Review #1
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and
Land Use Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp
Engineering, dated 2 September 2021, and find the following:
1. Please remove trees within 30' of intersections per B(1)-44 RDM.
2. Please remove parking spaces within the sight triangle on Berkmar Drive.
3. 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. The HOA will be
responsible for the maintenance of sight lines.
4. CG-12 design appears to be from the commercial entrance detail (Heavy
Truck Traffic Anticipated) or the method of installation on radius pages of
the Road & Bridge Standards. Please utilize Type A (With Buffer) or Type
C (Perpendicular) application.
5. Every effort should be made to minimize manhole installations at street
intersections and in the normal wheel path of the travel lanes.
6. Stop signs appear to be missing or in the wrong locations. Please review
the stop sign locations.
7. Please show the mail boxes & cluster box units per RDM Appendix B(1)

8. VDOT will only maintain the sidewalk adjacent to the roundabout. Please
remove the right of way line from the propose sidewalk on the roundabout
for Timberwood Blvd. and Conner Drive.
9. Please verify the right of way for Timberwood Blvd. and Conner Dr. as the
line does not appear to match the County GIS records.
10.Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road
Design Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable
standards, regulations or other requirements.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
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.
