The recommendations are meant to be utilized as a design strategy to build a safer environment for the citizens of the County of Albemarle. Advisory Landscaping Recommendations • All shrubbery and ornamental grasses used in foundation planting areas should follow the CPTED two foot six foot rule. Shrubs should be no taller than two feet in front of building windows. Tree crowns in common areas, near buildings, and along pedestrian walkways should be pruned no less than six feet from ground level to maximize surveillance opportunities. Shrubbery should always remain below the window line so natural surveillance is not hindered from the building interior out onto property grounds. • All shrubs, grasses, and ornamental flowering trees should be planted no less than four to six feet from pedestrian walkways to eliminate concealment and ambush opportunities. • The existing dense vegetation, and any proposed site landscape plantings should be pruned or planted at least four to six feet away from all parking space areas. Areas to take into consideration are the proposed eight reinforced grass parking spaces and the ten permeable grass paver spaces. Special attention should be placed on all vegetation bordering outlying parking spaces that offer a potential ambush opportunity. • Light poles should not be placed where the growth of tree crowns will obscure the illumination of the site. Future tree growth should be considered in all security lighting plans and installation. • Landscape material, in conjunction with signage, should be used as a wayfmding system to guide all users to the main entrance of the facility. Advisory Lighting Recommendations .• All lighting should be within the IESNA guidelines for minimum security lighting standards for parking lots. • It is advised that the parking area be illuminated to a minimum,3.0 fc horizontal on pavement and a minimum of .5 fc to .8 fc vertical 5' above ground. • All lighting on site should be at a 4:1 average to minimum ratio (background to face), and designed to limit light trespass and glare. • All lighting on site should be sufficient to allow facial recognition at thirty feet. Security lighting should be no less than .5 fc to .8 fc vertical 5' above ground. Thirty feet is the minimum for reaction time to determine if the person is friendly or hostile. • It is advised that the lighting sources in the parking area be pedestrian scale to eliminate shadowing between vehicles and potential light pollution in the rural area. • Illumination should fall throughout the parking area, along pedestrian walkways, along the building edge, and 'building entrances. • All lighting should be uniform, should not create shadowing, or sharp contrasts for concealment. The lighting on site should not create a transient adaptiomvisual environment where the eye has to adapt to different light levels, low to high, high to low, during short intervals of time. • All lighting sources should be HID Metal Halide or LED luminaires equipped with break resistant polycarbonate lenses. • Proper lighting design should stimulate normal users and observers to scrutinize anyone not in proper areas. • The lighting environment should create a greater perception of risk in the abnormal user accessing inappropriate areas on facility grounds. • Security lighting in the parking lot will alleviate the potential for premises liability lawsuits involving injuries from unseen hazards or criminal activity. Advisory Natural Access Control • No trespassing signs displaying facility operational hours should be placed at the Ivy Road and Birdway Drive roadway entrances. • A precise wayfmding system utilizing directional signage should be put in place along access roads and in the parking area to guide users to the main entrance facility the facility. • All users should be directed to one main entrance to increase the Natural Surveillance of normal users and increase the perception in abnormal users they will be easily observed and apprehended. Advisory Territorial Recommendations • All sidewalks and entranceways should be constructed with textured and colored concrete or pavers which demonstrates territorial reinforcement and- adds to the development of a celebrated entryway. and delineates movement from semi - private to private space. • Property boundaries should be delineated by dwarf . variety shrubbery to demonstrate territoriality and define . transition zones. The use of dwarf shrubbery will eliminate potential concealment and ambush opportunities along the boundaries of the site.

The connection of Birdwood Drive to Route 250 is not adequate as a commercial entrance. The proposed golf facility should not have access to Birdwood Drive as shown on the proposed site plan. Rather, all trips to the facility should be via the primary access shown on the site plan which is Golf Course Drive.
