RE: SDP201800024 — Improvements to Crozet Water Treatment Facility, Minor
Dear Sir:
Your Minor Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [Comment] Page one, cover sheet, correct: 1) spelling in the "...and to approved site plan
ammendement SDP#20600065," 2) information regarding TMP 57-10A, which is printed over other type
making information illegible.
2. [4.10.3; 4.10.3.1.a & b] Provide height of the PAC silo. Height of the structure may be limited by
4.10.3.1(b). The height of the structure is limited to its distance from the property line and the location
shown on the site plan which appears to be approximately 43 from the property line.
3. [32.7.2.1] Vehicular Access to Site. Each entrance onto any public street shall be designed and
constructed as required by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of
the entrance to the site shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
4. Recommend that use of Leyland Cypress be reconsidered for screeningibuffering along the proposed
ACSA easement adjacent to the Highlands development. While Leyland are a permitted species for
screening, they do not have a long life expectancy.

1. Provide specs for the proposed window glass. Ensure that VLT is not below 40% and VLR
does not exceed 30%. Add the standard window glass note to the drawings.
2. Add screening trees or tall screening shrubs to reduce visibility of the equipment on the east
side of the WTP building.
3. Revise the photometric plan to reduce illumination levels to not exceed 20 fc in all areas
outside the WTP sediment basins.
4. Ensure that the photometrics are calculated using an LLF of 1.0 and note the LLF on the
lighting plan.
5. Revise the fixtures to use LED lamps with a consistent warm white color temperature.
6. Provide a luminaire schedule on the plan that identifies fixture height.
7. Label the fixtures on the lighting plan (13 of 31) to coordinate with the cut sheets.
8. Extend the staggered row of evergreen plants down the north/west side of the access road to
provide greater screening.
9. Consider increasing the spacing between plants based on anticipated mature size.
10. Revise the plans to show a tree line to remain in the area where pipes are shown crossing the
road, and revise the landscape plan to show how this area will be replanted to attain an
appearance consistent with the surroundings.
11. Reconsider the Leyland cypress for screening.
12. Consider adding screening at the loading dock.
Fire and Rescue — Shawn Maddox
1. If there are no existing hydrants on the site and water line work is to be performed a hydrant should be
added. A location can be coordinated with Fire Rescue.
2. It is unclear if any site access work will be done. Fire rescue requires access to within 150' of
structures. Appropriate emergency apparatus turn arounds shall be provided if possible.
