Re: LOR#1 to SDP1980-53 — Madison Office Park Pump Station Replacement Project — Resubmittal #2
Dear Mr. Perez:
Whitman Requardt and Associates (WRA) is pleased to provide revised plans for Madison Office Park Pump
Station Replacement Project to the Albemarle County Department of Community Development for review
and comment. The electronic submittal includes this (1) Comment Response Letter and a (2) partial plan
set.
Since WRA's last submission to Community Development, we would like to notify you of a change to the
building roof. The roof type has been changed to a standing seam metal roof. Please refer to the
Architectural Plans for revised elevations view and details. Additionally, WRA offers the following summary
and responses to the review comments issued on October 20, 2020. To assist in the review of the
resubmittal, the comments are summarized below in italic text.
ARB Comments:
Comment 1: Revise the wall material note on A3 to indicate the embossed brick color. Among the
acceptable options are, ".... to match the red brick of the main building on site" or "...to
match XYZ (paint manufacturer name) color #abc" (with color swatch provided).
Response: WRA added a note to the building elevations saying the brick stain should match the red
brick of the main building on the site.
Comment 2: A3 was revised to show wall -mounted light fixtures. The corresponding notes indicate that
they emit 3, 000 lumens or more. Consequently, they must be full cutoff fixtures. Include the
manufacturer's cut sheet on the plan showing that the fixtures are full cutoff fixtures."
Response: The fixture is a medium cutoff fixture and the fixture has been updated to select a lumen
package closer to 3,000 to provide additional distribution cutoff. The manufacturer's cut
sheet has been added to the drawing on E-2.
Comment 3: Two Betula Petula trees have been proposed 6-10' from the relocated overhead line. These
trees can grow 30-40' high and 15-30' wide and, so, will likely conflict with the new line. Shift
the trees further away from the line to avoid the conflict. Remove the note on C3 that delays
coordination.
Response: The new power pole and overhead power service line have been shown on C-3 based on
WRA's communication and service coordination with Dominion. The trees have been shifted
away from the new overhead power service line.

Property Owner Coordination and Roof Material Change
The ACSA has had coordinated easement acquisitions and design elements for the pump station
replacement with the property owner. The property owner has requested that the roof of the new pump
station be revised to show a standing seam metal roof, with the color to match the existing metal roof on the
existing pump station. WRA has modified Sheets A-2, A-3, and A-4 to reflect the requested roof material
change.
WRA looks forward to receiving the review and approval on this site plan submission. Thank you for your
cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Whitman, Requardt & Associates, LLP
