RE: SDP 2008 00006 Letter of Revision 43
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation (the Foundation) seeks a Letter of Revision to "The Thomas Jefferson
Visitor's Center and Smith History Center" site plan. The purpose of this revision is to install two (2)
security gates along the primary internal travel way to allow for greater security and access control for
Monticello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, National Historic Landmark, and a popular historic site
that attracts around 400,000 visitors every year.
Monticello Loop is the only road leading to and from the historic mountaintop. An existing automated
lift arm near the Visitor Center requires a key card or remote control for access. The simple gate is
inadequate as it does not cross the width of the road and will not stop a vehicle determined to break
through it. A 2018 Threat Assessment of the estate recommended that this gate be upgraded to prevent a
trespasser in a vehicle from forcing their way up to the mountaintop. Additionally, a second crash -proof
gate was recommended along the Loop Road to prevent unauthorized ingress up the normally one-way
exit side of Monticello Loop.
Exhibit 1 (attached) shows the approximate locations of two proposed crash -proof gates, in keeping with
recommendations from the security consultant. Cut sheets for the gate, "Strong Arm M30," are also
attached (Exhibit 2). The gate meets ASTM F2656-07 M30-P1 and is certified to stop a 15,000 lb. truck
traveling 30 mph.
The scope of work required for installing Gate # 1, located near the Visitor Center on TMP 78-22, are
overlaid on three pages from SDP 2008 00006 (Exhibits 3 and 4). The gate is to be installed in the same
general location as the existing security gate on Monticello Loop. Because proposed Gate # 1 requires a
level road surface, minor regrading of the asphalt road surface is necessary. A disturbance area of
—4,691 SF and removal of 3-4 trees is required for new road grade to evenly join the surrounding
topography. Cylindrical concrete bollards will be installed to prevent vehicles from driving around the
gate.
Proposed Gate #2 is located on Monticello Loop's descent, as indicated on Exhibit 5. No grading is
necessary at this site and utilities will be directionally bored.
The Foundation has had preliminary conversations with Albemarle Fire and Rescue regarding this
project and will work closely with Fire and Rescue to ensure access for these critical responders.
Enclosed with this letter please find the following:
