Review # 1
Dear Mr. Fritz:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by the Central Virginia Electric
Cooperative, dated 29 October 2021, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide a vertical profile for the entrance.
2. Will the property be secured with a security gate across the entrance? If so, please show
this gate on the Plans.
3. The sight lines shown on Sheet C205 appear to originate on the road. Redraw these sight
lines so they originate from the proper location shown in Figure 2 of Appendix B(1), and
Appendix F of the Road Design Manual, and ensure the sight -line -profiles are still valid.
4. Provide a 15-foot right-of-way dedication across Craigs Store Rd (Rte 635) across the
front of the subject -parcel in both locations.
5. Provide drainage calculations showing that the proposed culvert underneath the proposed
entrance is an adequate size.
6. 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.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113.
