RE: ARB-2018-108: Avinity Estates, Final Site Plan
Dear Scott,
I have reviewed the final site plan and elevations submitted for the above referenced project with original drawing date of
5/6/2018 and latest revision date of 10/25/2018. The changes made in these plans and elevations address the conditions of
approval outlined at the ARB meeting held on 9/4/2018. You may consider this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness.
This approval is specifically conditioned on the following:
1. Execution of the design indicated on the final approved plans, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal
items presented.
2. Visibility of all mechanical equipment shall be eliminated from the Entrance Corridor.
Please note the following:
1. Any changes in the approved design will require a new application and additional review.
2. Changes made to the site or architectural plans after issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness can delay the
signing of final site plans and the approval of building permits. It is in the applicant's best interest to notify ARB
staff of such changes and to initiate the review of amendments to ARB-approved plans to avoid future delays.
3. Certificates of Appropriateness are valid for the same period that the corresponding site plan is valid. If there
is no site plan required for the proposed work, the Certificate of Appropriateness is valid for 3 years.
Applicants requesting an extension of the period of validity must do so in writing. The letter must be
received by the Director of Planning prior to the expiration date.
If you have any questions concerning this action, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Heather McMahon, Senior Planner
