Review #1
Dear Ms. Nedostup:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, dated 20 December 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. The minimum curve radius for a 20 mph design speed, without superelevation, is 157
feet. This is based on minimum radius formula in the AASHTO Guidelines for Geometric
Design of Very Low -Volume Local Roads. Curves with radii less than 200' may require
advisory speed signs. Note that, however, all intersection sight distance lines within the
subdivision must be based on a 25 mph design speed (280').
2. The proposed plan does not meet SSAR connectivity requirements. An SSAR Waiver for
connectivity would be required.
3. A full turn lane warrant analysis with trip generation and warrant input calculations is
required and must be included on the plans.
4. Note that the final site plan and road plans 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 a copy 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.
Sincerely,
