography at minimum 2' contour intervals — tied into existing contours, as well as all
proposed site features. (Sites with less than 6' of grade change should consider using smaller contour
intervals.)
Yr Proposed slopes are all 2:1 (horizontal:vertical) or flatter {Design Manual, section 81
,W' Proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover specified on the
plan {Design Manual, Section 81
_X) ❑ Show existing critical (steep) slopes on plans (See County GIS, Steep Slope Overlay). Existing
critical slopes are not disturbed, unless a waiver or exemption has been granted for the disturbance.
l✓lh Retaining walls should be accurately shown on plans, reflecting material thickness and batter where
such measurements may affect layout.
Retaining Wall Plans checklist.
A& Any walls supporting roads or necessary infrastructure require engineered plans (not generic
manufacturer's details) and computations. {Design Manual, section 8} This will also be required where
walls are close to property lines and there is the danger of affecting neighboring property, either during
construction, with later failures, or with pedestrian or vehicle safety. These concerns can be alleviate
with layout spacing also. In any case, retaining walls will require building permits at construction.
Required Easements: [Zoning Ordinance 18-32.7.4, Subdivision Ordinance, Article W, Div. 4]
? All proposed permanent easements, dimensioned and labeled
Examples of easements are:
• sidewalk easements for sidewalks to be maintained with streets outside right-of-way. It is
preferable that sidewalk be inside street right-of-way.
• drainage easements for any drainage passing through the site from off -site, or for drainage
crossing proposed property lines.
• stormwater management easements over all facilities and associated structures and access
• interparcel access easements
• intersection or entrance sight easements

ROAD PLAN CHECKLIST
VAll drainage easements are a minimum 20' wide. Required width: 10'+(pipe dia. or channel width)
+ 2'+ 2(depth-5'). The pipe, channel or structure must be within the center third of the
easement. {Design Manual, section 61
F/No structures or trees within drainage easements {Design Manual, section 6}
VLabel drainage easements beyond public rights -of -way as `Private'. A deed of easement for the
maintenance of these will be required for approval.
Entrances and right-of-way improvements: [per VDOT Secondary Street Acceptance
Re ui, r(SSAR), and VDOT Road and Bridge Standardsl
✓Only approved entrances are shown. Placing entrances on road plans should not be a way of
circumventing site plan review of entrance placement or number, or adequate review of traffic, spacing,
turn lanes, etc.
❑ All entrances have a VDOT designation [PE-1, CG-9a, etc). In the case of dense residential
development, concrete entrance aprons are important to continue drainage on the street side, and to
2}troll fine grading of asphalt and sidewalks.
ommercial entrances do not exceed 4% grade for a distance of 40' from the intersected street,
measured anywhere in the entrance [18-4.12.17]
❑ Unobstructed sight distance lines at entrances, more than 10' x speed limit, plus next 5mph
increment. For example: sight distance for 25mph design speed limit = 10' x 25 + 30 = 280'. See
VDOT Road Design Manual, App B1, Sec. 3E

,J #Retaining wall details referenced from plan, if detailed plans and comps were not required. This is
only really applicable to standard VDOT gravity walls. Walls not affecting the road should not appear
on road plans.
#Rural section ditches may not be deep enough for 15" diameter culverts within the ditchline if the
ditches are only 1' deep. This usually involves moving the ditchline away from the road at driveway
locations, which may not be possible in denser development. Ditch and driveway culvert plans will
need to accommodate these situations.
