Newberry Re: Springhill/Towneplace Suites — Initial Site Plan SDP-2016-00070 Review #1 Dear Mr. Newberry: The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Dominion Engineering, dated 13 May 2016, and offers the following comments: I . Show and Iabel existing ROW for each road that appears on the plans. 2. CG12's at the proposed entrance should be in line with the existing/proposed sidewalks, parallel to Route 29 and perpendicular to the entrance. 3. Please explain the jagged nature of the proposed sidewalk north of the entrance. 4. As per discussion with VDOT personnel during the 5/2/2016 County pre -application meeting, an access management exception for entrance spacing is required. 5. The proposed emergency access entrance, as proposed, could create problems whereas it could be perceived as a standard entrance. Drivers would pull in and be blocked by the bollards and otherwise unable to safely get back on to Route 29. We recommend providing mountable curb with "grasscrete" or other mountable grass surface to extend to at least the edge of ROW. 6. Provide drainage area maps (pre and post) and drainage calculations. 7. Complete drainage information will be required on the final site plan. More detail on Route 29 runoff and how it will be managed will be required. 8. Note that final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendices B(1) 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.
