RE: ARB-2019-38: 6181 Rockfish Gap Office Expansion, Major Site Plan Amendment
(TM/Parcel 055000000109A0)
Dear Mr. O'Donohue,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting
on Monday, May 6, 2019. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff
administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Provide material/color samples for review.
2. Consider adding architectural features to the roof to vary the profile and mitigate large
blank expanses of roof cladding.
3. Include the standard window glass note on architectural elevations: Visible light
transmittance (VL7) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not
exceed 30%.
4. Provide evergreen shrubs to the northwest corner of the dumpster enclosure to further
integrate it into the site.
5. If ground -mounted mechanical equipment is proposed, show it on the site plan. If roof -
mounted mechanical equipment is proposed, provide a roof plan for review.
6. Ensure that all existing and proposed overhead and underground utilities and their
easements are shown consistently throughout the site plan set.
7. Provide shrubs, possibly supplemented with groundcover and/or grasses, along the full
frontage of the EC, including along the north side of the basin, to integrate Basin A into
the development.
8. Provide a lighting plan that shows all proposed wall -mounted and ground lighting and
includes photometric values, a luminaire schedule, and manufacturer's cut sheets.
Correlate the placement of and show the proposed wall -mounted lights on the building
elevations.
9. Provide the height of the overhead power line on the north property line. Ensure that the
choice of trees planted in the northeast property line will not conflict with the overhead
line when grown to maturity.
10. Revise the plant schedule to show the planting height for the EC frontage street trees at
3.5" caliper.
11. Provide additional perimeter trees to the parking area, especially the northwest and
northeast corners.
12. Provide shrubs or other plantings along the front of the building.
13. Consider substituting native species for the non-native species proposed. Substitute a
native species for the invasive Nandina domestica.
14. Ensure that no one tree or shrub species exceeds the 25% threshold for the total number
of trees or shrubs on the site.
15. Note that any trees that are damaged or killed by grading or construction activities or by
other means must be replaced.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated
ARB revision dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If
changes other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the
memo also. Highlighting the changes in the drawing with "clouding' or by other means will
facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached `Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your
revisions to ensure proper tracking and distribution.
