RE: LOR for Monticello Visitor Center Parking Lot Lighting
Dear Rob,
I have reviewed your requests for a Letter of Revision and an Amendment to a Certificate of Appropriateness for lighting in
the Monticello Visitor Center Parking lot. I have the following comments:
1. It appears that SDP-2005-81 was a Preliminary Site Plan. A preliminary site plan cannot be amended. So, your
request is for a letter of revision to SDP-2008-06 (which was a minor amendment to SDP-2006-09).
2. Please note the following information on the plan: overall pole/fixture height and pole/fixture color.
3. Please note on the plan the light loss factor (maintenance factor) used for calculating the photometrics. To meet
ordinance requirements, the LLF must equal 1.0. If 1.0 was not used, please revise the photometric plan
accordingly.
4. Add the standard lighting note to the plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3, 000 or more
initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from
adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public
roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-halffootcandle.
5. Please show on the plan the lot line that runs close to the parking lot on the east side of the property. Show light
levels out to the property line and ensure that illumination does not exceed .5 fc at the property line.
6. Include a note on the drawing stating that no trees will damaged or removed as a result of the lighting.
Please forward me 2 copies of revised plans addressing these comments at your earliest convenience. If you have questions,
feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Chief of Planning/Resource Management
