Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Albemarle Business Campus: Block 1. This letter
contains responses to County comments dated September 9, 2021. Our responses are as follows:
1. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the site and architectural plans.
RESPONSE: This note is provided under General Notes on the cover sheet and has been added to
C6 Site Plan sheet.
2. Add the cuts sheets for the proposed light fixtures to the lighting plan.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the cut sheets on the lighting plan.
3. Consider revising the landscape plan to include a minimum of 5 different shrub species.
RESPONSE: Comment received. A mixture of evergreen and deciduous shrubs is now provided
on the landscape plan.
4. Provide large shade trees, 2'h" caliper at planting, 40' on center, along Old Lynchburg Road.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the revised landscape plan.
5. Provide perimeter parking lot trees, 40' on center, 2'/z" caliper at planting along the northeast
corner of the parking lot.
RESPONSE: Due to the presence of a large utility easement for storm and sanitary, a double -
staggered row of evergreen shrubs is provided along this parking edge.
6. The final site plan may be reviewed by staff due to the distance from EC street, mitigating
visibility and appropriate architectural concept drawings.
RESPONSE: Comment received.
