Sincerely, Joel DeNunzio, P.E. Staff Engineer VDOT Charlottesville Residency AUNT October 26, 2011 Sarah D. Baldwin Albemarle County Department of Community Development Dear Ms. Baldwin, Thank you for the opportunity to review the preliminary site plan for SDP201100070 — Westminster Canterbury of the Blue Ridge Apartments. JAUNT has the following advisory comments. 1. This area is in the urban fare zone for JAUNT, where we provide trips primarily for people with disabilities. Charlottesville Area Transit would be the main transit option for the general public. The closest current CAT stop is a short walk from the site at the Social Security building on Pantops Mountain Place. 2. The roadway layout appears to be sufficient to allow JAUNT to serve the facility. a. What is the vertical clearance where the new building bridges the road? b. What is the vertical clearance of the first and second floor underground parking? c. It was unclear from the preliminary plans where the accessible building entrance(s) will be. When that is clarified, JAUNT can evaluate whether safe loading and unloading zones exist. 3. Pedestrian /bicycle connections: Some 4' sidewalks are shown. Consider wider sidewalks and grass buffer strips where possible to encourage walking. Also, a 5' minimum width would be required for two wheelchairs to pass. Please contact me with any questions.
