RE: Response Letter #1 for SDP202000063 HTC Area C Townhomes - VDOT
Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your review of the Initial Site Plan for HTC Area C Townhomes. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated May 27, 2020. Our responses are as follows:
1. CG-12 handicap ramps will need to be redesigned to direct pedestrians across entrances and not
into the travelway. No mid -block crossing has been warranted.
This has been provided with revised design, except for the 1 mid -block crossing required to
access the playground. This has signage to warn drivers. Please note that these are private
streets.
2. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2. Show limits of mill and overlay
to adjacent travel lane. Also, please add the WP-2 detail to the plans.
Mill & overlay per WP-2 shown. Details not added, because VDOT does not allow details on
plans.
3. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection Manual.
MOT plan should be on a separate sheet and designed for this project, include the proposed mill
and overlay phase of construction.
MOT plan provided.
4. Please remove trees within 30 of intersections per B(1)-44 RDM.
Trees removed.
5. Please remove the parking spaces within the sight triangles.
Parking spaces removed from sight triangles.
6. 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.
Note added to C5, C11, & C12 where relevant.
7. 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.
Noted, recent changes provide this.
