Dear Mr. Moore:
We have reviewed all of your comments from October 2, 2020 and made the necessary
revisions. Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
1. Per the meeting with the applicant, ACSA, the County and VDOT it is understood that
the number of sanitary sewer manholes in the pavement will be reduced as much as
possible.
Acknowledged. The number of sanitary sewer manholes in the pavement has been reduced as
much as possible. The current design was arrived at through extensive coordination with
ACSA, VDOT, and Albemarle County.
2. The prescriptive easement shown down the center of Rte. 631 should be changed to a
dedication of R/W for the future maintenance and repair of Rte. 631.
The dedication of the existing prescriptive easement to Right-of-way has been added t to the
plan.
3. Storm water structure appears to encroach into Rte. 631 R/W. Please move proposed
structure out of the R/W.
The storm structure has been relocated outside of the R/W.
4. Hickory Street entrance does not appear to meet commercial entrance designs along
highways with shoulders. See page F-108 in the VDOT road design manual, Appendix F.
Please note, the curb radii should be offset from the Rte. 631 EP.
The Hickory Street entrance has been revised to reflect page F118 in the VDOT RDM Appendix
F. The curb radii has been offset accordingly.
S. Several curb radii measurements are missing on Sheets C5.00, C5.02 intersections.
ENGINEERING I DESIGN I TECHNOLOGY
Curb radii labels have been added at all intersections.
6. Wardell Crest CL Curve is less than the allowed 200' radii.
Centerline radius has been revised to 200'.
7. Traffic island on Cardinal Lane and Wardell Crest is in a curve and should reflect the
curve in road design. Island corner does not appear to be 2' setback from curve line.
The curves in the traffic island have been dimensioned. The island corner is 2' setback from
the face of curb as shown by the 30' dimension from the face of the island to the face of curb
on Wardell Crest in relation to the 28' curb -to -curb dimension of the road.
8. Stu bouts must be signed per the SSAR concerning potential/eventual street extension.
A stub -out street sign has been added to each stub -out and the VDOT SSAR stub -out street
sign has been added to the Notes & Details on sheet C1.01.
9. Marked crosswalks do not appear to be warranted and should be removed.
All marked crosswalks have been removed.
10. Please include a note stating that VDOT will only maintain within drainage easements to
the extent necessary to protect the roadway from flooding or damage.
This note has been added to sheets C4.07-C4.10.
11. Pedestrian crosswalk warrant is required for mid -clock crossings. Mid -block crossings
are crossings not associated with stop locations. These crossings 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.
All pedestrian crosswalks and mid -block crossings not associated with stop locations have
been removed.
12. Sight distance left from condo parking lot onto Wardell Crest will need to be shown on
adjacent phase of development.
Acknowledged. Wardell Crest currently dead ends at this location. Sight distance left from
condo parking lot onto the extension Wardell Crest will be shown in future phases of
development.
13. Please add note to plan: A Traffic Maintenance Plan (TMP) is required to obtain a permit
to work within VDOT Right of Way. The TMP shall be prepared by an Advanced Work
Zone Certified person, certification card and verification number is required on the TMP
submittal.
This note has been added to the Layout & Utilities Plan sheets on C4.01-C4.04.
We have included PDF copies of the plans and calculations for your review. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 434.295.5624.
