RE: Response Letter #3 for SDP2021-00022 Albemarle Business Campus: Block 5
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Albemarle Business Campus: Block 5. This letter
contains responses to County comments dated June 30, 2021. Our responses are as follows:
32.7.9.9b requires planting islands to have a minimum of 50 sf per tree, with a minimum
dimension of five feet, and barriers to prevent damage by vehicles. The islands at the angled
parking spaces do not appear to meet the 50-sf requirement. Please revise the design to meet the
requirements. Provide a detail of the planting island showing dimensions and total area, and tree
placement that avoids damage by vehicles. Ensure that the mature size of the tree species chosen
for the planting islands is suited to the close proximity to the building.
RESPONSE: Thank you for continuing to work with us on the landscaping for this future road. I
have attached email correspondence to this response letter regarding this comment and believe
this comment is now resolved. Dimensions are now included on the site plan for clarity.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
Keane@shimp-en ine eering com or by phone at 434-227-5140.
Regards,
Keane Rucker
