Re: ZMA-2013-012 Rivanna Village
Dear Ms. Yaniglos:
We have reviewed the proposed rezoning plan for Rivanna Village dated 7115113 with revisions
dated 10/21/13 as submitted by Terra Concepts, P.C. and offer the following comments:
1. The roadway at the intersection of Quarry Lane and Park Street needs to be a minimum
radius of 200' rather than the intersection configuration shown.
2. The trip distribution for each section of roadway should be provided. This will dictate
the minimum radius at the intersection of Park Street and Cattail Trail which will be
needed rather than the T -intersection shown.
3. A turn -around needs to be provided at the western end of Park Street near the intersection
with Quarry Lane. As the lot adjacent to the proposed road in this location appears to be
developed, it is unlikely that Park Street would be extended onto the adjacent property.
4. A turn -around needs to be provided at the western end of Terrapin Circle near the
intersection with Crescent Avenue. As the lot adjacent to the proposed road in this
location appears to be developed, it is unlikely that Terrapin Circle would be extended
onto the adjacent property.
5. With a 100' scale, it is difficult to determine whether corner clearance is met with
Butterfield Lane to Terrapin Circle. As part of the road plan review, we will need to
make sure that the intersection meets the corner clearance requirement of 225 feet.
6. On Sheet 4 of 7, there are several references of "Span Over Stream". Is it the intention to
cross these streams with bridges or will box culverts be used?
7. The pavement structure indicated in the typical sections will need to be verified by
calculation.
8. The middle typical section references Steamer Ln., while the plan view is labeled
Steamer Drive.
9. What is the purpose of having 4' and 4.5' of additional right-of-way beyond the sidewalk
as shown in the middle typical section on Sheet 4 of 7? Typically, there would be 1' of
right-of-way beyond the sidewalk.
10. The section widths shown in the middle typical section do not add up to 61' of right-of-
way.
11. The justification for using 29' face to face instead of 31' face to face in the middle typical
section should be provided.
12. It would be helpful if the ADT were provided for each specific street listed on the typical
sections and if the specific streets that will be no parking and one -side parking were
labeled.
13. The locations shown of street trees on Sheet 7 of 7 do not appear to comply with the
corner setback for street trees as defined in Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual.
14. After reviewing the revised TIA, we have no further comment regarding the TIA.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
