RWSA has reviewed the ACSA Avon Maintenance Yard Site plan dated 10/5/2022 by dewberry Engineers Inc. and has
the following comments.
General:
1. Based on elevations you may want to consider a booster station. The pressure from the tank to the ACSA station
may not be sufficient.
2. A drainage path is recommended for this site plan from our tank because when we have drained the tank in the
past it often ends up on Mill Creek dr. with your new site plan we recommended following the drainage of the
tank using elevations to make sure the water doesn't flood your site.
Virginia Department of Health— Alan Mazurowski, alan.mazurowskikvdh.vir ie nia.gov —No objection (11/15/2022).
As requested, I've reviewed the Final Site Plan (10/05/22) for the proposed construction referenced above. Since both water
and sewer will be connected to public utilities, and no existing onsite wells or septic systems exist, I have no concerns or
objections.
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB) — Khristopher Taggart, ktaeeart@albemarle.org — No objection
(11/7/2022). Entrance Corridor regulations are currently not being applied to properties along Avon Street Extended.

Rev. #2
Dear Mr. McCollum:
(804) 786-2701
Fax: (804) 786,2940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use Section, has
reviewed the above referenced ACSA Maintenance Yard — Final Site Plan, as submitted by Collins
Engineering, dated October 5, 2022 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
anyway, is not permitted
2. Inlet STM 18, Rte. 1293, Founders Place entrance area appears to be a sump condition inlet. STM
18 could not be located in the profiles and calculations. Please show the additional structure and
prove the existing SWM system is adequate for the additional drainage area and structure
installation.
3. Inlet STM 22, Rte. 742, Avon St. Ext. entrance area appears to be a sump condition inlet. STM 22
could not be located in the profiles and calculations. Please show the additional structure and prove
the existing SWM system is adequate for the additional drainage area and structure installation.
4. 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.
5. Minimum entrance radii for WB-67 truck is 50' per RDM, Appendix F, pg. F-104:
hMs://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/LocDes/RDM/AppendF.pdf Note: The width of
the entrance shall be wide enough so that the design vehicle does not encroach into the opposing
lane when entering the entrance.* The maximum width is 20 feet for a one-way drive and 40 feet
for a two-way drive. See "Entrance Width" in Definitions Section.
6. CG-13 commercial entrance appears to allow stormwater flows into and across Rte. 742, Avon St.
Ext., please clarify drainage paths in the entrance areas for both Rte. 742, Avon St. Ext. and
VirginiaDOT.org
WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING
Founders Place. What is the spread of water flow into Rte. 742, Avon St. Ext.? 10yr. storm event
flow should be captured prior to entry into travelway.
7. CG-12's do not appear to be shown correctly on Rte. 742, Avon St. Ext., please review VDOT
Standards section 200:
hMs://www.virpiniadot.org/business/resources/LocDesNDOT2016 Road and Bridge Standard
s/Section200/CS200.ndf
Plan view does not appear to show the truncated domes detectible warning surface per Road &
Bridge Standards. See note 12 on the CG-12 Detectible Warning Surface General Notes.
8. Sight lines do not appear to be shown per RDM Appendix F, pg. F-106. And should be a minimum
14.5' from edge of travelway.
9. Entrance spacing does not appear to meet spacing requirements. See figure 4-11, RDM Appendix
F, pg. 121:
httos://www.virginiadot.org/business/resources/LocDes/RD VAAp�endF.pdf
10. Proposed entrance on Avon St. Ext does not appear to meet spacing distance for commercial type
3 and an access management exception will need to be approved by VDOT prior to final plan
approval.
11. Provide proposed ADT for this project.
12. Per sheet C4.06 display for WB-67 truck, there does not appear to be adequate space between the
gate and the back -edge of the sidewalk for the design vehicle to set while the gate opens without
blocking the pedestrian path.
13. Please provide right/left turn lane warrants for 2 lane highway per RDM Appendix F.
14. Please show areas of mill/overlay for full lane width plus a minimum 2' past all proposed work
within the right of way.
15. Please note: A Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTC) is required to obtain a permit to work
within VDOT Right of Way. The TTC shall be prepared by an Advanced Work Zone Certified
person, certification card and verification number is required on the TTC submittal. For
