Review #1
Dear Mr. Padalino:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by BohIer Engineering, dated 19
December 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide the dimensions from the proposed entrances to existing commercial entrances or
intersections. The proposed entrance on Route 29 does not appear to meet Access
Management spacing requirements as the required spacing from a partial access entrance
to an intersection on a 45 mph principal arterial is 305 feet; therefore, an approved
Access Management Exception would be required.
2. The proposed right -turn lane and taper do not meet the minimum required dimensions.
3. Provide both left- and right -turn lane warrant analyses for the entrance on Proffitt Road.
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 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.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
