RE: ARB-2020-90: Aldi at Albemarle Square (TMP 06100-00-00-12300)
Dear Mr. Schafer,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board held a work session on the above noted item at
its meeting on Monday, October 5, 2020. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending
staff administrative approval of the following amended conditions:
1. Revise the design to eliminate the striped effect of the alternating bays on the west and
south elevations. Consider additional detailing and alternate distribution/division of colors to
relate better human scale and develop depth and layering. Pay additional attention to the
pedestrian experience between Aldi and the rest of the shopping center. The changes
illustrated on October 5 sufficiently meet this recommendation. The applicant may consider
revising the Rio Road elevation to achieve the "bookend" effect discussed during the
meeting.
2. Provide a larger sample of the silver metal panels for review. Consider an alternate color for
the metal panels that is more consistent with the neutral shades of the shopping center
building and the roof screen. The submitted sample is acceptable.
3. Clarify whether the paint color for the existing CMU is to match the Stanton Blend concrete
masonry veneer or the proposed mortar. The applicant has clarified the color is to match the
CMU.
4. Revise the window glass note to read, "Window glass meets the following criteria:...."
5. Revise the mechanical screen color to appear more coordinated with the proposed building
colors while maintaining a background appearance. Provide pictures of proposed materials
next to the existing roof screen. The Board supports maintaining the existing color of the
roof screen.
6. Include the standard mechanical equipment note on the drawings.
7. Revise the luminaire schedule to show the total lumens for each LED fixture and to indicate
the Top Cover Lens for the wall sconce. Provide a wall sconce cut sheet whose specs
match the catalog number provided in the luminaire schedule.
8. Revise the luminaire schedule to identify the color temperature for the wall sconces.
Coordinate the color temperature of all fixtures to a single level between 2000 and 3000 K.
9. Add the standard lighting note to the plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp
that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged
or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent
roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential
or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
10. Specify the Top Cover Lens for the wall sconces. Revise the wall sconce location to limit
illumination of the wall and maximize illumination of the sidewalk.
