Let me know if you need anything additional.Thanks for your assistance with this project. Regards, 004 Bill 804-514-7893 SIGNS 3 Heather McMahon From: Heather McMahon Sent: Wednesday,July 11, 2018 2:31 PM To: 'Jen Adams' Subject: RE: Signage permit for McDonald's at 3287 Worth Crossing, Charlottesville,VA Attachments: ARB2018-85 cw cofa requested changes.pdf Hi Jennifer, I just finished reviewing your revised lighting application.As per my last letter to you,the photometric values must be calculated with a maintenance factor(LLF) equal to 1.0.Your lighting contractor calculated them at 0.87.The attached letter asks you to revise and resubmit a photometric plan in which the LLF is equal to 1.0. If, when I review a revised photometric plan, I find that all of the footcandle values are less than 20 fc,then your lighting application will be approvable. In regards to the LOR and to the ARB sign permit(both), my point about the landscaped area is that no plants are proposed as far as I can tell—just mulch. If you read the Design Guidelines or the Sign Guidelines about landscaping, it says that monument(freestanding) signs and accessory structures should be integrated with the site/building through landscaping.As far as I could ascertain from the drawings submitted,you all are proposing a new landscape area out of what is currently an asphalt drive lane with no plantings. We require plantings. Furthermore,an aerial view of the site suggests that the currently landscaped area closer to the building may not have all of the landscaping in it that was approved in 1995. Please ensure that what is on the ground corresponds with what has been approved; if you would like to amend the landscaping in that area,you can use this LOR opportunity to do so. In regard to the springboard canopy footprint on C4: a hatched footprint where the springboard canopy(demarcated as (1) on the plan) is to be placed is measured at the scale provided (where 1" =20') as 6 feet wide by 9.5 feet long (I cannot measure height on a plan drawing); no written dimensions are provided on C4. However,the detail on C10 says that the model you are choosing is 3.5 feet wide.This is inconsistent. Either the footprint on C4 needs to be changed to show a 3.5-foot x 9.5-foot canopy OR the detail on C10 needs to be adjusted to show a model that is 6 feet wide. In other words, they don't match and they need to match. There is a downward LED light on the springboard canopy.That's the addition of a site light. It needs to be included in the lighting plan, which means the revised photometric plan I asked for in the first paragraph should be taking this additional site lighting into account. There is a larger issue here,which is that the ARB staff finds the addition of the Welcome Gateway structure and the Canopy structure inappropriate for the EC and has asked for alternatives. If you would like to discuss this point further, please telephone me. I'm here until 5:30 today.

I provided him with the attached plan that should suffice comment#3.Sheet 2—Site Key Notes discusses the existing landscape area.This was also included in the LOR submission. Based on our previous correspondence we obtained a photometric plans for the replacement of lighting. Perimeter lighting is not being changed. Regarding the LOR comments—I do not see a dimension on sheet C4 of the site plan for the Springboard Canopy,the Springboard canopy measures 9'3" (w)x 11'5" (h)which matches the dimensions on sheet C10.

It would mean your site plan would not be in compliance with what is on the ground if any Code Compliance Officers were to inspect the property and check its conformance with what was approved for that site. I'm sorry that was not explained to you, especially since the same requested changes at the McDonald's in Shoppers World (Rt. 29)and at Stony Point Road (Rt. 20) and Rt. 250 did trigger LORs. In other words,you should have been told that the same applications would be needed as these other franchises. I have scanned and attached two sheets from the original (1995) site plan and attached them to this email for your convenience. The LOR typically takes 10 days to review as soon as it is assigned to a lead planner(which is not the same day you submit it, but typically only a few days afterwards—so, a couple of weeks).That is predicated, however, on the assumption that the application is complete and has all of the requested information and supporting materials included and that the fee is paid upon submittal.The application and fee should be submitted to the County's intake staff. Thank you for the photometric attachment in regard to the lighting application; I will print it out and add it to the file.

As for the sign application,you have to submit one application per sign type, but you can put multiple (up to three) signs of one type into one application. So,for instance,you can submit one application for two or three wall signs but you must submit a separate application for a monument sign (or up to three monument signs). The menu board does constitute a freestanding sign,yes. The fees are per review or application, not per sign; so, if you have one application for three wall signs,the fee is$91.45 plus electrical (if you are proposing internal or external illumination), not 3 x$91.45.The same goes for the monument sign (the fee for review of that sign type plus electrical if you are proposing internal or external illumination). Further questions about the application and fees should be directed to in-take staff, such as Jen Smith,when you submit the application (they will check for fees).

For complete information go to: www.albemarle.org. • Light should be contained on the site, should not spill over onto adjacent properties or streets, and should be shielded, recessed or flush -mounted to eliminate glare. Planting may be required to reduce impacts of glare. • Fixtures and poles should have a dark brown, dark bronze or black finish. Other dark colors, if coordinated with the building (for example, hunter green), may be approved. • Pole height shall be compatible with building height. Typically, height shall not exceed 20'. 15' is appropriate for most uses. • Height and intensity of rooftop lights shall be minimized to the greatest extent possible. Light shall not spill outside the walls of the structure. • Special restrictions (for example, the use of dimmers for night-time illumination) may be applied to LED lighting to ensure that the intensity of the illumination is maintained at appropriate levels. • Additional restrictions apply to lighting intended for decorative effect. • Consult the Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines for more information.
