EKERN, P.E. COMMISSIONER December 2nd, 2008 Mr. Glenn Brooks Department of Engineering and Development 401 McIntire Rd. Charlottesville, VA 22902 Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments December 4d', 2008 site review meeting Dear Mr. Brooks: Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the December 4d', 2008 Site Review Committee Meeting: SDP - 2008 -00169 Eckman Property (AT &T CV379)- Prelim. (Megan Yaniglos) • Show sight distances in accordance with the requirements of The Minimum Standards of Entrances to State Highways at the existing entrances along Route 29 and Route 710. SDP - 2008 -00170 American Legion Post 74 -Maior (Summer Frederick) • An entrance profile needs to be shown on the proposed entrance that meets the requirements of the CG -11 standard as shown in the VDOT Road and Bridge Standards. • Show the sight distance on Route 22 in accordance with The Minimum Standards of Entrances to State Highways. SDP - 2008 -00171 Free Bridge Office- Prelim. (Elizabeth Marotta) • The minimum width requirements for commercial entrances as shown in 24VAC 30 -71 -160 are measured at the throat of the entrance, not the right of way line. The minimum width at the throat is 30 feet. • The sight distance lines that fall outside of the right of way will require sight easements. • According to the lateral setback requirements stated in VDOT's Road Design Manual, appendix A, page A -16, the minimum setback for the clear zone for WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING roads of 45 mph and less is to be 8 feet or the back of the sidewalk, whichever is greater. The proposed street trees are within this clear zone and need to be removed. A clear zone easement should be provided for the minimum setback according to these requirements. Street trees are only permitted with the 3 foot offset when the design speed of the road is 20 mph or less. I would recommend placing the trees behind the sidewalk and providing the clear zone easement. • Show the trips generated from the site. • The plan needs to include the drainage computations for the changes that will affect the 36 inch RCP under Olympia Drive and the rest of the system that is affected. • Show the entrance profile at the connection to Olympia Dr. SDP - 2008 -00279 Kenridge Section 3 Final • No comments.
