required by the County Ordinance when it was subdivided. It did not approve a private street to serve
the four new lots proposed by this application, and a new approval by the Planning Commission will
be required for the new private street that will serve lots 1-4.

As the plans show the new road coming off the existing St Francis Ave the new road name will
need to remain St Francis Ave. This name will need to be noted on the plans on the new
section of road. If the entrance changes then we may need to revisit this and see if anything
needs to change.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 12
October 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide ADT and the design and/or posted speed for Route 743.
2. Is the existing entrance built to low- or moderate -volume commercial entrance standards?
Will the proposed subdivision increase the number of trips enough to warrant entrance
upgrades? This is pertinent information that should be included on the plans. The existing
entrance geometry is required and must meet the commercial entrance requirements
found in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual, including adequate intersection sight
distances.
3. Provide turn lane warrant analyses, including a trip generation for the existing veterinary
facility combined with the proposed subdivision
4. Note that the final subdivision 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 Dee] at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
