RE: ARB-2020125: Scott's Ivy Exxon (TMP: 058A2-00-00-02100)
Dear Mr. Collins,
Fax (4341 972-4126
At its meeting on Monday, January 4, 2021, 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: None.
• 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 samples for all materials and colors.
2. Revise the proposal to provide a design that maintains a connection to the
historic architecture of the area, that does not use trademark colors as a major
design element, and that establishes a cohesive overall design with human scale
and minimal blankness.
3. Coordinate the appearance and location of the dumpster screen in both the site
plan and color renderings. The location shown in the architectural renderings is
more appropriate than the one in the site plan.
4. Provide street level views looking east and west from Rt. 250 with and without
landscaping illustrating as much of the site as possible. Reduce width of
travelways as much as possible to reduce visibility of the addition from the EC.
5. Show the location of mechanical equipment (building- and ground -mounted) on
the site and architectural plans and show how it will be screened from the EC. If
the location is inside the building, note this on the plans. If located on the rooftop,
provide a roof plan showing equipment locations, and show the equipment
locations and heights on the elevation drawings.
6. Coordinate the color of the vending machine enclosure with the approved
building color.
7. Consider rotating the vending machine enclosure so that the closed end faces
the street.
8. Provide a lighting plan with the next submittal.
9. Revise the landscape plan to add one additional interior parking tree.
10. Revise the landscape plan to show all interior parking trees at 2.5" caliper at time
of planting.
11. Revise the landscape plan to provide additional trees and shrubs consistent with
the rest of the proposal at the southwest corner of the site.
12. Show the tree protection fencing consistently throughout the landscaping,
grading, and E&S plans.
13. Sign applications are required for all proposed signs.
14. Limit wall signs to individual letter signs.
15. Consider a reduction in the height of the addition, as well as fenestration or other
detailing to the south elevation.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience.
