The specific request was to identifv what chanaes are required to brine the road into the state system. I have reviewed all of the files available to me. I have found no specific summary of improvements that are required. Attached are two separate documents I found that speak in one way or another about necessary improvements. I have spoken with Joel DeNunzio at VDOT to see if he had any additional information. He does not. A detailed road plan showing the existing design of the road including pavement design, horizontal and vertical curvatures and drainage would need to be submitted to VDOT to allow them to determine if the road meets the construction standards for acceptance. Mr. DeNunzio, also pointed out that since this road was last reviewed for possible acceptance some standards may have changed. One significant change is the connectivity requirements VDOT has for roads. As built this road likely does not meet those standards. I hope this information is somewhat helpful. If you have questions please feel free to contact me. Joel DeNunzio may be reached at 589 -5871. Sincerely, William D. rrtz, AICP Chief of Current Development From: Winn, Jr., John W. L.S. [Johnl.Winn @VDOT.Virginia.gov] Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 4:22 PM To: David E. Pennock Subject: SUB 05 -302 Redbud Phase 2 Rt 20 David, I have reviewed the recently submitted plans for Redbud Phase 2. The proposed roadway cannot be taken into the State Secondary System until the existing Redbud Lane has been brought up to current State standards for roadway design and entrance criteria met to ensure a safe and well engineered roadway. A plan needs to be submitted for the existing Redbud Lane to show the existing geometrics and the proposed upgrade for the existing road. The planning and construction needs to start at Rt. 20 and continue in toward the proposed road and cul -de sac. John W. Winn Jr. L.S. Contract Administrator (Construction) Charlottesville Residency Tel # 434 - 293 -0011, Ext.119 johnl.winn@vdot.virginia.gov 09 -18 -2007 SUB - 2005 -00302 Redbud Subdivision (Existing and Proposed) Allan, We have reviewed the above plan and have the following comments: Existing Road: . Sight distances and adequate intersection treatment needs to be provided at the intersection of route 20. According to the existing traffic and the proposed development, there should be a taper from the right turn approach. Culvert and ditch computations need to be provided with the plan. • The vertical curve at station 24 +37 does not meet standards. The 11.608% grade beyond the vertical curve is steeper than acceptable and the 0% grade starting around station 28 +00 can cause drainage issues. The VPI at station 24 +68.10 should be moved back to 24 +40 +/- with the addition of a vertical curve that meets the minimum K =17 or greater. The grade should then go up at no greater than 10% to around station 29 +00 +/- with a vertical curve around 400 to 450 feet or whatever length hits closest to the existing grade to minimize grading. The grade should then go back down at 10% and hit in the approximate location where it is currently proposed. This change will reduce the grade and increase the K values to at least meet the minimum standards and provide adequate grades for drainage by removing the 0% grade. The note on the typical section for shoulder widening when guardrail is installed needs to show widening to 7 feet. Minimum size of driveway culverts needs to 15 inches. Sideslopes should not be steeper than 3:1 Proposed Road Sideslopes need to be 3:1. The shoulder width when adding guardrail needs to be 7 feet. EC -1 Class II shouldbe used on the outlet protection for the proposed culvert. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks, Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
