RE: Response Letter #2 for ARB2021-00092 I SDP2021-00065 Albemarle Business Campus: Block 1
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 January 7, 2022. Our responses are as follows:
1. Revise the lighting schedule to indicate total lumens emitted by the bollard fixtures.
RESPONSE: Total lumens emitted by the bollard fixtures are provided on the spec sheet on the
lighting plan. The dome top bollards would emit approximately 1,200 lumens. These same
fixtures were proposed in the Block 5 self -storage across Old Lynchburg Road, to light the trail in
the rear.
2. Revise the plan to include all symbols used in the landscape plan in the plant schedule.
RESPONSE: Comment received. To clarify the landscape plan, most of the shrub symbols were
replaced with symbols that include their botanical name. Additionally, any similar tree symbols
now have a label.
3. Revise the plan to avoid conflicts between trees provided along Old Lynchburg, Country Green
and Mountainwood Roads and utilities/easements.
RESPONSE: Comment received. The utilities in question were a proposed underground
telephone line, which is no longer proposed. The underground line meets an existing pole on
Country Green Road, which then crosses overhead and no longer needs to continue around the
perimeter of the site. Trees have been adjusted to move behind the sidewalk in other areas where
there may be potential conflicts.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
