Re: The Center at Belvedere- Initial site plan

Review #1
Dear Ms. Saternye:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by W&W Associates, dated
November 02, 2017, and offers the following comments:
Land Use
1. Please provide trip generation data.
2. Traffic on Belvedere should be consistent with count data, with County.
3. Please provide right and left turn lane analysis; please refer to VDOT's Road Design
Manual appendix F, Pg., F-75 for details. Warrants for left and right turn lanes on two-
lane Highways.
4. Please provide drainage calculation for proposed drainage structures in parking lot.
5. PIease remove DI-3B outside of pavement. The existing pipe must be extended.
6. Sheet# C110, entrance and sight distance Iines are shown incorrectly. Measured distance
needed from edge of travel lane should be 14.5' and line distance should be 330' for 30
MPH. Please refer to VDOT's Road Design Manual appendix, B1, pg., B (1)19 for the
appropriate procedures for measuring sight distance lines. The proposed parking spaces
on Belvedere that fall within the sight distance lines will have to be eliminated.
7. The typical section for Belvedere doesn't match what's drawn on sheet# C105. Sidewalk
on typical section says 5' and sheet# C 105 says 6' ?
Please note that the 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 Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
