RE: Response Letter #3 for SDP2020-52 Regents School of Charlottesville
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Regents School of Charlottesville. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated May 12, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
Cut sheets for the sports lights were added to the plan, but the diagrams do not show the lamps relative to
the housing, so they do not show that the fixtures are full cutoff fixtures.
1. Include cut sheets in the plan that show that the sports lights are full cutoff fixtures.
RESPONSE: Please refer to sheet C 19. The cut sheets show the upper housing around the
proposed sports lights models, which will hold the lighting under this housing. Additionally,
color renders provided by the manufacturer are now included on C 19 to clarify how the sports
lights are full cutoff fixtures, showing the bulbs clearly positioned under the housing. The
manufacturer has also provided that the same light fixtures were utilized at Claudius Crozet Park,
Miller School, and Monticello High School, all of which demonstrate hill cutoff lighting.
2. Add a note to the lighting plan stating that the sports lights will be installed to achieve full cutoff
lighting.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see sheet C 17 for the note ensuring that sports lights will
be full cutoff.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
