Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 434-296-5832 x3278 hmcmahon@albemarle.org From: Heather McMahon Sent: Thursday, April 18, 201911:31 AM To: Dustin Greene <DGreene@roudabush.com> 1 Cc: Mariah Gleason <mgleason@albemarle.org> Subject: RE: ARB-2019-32: Dogtopia - Rivanna Plaza County -wide CoA Hello Dustin, The action letter following Monday's ARB meeting has not been finalized to send to you yet, but I wanted to send you the action memo (attached). On Monday, I asked the ARB for guidance about the landscaping; they agreed that your present configuration of a single row of small trees and shrubs suffices, but that evergreen species should be substituted for the deciduous species you are proposing. As for the comment letter I sent you on 4/11(see attached), please disregard numbers 3 and 7, although in the latter (number 7), 1 still encourage you to promote native species local to this region where possible.

As I stated, I am happy to take this concern to the ARB on Monday, April 15 and seek the board's guidance as to whether your present landscape configuration and proposed species complies with that request; there is no need for the applicant to be present, but it is a public meeting, so all are welcome. In addition, !'m supplying a link to the podcest of that ARB meeting he!d February 19, 2019 (the meeting minutes are derived from this, by transcript, but have not been prepared by our departmental planning assistant yet). If you can point me to the minute(s) in the conversation where the ARB stated that the landscape shown at that meeting met ARB standards for vegetative screening, please let me know. I'll be happy to review it and reassess my comments. Thanks, Heather McMahon, Senior Planner.

Changes are requested (see attached letter). Furthermore, revised architectural elevations of the building and fence are required for review (see attached letter as well as action letter from the Dogtopia SP board review in February 19, 2019, also attached). Please let me know if you have questions.

I received your ARB application on March 26. Administratively reviewed applications are given two weeks until review comments are due. You will receive review comments from me by April 9. It is atypical for a first submission to not require revisions; therefore, do not expect approval within two weeks —just review comments and (likely) requested changes to your submission.

Please contact the brand (TREX) and ask for material samples, which will need to be submitted to me for review. You can either take photos of the samples next to the building, or I can take them out there myself once I have them in hand. The color -fastness of the two colors is an added complication. Perhaps the TREX company also has samples of what the colors fade to after a few years? If they do, ask them for samples of those as well, please. If not, we'll have to do our best to gauge that. If you can find out where this material has been used in the area, it's possible that staff can drive out there to see the material in situ, as well. In addition to the LOR, you will also have to submit an ARB County -wide Certificate of Appropriateness application for Equipment, Fencing, or Lighting, as per comment number 2 in the action letter following the January 7, 2019 ARB meeting (see attached). The LOR will not be approved by ARB staff reviewers prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Appropriateness. Please refer to the checklists of submittal requirements for lighting and fencing when preparing your application packages. Please note that in addition to the submittal requirements specified in these checklists, the ARB also asked for a grading plan for review (comment 3 in the action letter dated 1/11/19, attached). Please let me know if you have additional questions about the review processes and what was requested following the ARB meeting on 1/7/19 and the work session held on 2/19/19.

I am uncertain that this fence material is durable and colorfast over time as you can see from the faded jpg's above. Please review and let me know if the saddle or woodland brown colors would be acceptable. If not, we will need to pick another company. This is my last, outstanding comment so please let me know as soon as reasonably possible. Best Regards, 1KXA u WLtW1.
