Review #2
Dear Mr. Wentland:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 20
August 2021, and find the following:
1. Please remove the parking spaces within the sight line triangles of Block 11 & 12. Plan
cannot be approved with obstructions or the ability to obstruct clear view within the sight
triangles.
2. Alternate turn around for the end of Horizon Road will need to meet the minimum
dimensions as shown in RDM Appendix B(1)-24. Please show measurements for
construction and inspection.
3. The commercial entrance radii from Horizon Road into parking lot for Block 12 does not
appear to meet the minimum required by RDM Appendix F-104. Please see table 4-3 Design
Vehicle and Turning Radius by Land Use.
4. Storm drainage system could not be verified. Please include the drainage calculations and
details for review.
5. Stop sign and Stop Bar appear to be 20' or more than a full car length from the location of
eye for sight distance. Please explain the discrepancy.
6. Manholes in Commercial entrance into Block 12 should be removed/relocated out of the
pavement area.
7. Manhole in the edge of travelway and parking should be removed/relocated out of the
pavement.
For additional information, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
