RE: ARB-2017-119: Western Albemarle High School Tier III PWSF
Dear Ms. Schweller,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on January 8, 2018, reviewed the above noted petition
to construct a 145'-tall steel monopole with associated equipment. Special exceptions have been requested to allow more
than three (3) arrays, to allow mounting equipment to exceed the maximum standoffdistance, and to allow disturbance of
critical slopes onsite. The ARB took the following actions:
Regarding_the ground equipment, and base station
The Board, by a vote of 4:0, approved the application as proposed.
_Regarding the visibility of the monopole
The Board, by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the agent:
As viewed from the Entrance Corridor (EC), screening of the monopole is provided primarily by off -site trees
outside of the control of the School Board. Should that off -site wooded area adjacent to the Rt. 250 EC be lost, the
view of the monopole from the EC is expected to increase dramatically. Consequently, the facility is not being sited
to minimize its visibility, particularly if visual impacts are to be resolved on site. Visibility of the pole from the EC
adjacent to the school property can be reduced with the addition of evergreen trees in the lawn area adjacent to the
chain link fence and the retention of existing trees (and replacement of trees that die) in this area. Consider a color
other than Java Brown to further minimize the visibility of the pole.
You may consider this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness for the ground equipment and base station. 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. Mechanical equipment shall not be visible from the Entrance Corridor.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Chief of PIanning/Resource Management
