Do I need to request for an extension or anything? Jason Sowell SGA Design Group 1995-2020 I Celebrating 25 Years of Opening Doors d: 918.587.8602,322 (ext.) From: Margaret Maliszewski <MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Sent:Thursday,July 30, 2020 1:49 PM 1 To:Jason Sowell<JasonS@sgadesigngroup.com> Subject: RE: Hobby Lobby renovation (ARB-2020-78) Jason, In response to your questions: 1. The note must appear on the plans. Adding the note means that you are confirming that new equipment will not be visible from Rt. 29. 6. I sent you the wrong site plan amendment application link.This is the correct one. It is for a Letter of Revision, which is like a minor, minor amendment.You will need to submit the completed application, the fee, and the items listed under"submittal requirements". A coworker is in the process of determining which site plan you will be amending. I will send that information as soon as it is available. Emailed PDFs are fine.You may submit within 60 days. Thanks.

We will issue a revision and address your comments but I do have some questions for you, see below in red. Jason Sowell SGA Design Group 1995-2020 I Celebrating 25 Years of Opening Doors d: 918.587.8602,322(ext.) From: Margaret Maliszewski<MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Sent:Sunday,July 26, 2020 8:55 AM To:Jason Sowell<JasonS@sgadesigngroup.com> Subject: Hobby Lobby renovation (ARB-2020-78) Dear Jason, We have received the above-noted application for a county-wide Certificate of Appropriateness. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the County-wide Certificate. 2 y w ♦ 1. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the drawings: "Visibility (II all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." All we need to do is add a note to plans or do we need to do a site line study to determine if any units need to be screened? 2. Add the standard lighting note to the drawings: "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-halffootcandle. " 3. The photometric plan must be calculated using an LLF of 1.0 to meet County policies. 4. Revise the light fixture to eliminate the refractive lens. 5. Revise the light fixture to use a lamp with a color temperature between 2000K and 3000K. 6. Note that a minor site plan amendment is required for this proposal. For this, all you need is the application for major or minor site plan amendment or other documents required, i.e.. 8 or 16 additional sets plans pending which category we fall under. Is the calculation based on soil disturbance to determine whether we are major or minor category? 7. Note that the wall sign is not approved with this application. A separate application is required, but preliminary comments are provided for your use: we are not submitting for signage approval as part of this review, signage documents will be submitted by Hobby Lobby at a later time for review and approval. a. The sign appears overscaled. A letter height to sign band proportion of 1/3 to 2/3 or '/< to '/a is generally considered appropriate. b. Sign colors are subject to review. On the sign drawings, be sure to provide the Pantone color equivalents for all proposed sign colors. Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not proceed with these revisions.Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised drawings to me. If changes other than those requested are made, clearly outline those changes in a memo accompanying your submittal. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your application. Failure to respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on the application without further revisions. To clarify, no hard copies are required,just email you our revisions? Do we have 60 days to submit our revision? If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible.
