Review #1
Dear Mr. Clark:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 4
December 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide dimensions between proposed entrance and any other commercial entrances or
intersections. Will the existing entrances to the parcel remain? It appears those entrances
do not meet spacing requirements. Note that the minimum entrance spacing for a 55 mph
Collector road is 445 feet.
2. The required intersection sight distance is 695 feet; this plans show 495 feet. Profiles are
also required. Sight distance easements are required where the sight line is not within the
ROW.
3. The minimum commercial entrance width is 30 feet.
4. 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 Justin Deel 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.

RE: Greenmont Hopworks
Initial Site Plan
SDP2017- 77
Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated December 4, 2017, for the
proposed development, referenced above, and offer the following comments with regard
to water & sewer:
Water: I recommend chlorinating the existing well and testing for coliform
bacteria prior to use and annually thereafter. If a total of at least 25
individuals (employees, customers, etc.) per day are to use the well water,
the well will need to be regulated as a waterworks by the Office of
Drinking Water (540-463-7136).
Sewage: It appears the property has been investigated and an area identified for the
location of a drainfield, however, our office has not yet received, or
approved, the plans. Until plans for a Sewage Disposal System permit are
approved, this area may be subject to change.
Recommendation: Approval
Conditions: Owner obtains sewage disposal system permit for the area
indicated as "Approx. Drainfield Location"
If there are any questions or you wish to discuss, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
Alan Mazurowski
