Review #1
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 20
March 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. With proposed parking only on one side of the street the Department is concerned that
this may become a source of problems for the neighborhood in the future.
2. Intersection sight distance triangles are required for all intersections, including private
alley entrances. A clear right sight distance line does not available for Alley C on to
Eastbrook Drive as it passes through 5 paraIlel parking stalls.
3. We recommend changing the limits of lot 66 to avoid the necessity of a sight distance
easement.
4. Please revisit the provided intersection angles, particularly Field Court.
5. Plans for the tunnel and culvert beneath Eastern Avenue will need to be submitted for
review by the District Structure & Bridge Department. Slope easements are required for
this area as well.
6. Turnaround easements are required where public roads dead-end on to private streets or
alleys.
7. The typical roadway sections are not dimensioned.
8. Note that the final subdivision/road plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road
Design Manual Appendices B(l) and F, as well as any other applicable standards,
regulations or other requirements.
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.
