RE: ARB-2019-58: Pantops Corner Storage, (TMP 07800-00-00-005E0)
Dear Mr. Rucker,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on
Monday, July 15, 2019. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff administrative
approval of the following conditions:
1. Provide architectural elevations and details that correspond to the renderings submitted and
reviewed on7115I2019
2. Clarify in the elevation drawings and in the material schedule where the ground -faced block
is proposed to be used.
3. Revise the material schedule to indicate the color of the metal canopy, the color
name/number of the standing seam metal roof, the glass type, and the retaining wall
material.
4. Revise the split -faced block to a material with a more finished, less utilitarian appearance.
5. Revise the glass to significantly reduce the tint. Choose one glass spec. Show that VLT will
not drop below 40% and VLR will not exceed 30%. Add the standard window glass note to
the architectural plans.
6. Show the locations of all ground- and building -mounted equipment on the plans. Show how
visibility from the ECs will be eliminated. Note that roof -mounted equipment will be difficult to
incorporate into a cohesive design.
7. Revise the lighting plan to coordinate the quantities of fixtures shown on the plan with those
in the schedule.
8. Revise the lighting plan to either include the canopy mount fixture on the plan and in the
schedule, and add the corresponding cut sheet, or eliminate the reference in note 4 on sheet
C9.
9. Revise the lighting plan to limit illumination at the ground to 20 fc.
10. Revise the plan to provide sufficient planting area and trees along the west side of the
building to help soften the building's appearance. Planting along the west side of the base of
the building wall should correspond to the planting shown in the submitted rendering on
7/15/19. In addition, planting along the base of the retaining wall that corresponds to the
building should be 40` on center with planting size of 2V caliper. Add an interior parking lot
tree along the west side of the parking lot.
r 1 Revise the landscape plan to coordinate the quantities of shrubs shown on the plan with
those listed in the schedule.
Please provide:
1. One full set 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.
When staffs review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a
Certificate of Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
