The following are responses to Commentary provided by Albemarle County in ARB Letter
dtd. 9.12.16 (addressed to Williams Mullen):
1 Material &Color samples include
a. MTLC SMX SLVR metal paneling by Alpolic substituted for the original Hairline
Aluminum rejected by ARB This new silver panel is less reflective than the Hairline
b Stone Paneling by Ciot color`Pietra Serena' to replace Hairline Aluminum metal
paneling at Entry Element.
c. Paint color to be `Flagstone' by PPG1001-4.
d Brick`Smoke Grey' by General Shale to replace majority of ribbed metal paneling from
original submission
e 7.2 Ribbed Metal: Colorweld 500 Slate Grey by Alcoa is only used as accent feature
above windows and behind Entry Element. BRW has included photographs of precedent
projects where this material has been used in similar locations and illustrates more of
decorative function and less utilitarian appearance
2. Metal Paneling used in conjunction with more traditional materials In new revised design, brick
has been substituted for a majority(more than 90%) of the ribbed metal paneling The entire new
drive through addition has been revised from metal to a brick as has the North Elevation wall
Stone Paneling has replaced all of the Metal Paneling at the front Entry Element.
3 Reduce Hairline Aluminum:All Hairline Aluminum has been replaced with the MTLC SMX SLVR
metal paneling Also as stated in#2 a good deal of this paneling has been eliminated by using
stone at the front Entry Element.
4 Design of Entrance Element to integrate more fully into overall design. Entry element design has
been revised to be more in proportion to the rest of the building front. The brick wing walls on
either side create a transition between the height of the Entry Element and main parapet height.
Thus,the entry doesn't appear to contrast with the building Also The location of front wall of the
Entry is closer to the rest of the building front thereby alleviating the problem of it looking 'too much
like a billboard `, a comment from the previous ARB Hearing The new stone and brick materials
helps tie it into the local vernacular
5 Glass. See Submitted Glass Sample Note ' VLT shall not drop below 40%and VLR to not exceed
30%' added to drawings
6 Mechanical Equipment: New Mechanical equipment to remain in the same location as existing—
behind the front building on an elevated and screened platform not visible from the Entrance
Corridor
7 See Site Plan
le8 Regarding the comment about adding shrubs along the building front—owner asks that these be
deleted due to the fact that planters so close to windows create a maintenance issue with dirt on
glazing

RE: ARB201600090 Malloy Ford Auto Dealership
Dear Ms. Long,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 6, 2016, completed a
preliminary review of the above-noted request to renovate an existing building supply store and warehouse
into an auto dealership showroom with sales, parts and service offices and auto repair space. 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 for review. larger metal samples, less reflective options for the hairline aluminum
decorative metal panel, darker color options for the paint, and samples of replacement materials
for the ribbed and corrugated metals with less of a utilitarian appearance
2. Revise the design to use the metal panels in conjunction with a more traditional material
3. Revise the design to reduce the amount of the hairline aluminum panel.
4 Revise the design of the entrance element to integrate it more fully into the overall design.
5 Include the standard window glass note on the architectural drawings. Visible light transmittance
(VLT)shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%. Provide a
glass sample and specs for review.
6 Revise the plan to indicate the location of mechanical equipment. Include on the site plan and
architectural drawings the standard mechanical equipment note Visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated
7 Ensure that the types and sizes of the plants chosen for the stormwater facility will accomplish
screening of the vehicle storage and parking areas.
.g 8 Add a second tree at the building so that a pair of trees flanks the "brand wall". Add shrubs along
the front of the building,
9 Note that cabinet signs are not the preferred style for the Entrance Corridors Cabinet signs that
are approved must have opaque backgrounds,
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
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on
each drawing Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been
addressed 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

Project Proposal
The proposed project for 2070 Seminole Trail includes the following
Project Description:
Renovation of existing Building Supply store and warehouse into Ford Dealership
The majority of the project re-utilizes the existing space as Showroom and Sales, Parts
and Service Office as well as Mechanical auto repair shop All facades of the existing
Sales and Service building (the site structure visible from Rt 29) are to be renovated with
a combination of Stone paneling, Brick, Ford brand Metal paneling, new paint and
storefront Windows A new 2700 sq ft. `Service Drop-off' addition is proposed for the
southern side of the building's front as well as the new Entry Wall—typically a main
feature of Ford's design standards
• Design Intent
The design involves updating the building's facade with a design that is both in keeping
with Ford standards as well as one following the county's Entry Corridor guidelines The
current scale of the existing building has been maintained and further refined by the
proposed design The overall scale of the architectural elements and use of finishes and
textures have been revised to be more traditional in manner as a way of relating to
historic buildings in the area Stone and brick have been substituted for Ford Standard
Metal Paneling to tie into local vernacular
In addressing Human Scale, the Entry Wall Element scales down and defines showroom
entrance A layering of material finishes vertically and horizontally scales down the front
façade in and increases the visual interest of the building in contrast to its current state
The Service entrance recessed from front façade further delineates building function and
helps hide the rear existing building from Entry corridor
From the Entrance Corridor, Building scale is maintained and storefront improved by new
materials at front wall The addition of storefront will give building a more transparent
appearance, and counteract the existing building blankness The New addition will be
brick and rear Accessory structures will be updated /repainted to maintain consistency
with new showroom_ Loading, service, refuse, storage and utilities will be located behind
the showroom and service entry of the building
• Changes from previous submission:
In new revised design, brick has been substituted for a majority (more than 90%) of the
ribbed metal paneling The entire new drive through addition has been revised from metal
to brick exterior siding New brick siding will also be applied to the existing structure at the
North Elevation wall and in this area brick will form a new parapet hiding the existing roof
behind Stone Paneling has replaced all of the Metal Paneling at the front Entry Element.
All Hairline Aluminum has been replaced with the MTLC SMX SLVR metal paneling, a
less reflective and less metallic appearing silver color (see sample)
The design keeps a small portion of the ribbed metal but only as an accent feature We
have included an image of another built Ford Dealership where the ribbed metal is used in
the context of a decorative window header; we think this illustrates it as more of a
decorative element and less utilitarian—a concern from the previous ARB hearing
The Entry Wall design has been revised so that stone panels clad its surface (replacing
the shiny hairline) and the curvature has been straightened out to a straight vertical
surface Also the Entry Element is now more in proportion to the rest of the building front.
The brick wing walls on either side create a transition between the height of the 29' Entry
Element and 20' main parapet height. In this way, the entry doesn't contrast as much with
the rest of the building Also the location of Entry front wall is closer to the main building
front thereby alleviating the problem of it 'sticking out' and looking 'too much like a
billboard `, a comment from the previous ARB Hearing The new stone and brick
materiality help tie it into the local vernacular
• Entrance Corridor Compatibility
This project is compatible with the surrounding area in that it does not drastically alter the
footprint of the existing condition, and provides a much needed renovation of the existing
structure Also the new proposed new addition will help to hide the rambling rear portion
of the site—currently building storage which will be turned into service bays
We believe the development will improve the current condition of the site The public will benefit
from a new updated building along the 29 corridor as well as the economic value in retaining a
business already prospering in the county Also, there is a component of sustainability in this
project in the form of adaptive re-use and the plan's utilization of the entire portion of the existing
structures
Thank you,
BRW
