Re: SUB -2015 -00097 & SDP - 2015 -00027 Villas at Belvedere
Dear Ms. Ray
We have reviewed the Villas at Belvedere Preliminary Plat, latest revision date of August 31, 2015, as
submitted by Collins Engineering, and offer the following comments.
Previous comment: The intersection sight line triangle should be labeled (i.e.: offset from the
edge of travel way and entrance centerline offset). A sight distance profile should also be
provided. This may be addressed with the final site plan, however, the entrance may need to be
adjusted at that point.
Previous comment: The roadway typical section detail should be provided for Belvedere Blvd
(asphalt pathway, buffer width, cross - slopes, the location and width of the proposed/existing
ROW, as well as the street trees, should be graphically shown with dimensions to the back of
curb).
3. Diagonal curb ramps are not recommended for new construction. The Clarendon Alley entrance
should show two CG -12 Type B's for each direction at the intersection to cross Clarendon Alley
and Belvedere Blvd (a new CG -12, on Church of God side, will be installed, by others, at a later
date). See figure A -5 -15 of appendix A of the VDOT Road Design Manual for guidance. The
existing CG- 12imid -block crossing, approximately 250' east of Clarendon Alley's entrance,
should be removed. These items may be addressed with the final site plan.
If you need further information concerning this project, or wish to schedule a meeting, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (434) 422 -9894.
