RE: ARB-2019-23: Harbor Freight Tools (TM/Parcel 04500000011000)
Dear Mr. Rizo,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on April 15, 2019, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request to renovate the west end of the north facade of the building at 440 Gander
Drive to establish a new storefront and entrance for Harbor Freight Tools retailers. The Board offered the
following comments for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following comments
are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on
further review and changes to the plan.
1. Provide complete, dimensioned, and to -scale at 1/8" = F-0" scale elevations of the north facade
and west side elevation.
2. Reduce the width of the piers supporting the front -gable roof to achieve a less imbalanced
composition. The drawings submitted by the applicant at 4-15-19 ARB meeting met this request.
3. Revise the storefront design to create a pediment form that is distinguished from the wall plane in
its use of a different material.
4. Note that a separate sign application is required for the illustrated wall sign.
5. Revise the elevation drawing and color legend to show the approved brand and color for all
standing seam metal proposed (MTL-1 and MTL-2).
6. Match the existing roof color.
7. Provide the standard window glass note on the architectural elevations: Visible light transmittance
(VLT) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
8. Provide manufacturer specifications for the proposed storefront system. Ensure that the
specifications are for the same window brand and color previously approved.
9. Provide a roof plan showing the locations and dimensions of any proposed rooftop mechanical
equipment. Provide a site plan showing the locations of any proposed ground -mounted mechanical
equipment.
10. Provide the standard mechanical equipment note on the architectural elevations: Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
11. Provide manufacturer cut sheets illustrating proposed lighting fixtures and information on
illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color, finish, and installation height. Provide either
photometric diagrams or a photometric plan addressing all fixtures and indicating that lighting
does meet the requirements of Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance for all proposed wall -
mounted light fixtures.
12. Provide the standard lighting note on the architectural elevations: Each outdoor luminaire
equipped with a lamp that emits 3, 000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and
shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away
from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in
residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle.
13. The use of the white color as illustrated in the 4-12-19 drawing submitted to the 4-15-19 ARB
meeting is not appropriate.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms,
checklists and schedules are available on-line at www.albemarle.org/ARB.
