Re: North Pointe Northwest — Final Site Plan

Review # 1
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 1 I
June 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. As stated in the Initial Site Plan review, the existing access easement to parcel 32-22K1
does not meet corner clearance requirements along the proposed alignment of Lewis &
Clark Drive; therefore, allowing a full access entrance for it is not a- requirement. If
discussions with the adjoining property owner occur, the Department's recommendation
would be for them to connect somewhere through the proposed development where the
parcel can have full access.
2. Additionally, regardless of the existing easement, installation of an entrance here will
require review by VDOT and a permit (depending on the acceptance status of the roads).
3. As stated in previous reviews of this development, the posted speed limit should be no
less than 30 mph. The typical section for Lewis & Clark Drive calls for a posted speed
limit of 25 mph.
4. The Route 29 Improvements Plan (SUB201600196) for the entrance of this site, which
must be approved in conjunction with this plan, has not been approved.
5. A temporary turnaround is required at the end of Lewis & Clark Drive, or acceptance will
end at the AIdrich Terrace intersection. See Appendix F of the Road Design Manual for
turnaround design standards,
If further information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
