Included with this transmittal letter are the outstanding items necessary to conduct your review. Please find a site plan, VSMP Plan, and written description of the proposed work. This ARB application is required to complete the review of a major site plan amendment for the site development proposal. The landscape sheet shows the limits of disturbance to show the landscape design previously approved for the front of the site adjacent to Route 250 will not be altered. Therefore, some of the requested items on the landscape plan checklist, such as the signed tree conservation checklist, are not included with this submittal since the landscape design adjacent to the EC is not slated to be altered. It is our understanding an additional ARB review is required because the design of the proposed structures is changing therefore updated materials have been provided to aid the ARB in their evaluation of how the buildings will interface with the Route 250 Entrance Corridor. Thank you for your review of this application. If you require additional materials to complete your review please let me know.

A of the ARB Checklist: A. (1)The site development proposal on TMP 78-49A, a property with a physical address of 2300 Hunter's Way, is for one two-story retail building with a basement and for one one- story drive-thru. The retail building will have a 2,600 SF footprint and the drive through will have a 520 SF footprint. The proposed site design features relegated parking. There are three existing buildings on the site, with two of the buildings fronting on Route 250 West, a designated Entrance Corridor. The two buildings at the front of the site will be demolished to allow for construction of the proposed buildings. (2) The project proposal will establish a design standard along the Route 250 corridor, just east of town that is consistent with recommendations outlined for Entrance Corridors by providing sufficient on-site landscape design and by proposing buildings that are not inconsistent in scale and general shape with existing structures. This portion of the Route 250 Entrance Corridor is not as developed as other entrance corridors in Albemarle County and so this development offers the opportunity to establish site design, landscape, and aesthetic standards for the area. The clean edges of the proposed buildings provide a modern feel that is not inconsistent with the clean edges of the existing late-century commercial/retail buildings near the proposed buildings. The stone finishes and fiber cement siding provide a natural aesthetic to the design that appropriately compliments and adequately softens the clean lines of the proposed structures.
