Review #1
Dear Mr. Jocz:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, 24
October 2016, and offers the following comments:
I. Sheet 6 shows an expected ADT of up to 5,000 for Belvedere Boulevard, is this correct?
Please verify ADT north of Shelton Street, as an ADT greater than 4,000 will change the
geometric design requirements, which are not being met with the proposed plan.
2. The minimum design speed for streets with 2,000-4,000 ADT (Fowler & Farrow) is 30
mph. Please adjust design and sight distances accordingly.
3. Please provide an overall build -out plan for Belvedere, pdf format is fine.
4. It appears that an all -way stop is being proposed at the intersection of Fowler Street and
Farrow Drive. Please provide the warrant analysis for the proposed all -way stop. It
appears that Farrow Drive would be the major road at this intersection.
5. In the vicinity of numerous intersections there are proposed sag curves with k-values of
2.5. The minimum allowable for these curves is 26.
6. Provide horizontal curve data for Fowler Street.
7. There are multiple pipe flow velocities that exceed 10 fps. The drainage manual states
that pipe velocities in excess of 10 fps are to be avoided. We recommend that velocities
be adjusted accordingly.
8. Please show HGL's on profiles. Also provide HGL calculations, which should be
consistent with existing plans showing existing structures that are being tied in to.
9. Provide all applicable DI-3 details.
10. For streets proposed to have parking on 1 side, clearly indicate which side and provide
"No Parking" signs. However, as we are aware of parking issues in this area, without
further explanation we cannot recommend a change from previous approved plans to
remove parking areas.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
