It'll all be the same stone. Hope that helps On Dec 27, 2018, at 4:34 PM, Margaret Maliszewski<MMaliszewski@albemarle.org>wrote: Good afternoon, Dave. Regarding#3:The drawings show a sign base of field stone and decorative stone walls. I was trying to get confirmation that the field stone bases and the decorative stone walls were intended to have a similar appearance to the stonework of the Shenandoah Park signs, so that I could forgo a physical sample. Can you confirm that this is the intent? Thanks.

I've prepared the response to your questions in two parts.The first is samples and clarifications that were dropped off at the Development Counter this afternoon. In this I provided the Nichiha Cedar sample.The attached transmittal letter was also left,which clarified the color of aluminum cut out letters as detailed by Gropen. Below is a complete summary of response and I've also attached the updated Photometric plans as requested: 1.Sample of Vintage Wood Nichiha product"Cedar"was dropped off at Community Development.This product will be encased within a metal frame for weather protection as depicted on the detailed plans. 2. Cut out letters are to be"Brushed Natural Aluminum,with Satin Clear Coat" (no sample required). 3. In regards to the imagery,these two materials are intended to simulate the design inspiration from the Shenandoah National Park stonework.The design image submitted with the application was to demonstrate this inspiration as a way of paying respect and to build upon a more contemporary interpretation as we described in our zoning application. 4 No actual calculations were changed. The footcandles and photometric schedule were just checked with the 302 lumens input. 5 Notes removed. The photometrics for the street lights are calculated at ground level. Please let me know if you need any additional information. If you can also let me know next steps as we would like to begin the fabrication of the sign due to the extent of time it takes to complete.

A note on the street light photometric plans states that footcandles were calculated at 3.5' above grade, and that all lights will be bronze anodized." These notes make sense for the ground-mounted sign lights, but not for the street lights. Illumination of the street lights must be calculated at ground level, and the street light cut sheets indicate that black is the proposed finish. Please remove the notes from the street light sheets and ensure that the street light photometrics are calculated at ground level. 406 L' ! ��7'I.C.� ,jam /�'�'� 7k1..49-4 .."1-6--r2-2/r112/ .

Materials have been identified on the sign drawing, but colors have not. Please update the sign drawing (Sheet A.1) to identify the proposed sign colors. 2. Color/material samples have not been provided. Please submit them for review. 3. The color/finish of the ground -mounted light fixture has not been identified. Please update the cut sheet and/or sign drawings to indicate the color/finish for the ground -mounted sign lights. 4. The maximum lumens emitted by the ground -mounted fixtures is not indicated in the submittal. An on-line chat with the light manufacturer indicated that the lamp emits 302 lumens. If your understanding is otherwise, please contact me. 5. Much of the information on the submitted drawings is too small to read, including the photometric values. Please provide the drawings at a size that is scale -able and legible. 6. Clearly identify the property lines on both photometric plans. 7. On the photometric plan that identifies the street light locations, add information to clarify the location of the illustrated street segment. (Is that the north end of the median at the Rt. 250 entrance in the lower right corner?) 8. On the landscape plan, show that existing wooded areas are not impacted by the proposed development.
