Re: SDP - 2014 -00019 Charlottesville - Albemarle Airport Surface Parking Expansion
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the site plan for the surface parking expansion at the Charlottesville -
Albemarle Airport dated February 2014 as submitted by Delta Airport Consultants, Inc. and offer
the following comments:
1. The proposed entrance onto Dickerson Road needs to be designed in accordance with the
standard for commercial entrances along highways with shoulders as found in Appendix
F of the Road Design Manual. Items of particular note that need to be addressed are:
a. The minimum radius at the entrance is 25'.
b. The entrance radius needs to be offset from Route 606 by 12'.
c. Since curb and gutter is currently shown on the entrance, it should be extended to
the radii as shown in Appendix F.
2. Turn lane warrants need to be provided for review.
3. The sight triangle to the right of the entrance does not appear to be drawn correctly.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
II' �
