Dear Mr. Wentland and Ms. Ragsdale:

The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plans as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 3
December 2021, and find the following:
1. Please remove all Structure and Bridge Standard Details from the plans. S&B standard details
are to be referenced in plan notes and located on the VDOT website:
hops://www.virainiadot.orwbusiness/locdes/2016 road and bridge standards.asp
The Standard Drawings contained in the VDOT Road & Bridge Standards are signed and
sealed engineering drawings that are copyrighted materials of VDOT and the Commonwealth
of Virginia. VDOT's policy is to offer the Standard Drawings in a secure electronic format and
each Standard is available on this website. Plan assemblies using the Road & Bridge
Standards shall reference each standard used. Inserting the Standard Drawings into VDOT,
locality, or private development plan assemblies, or modifying the Standard Drawings in any
way, is not permitted.
2. For project specific applications, special design drawings based on VDOT standards shall
include all details, notes, dimensions, and quantities necessary to completely construct the
item.
3. Drainage calculations should include hydraulic information such as but not limited to the
spread, depth of spread, carry-over, sump conditions, hydraulic grade lines, etc. These should
be part of the MS4 review and may not have been submitted to this agency.
4. Landscaping plan proposed large trees do not appear to be a good choice for narrow grass
island/strips. Willow Oaks are fast growing, surface rooted trees that tend to uproot sidewalks

and curb/gutter. Please consider smaller slower growing trees for the proposed right of way
islands between sidewalk and curb/gutter.
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,
Doug McAvoy Jr., P.E.
Area Land Use Engineer
