RE: SDP-2016-58 Daly's Rent All
DATE: September 26, 2018
I have reviewed the plan with revision date of 9/13/18 and have the following comments:
This site falls within the Rt. 29 Entrance Corridor and the proposed building is expected to have
a minimal degree of visibility from the corridor. Because the new building will be located behind
a building that fronts on the corridor, the proposal is eligible for staff -level ARB review. Please
submit an ARB application for a County -wide Certificate of Appropriateness (check the box for
"Structures located behind...") and provide the items listed in the corresponding checklist.
Applications and checklists can be found at www.albemarle.org/arb. Approval of the County-
wide Certificate of Appropriateness, including both site and architectural changes, is
required prior to approval of the final site plan. Note that building and roof color will be an
important consideration in the review.
Note the following items regarding the site plan.
1. Visibility of all equipment from Rt. 29 must be eliminated.
a. A note on C201 within the footprint of the proposed building states that equipment shall
be screened to prevent visibility form Rt. 20, and equipment is illustrated behind the
proposed building. No screening details have been provided. If rooftop equipment is
proposed, the design of the screening will be extremely important. Screening must have an
integrated appearance with the building.
b. Revise the equipment screening note to read: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from
the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
2. To meet Entrance Corridor requirements, light levels should not exceed 20 fc. Please revise the
plan accordingly.
The applicant is encouraged to submit the ARB application referenced above as soon as
possible to avoid delays in site plan and building permit approval.
