RE: CCP-2019-02: Regional P25 Radio Infrastructure Project (TMP 076000000054P0)
Dear Ms. Moeller,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on Tuesday, September 3, 2019,
completed an advisory review of the above -noted request to establish a microwave radio
communications facility supporting operations of the Charlottesville-UVA-Albemarle County
Emergency Communiations Center (ECC) at its COB5 backup dispatch and equipment facility.
The Board, by a vote of 4:0 (Wardell absent), forwarded the following recommendation to the
Planning Commission:
Regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for the ground equipment and base station:
Since the ground equipment will not be visible from the EC, the ARB has no objection to the
ground equipment and base station as proposed.
Regarding visibility of the monopole:
1. Given the degree of visibility displayed at the balloon test, the proposed location of the
facility does not sufficiently minimize the visibility of the monopole from the V" Street and
1-64 Entrance Corridors. Negative visual impact is anticipated.
2. A shade of light grey is recommended for the monopole.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
_u_�
