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.
1. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
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-half footcandle."
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.
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:
a. The sign appears overscaled. A letter height to sign band proportion of 1/3 to 2/3 or to 3/4 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.
If you have any questions about this action,please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
