Dear Scott,
At its meeting on Monday, October 1, 2018, the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board
unanimously voted to forward the following recommendations on the above -noted Initial Site
Development Plan to the agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2),(3) and (5) and
recommended conditions of initial plan approval: None.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None.

elevations to confirm the lack of visibility from the EC.

provide a consistent screen along the parking lot.

6. Provide perimeter parking lot and interior parking lot trees as outlined in the EC guidelines.
Revise the plan to clearly show this planting for both the current and future parking areas.

S. Coordinate the number of cherry trees and holly shown on the plan and listed in the legend.
9. Throughout the plan set indicate a single, accurate building area for the proposed addition.
10. Identify existing trees to be removed on the existing conditions/demolition plan.
11. If approval of the future parking area is desired with the current site plan, revise the plan to
show all details for the future parking area.
