RE: Response Letter #1 for SDP2021-22 Albemarle Business Campus Block 5 — Final Site Plan
Dear Howard,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Albemarle Business Campus. This letter contains
responses to Fire -Rescue comments dated March 3, 2020. Our responses are as follows:
1. Clarify turning radius (needs to be at least 25 ft) at entrance on West side of Project (Old
Lynchburg/Country Green Ln. Side).
RESPONSE: We revised the radii here to be minimum 50'.
2. Clarify distance from hydrant to FDC on southwest portion of plan.
RESPONSE: distance from FDC has been added to Sheet C6.
3. Provide a note on plan of the ISO fire flow calculation for the building.
RESPONSE: ISO fire flow calcs have been added to Sheet C6.
4. Do not see any hydrants on the east side or north side of the development. Spacing needs to
be in accordance with the required fire flow, but no less than 500 ft spacing and arranged so
no building is more than 250 feet from a hydrant.
RESPONSE: hydrant placement has been revised to comply with the 500' spacing by moving
a hydrant to the northeast portion of the travelway. Please note that as the development is
built out, additional hydrants will be added to comply with FDC spacing requirements, but
for now we have enough to comply with the spacing requirements.
5. Turning radius at dynamic transport plaza needs to be 25 ft.
RESPONSE: these radii have been revised to be 25'.
6. Clarify turning radius at entrance on east side of project, 25 ft required.
RESPONSE: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Hydrant spacing has been revised.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
