Dear Mr. Wentland:

Fax: (804) 786,2940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section has reviewed the North Pointe Subdivision, Section 2 - Road Plans, dated January 24,
2022 as submitted by Townes Site Engineering 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: 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.
All VDOT Standard Details have been removed and replaced with a reference table
on sheet C-9
2. 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.

undivided road.
Per meeting with VDOT with the 36' cross section of the road the location of the
waterline is acceptable.
6. Please show the cross drain locations on both the plan and profile pages as noted on
sheet C-1
Cross drains have been added in plan and profile views.
7. Show "No Parking" signage on all roads.

8. Road stubs should be built to the property line for future connections.
Per meeting with VDOT the previous location of the road terminus is acceptable. A sign
about future extension has been provided as requested.
9. Stubouts must be signed per the SSAR concerning potential/eventual street extension.
Signage notation & detail have been added to the plans.

Barricade has been shown on plans at end of stub roads
11. Provide drainage calculations.

12. Drainage across CG-12's is generally problematic and proposed flows should be
diminished as much as possible to prevent ponding after construction. Examples:
a. Retreat Loop and Lewis And Clark Drive
b. Steep Rock Court and Steep Rock Place
c. Cliff View Court and Cliffstone Boulevard
Per meeting with VDOT a note has been added to the detail that says the minimum
slope of the CG-12 is to be 0.5%

CG-9(D) is required instead of CG-9 A,B, or C
