Review #7 (Revised)
Dear Mr. Wentland:

Fax: (804) 786,2940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Townes Site Engineering,
revised 31 July 2020, and offers the following comments:
Culverts with opening size greater than 36 square feet must be approved by the Culpeper
District Structure & Bridge and Hydraulic Sections; this also includes the proposed
pedestrian tunnel. Typically these approvals are required prior to plan approval, but may
be delayed until acceptance because this was not mentioned in previous reviews. Note that
we do not, however, recommend starting construction on these facilities prior to Structure
& Bridge approval. Also note that these structures require a Geotechnical report; please
see Chapter 3 of the VDOT Manual of Instructions for those requirements.
2. Please add a note to the plan: "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." This is especially important
in areas of Line of Sight and Line of Sight easements.
3. Stop signs appear to be missing from Crosscreek Place.
4. Stop Bars are not required on local streets intersections.
Please provide a copy of the revised plan along with a comment response letter.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
