RE: ARB-2021-49: Umansky Subaru Preliminary Site Plan (TMP: 04500-00-00-068D4)
Dear Mr. Pineo,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on Monday, June 7, 2021, completed a
preliminary review of the above -noted request to renovate the Umansky Subaru showroom building. The Board
offered the following comments for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following
comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated
based on further review and changes to the plan.
1. Consider reducing the amount of ACM panel used in the design, increasing the use of warmer colors,
and increasing materials with greater texture.
2. Revise the plans to include the standard window glass note: Visible light transmittance (VL7) shall not
drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
3. Indicate if any roof or ground -mounted equipment is proposed with the renovations to the building. If new
equipment is proposed, show locations and show how that equipment will be screened from the EC.
4. Indicate if any site or building -mounted lighting is proposed with the renovations to the building. If new
lighting is proposed, provide complete details.
5. Revise the landscape plan to show all previously approved landscaping, and further clarify the proposal
to identify plants to remain, plants to be removed, and plants to be added.
6. Revise the landscape plan to provide show the correct quantity of shade trees along the parking area
adjacent to Hilton Heights Rd.
7. Revise the landscape plan to show all approved landscaping along the eastern end of the building.
8. Revise the landscape plan to include plant species.
9. Sign applications are required for all proposed signs.
10. Changes to coping color and sign colors could help reduce the trademark impact.

The Board by a vote of 5-0 determined that the proposed architectural design for the Umansky Subaru Building
Renovation is compatible with the design of the Phase I building.
