Dear Mr.Van Bremen,
At its meeting on Monday, December 7, 2020, the Albemarle County Architectural Review
Board unanimously voted to forward the following recommendations on the above -noted Initial
Site Development Plan to the agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and
(5) and recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
o Prior to Initial Plan approval the following items shall be resolved to the
satisfaction of the ARB: None. The ARB recommends approval of the Initial Plan
without conditions.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
1. Provide the conservation checklist in the site plan.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The following
items and all items on the ARB Final Site Plan Checklist must be addressed:
1. Provide material and color samples for all materials.
2. Add architectural details such as height variation and greater variation in the
material changes along the EC -facing elevation to help better establish the
elevation as the front of the building and add human scale to the building. Most
ARB members agreed that the revised elevation shown during the meeting is
moving in the right direction.
3. Consider revising the proposed material to a more traditional brick form and/or a
natural earth -tone color. Accurately reflect the proposed material in the drawings
and renderings.
4. Submit a window glass sample and specs with the next submission.
5. Add the standard window glass note to the drawings with the next submission:
Visible light transmittance (VL7) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light
reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
6. Provide detail drawings and color samples for the vacuum and auto sentry
equipment.
7. Provide in the plan all pay station and vacuum station -related elements
(canopies, trash cans, lighting, pay stations, etc.).
8. Provide a perspective view looking south into the site, with and without
landscaping.
9. Provide a dumpster screen detail in the site plan.
10. Provide preliminary information on vacuum and pay station -related signage for
review.
11. Revise the drawings to show where building- and car wash -related equipment is
located. If the location is inside the building, note this on the plans. If located on
the rooftop, provide a roof plan showing the equipment locations, show the
equipment locations and heights on the elevation drawings, and illustrate
methods for eliminating visibility of the equipment.
12. Add the standard mechanical equipment visibility note to the drawings with the
next submission: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance
Corridor shall be eliminated."
13. Coordinate the light fixtures shown on the building elevations with the light
fixtures listed in the lighting schedule in the site plan.
14. Revise the proposed lighting to soft, warm white (3k).
15. Indicate the color of the proposed fixtures on the plans.
16. Include a note on the lighting plan indicating that the 20' maximum height of the
pole -mounted light fixtures includes any base.
17. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0 for all fixtures.
18. Add the standard lighting note to the lighting plan: "Each outdoor Iuminaire
equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff
Iuminaire 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."
19. Revise the landscape plan to show the large shade trees extending along the full
frontage of Rt. 29.
20. Confirm the location of electrical service on the plans.
21. Provide two large trees, one parallel to Worth Crossing and one parallel to
Fortune Park Road, 21/2' caliper at planting.
22. Revise the landscape plan to show one large tree in the gap along the north side
of the site near the pay stations to meet the perimeter parking area landscaping
requirements.
23. Provide additional shrubs near the pay stations along the north end of the site to
help mitigate the visibility of the paved area and pay stations/queuing line from
Rt. 29.
24. Provide shrubs or other vegetation along the EC -facing elevation of the building.
25. Provide details on the proposed dumpster enclosure.
26. Provide the conservation checklist and associated checklist items in the site plan.
27. Sign applications are required for all proposed signs. Provide with the sign
applications a sample of the color proposed for the signs. Reduce the scale of
the car logo shown on the monument signage to create a more proportional sign
design.
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.oro. Please be certain that
