RE: SP -2006-009 Birchwood Place (Sign #10)
Tax Map Parcel 56A2-1-30
Dear Mr. Edwards:
On October 4, 2006, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action on SP 2006-009,
Birchwood Place to allow construction of one three-story office building totaling 19,500 square feet
and a one-story bank of 3,090 square feet on 3.66 acres on Tax Map Parcel 56A2-1-30 in the White
Hall Magisterial District. This special use permit was approved based on the following
conditions:
1. Architectural Review Board issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness prior to final site
plan approval;
2. Virginia Department of Transportation approval of entrance design and frontage
improvements as well as any associated road plans and/or drainage plans;
3. Approval of site plan by County Engineer;
4. Provide a row of evergreen shrubs along the eastern boundary line, from the southeast
corner of the property behind the sign for a distance of one hundred twenty (120) feet
along the eastern property line, to form a hedge that will screen views of the drive-
through use. Planting height shall be thirty (30) inches. Mature height shall be a
minimum of four (4) feet; and
5. Provide three and one-half inch (3'/2") caliper large shade trees, thirty-five (35) feet on
center, parallel to the EC street. Remove the water easement from the planting strip
along the EC or guarantee that street trees will remain. If utilities conflict with the EC
trees, increase the depth of the planting area to avoid conflicts.
Please be advised that although the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors took action
on the project noted above, no uses on the property as approved above may lawfully
