We are in construction of another in Culpepper and ill share photos when completed—Expected Oct 2019 Completion Ryan From: Margaret Maliszewski <MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Sent: Friday,July 19, 2019 8:41 AM To: Ryan Blake<ryan.blake@suntribesolar.com> Subject: RE: Solar on the Corridor Can you provide photo examples of the car port and standing seam types?

Those photos were helpful. Here's what I suggest. Make your application for the Volvo solar awning as a Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a "Minor amendment to site or architectural plans". I will coordinate with the ARB chair about setting a date for a work session to establish design criteria for Countywide Certificates for this"solar awning" type of installation. 1 It would be helpful if you could draft a list of solar installation types,with images, so we could also ask the ARB if/how they would like to proceed with establishing design criteria for the other installation types, as well.This would be submitted separate from your ARB application, but preferably before the work session (the date of which I will get back to you on).

However, it could qualify as a staff-level review. Is the awning made of solar panels?

Only a portion of the site—and a portion of the building-actually fall within the EC overlay. I have to run to a meeting right now, but I'll check as soon as I'm done. Please wait to hear from me again before you submit. Is the awning also solar panels?

The entire project will have solar on the roof top, which is not covered in this application. Do you anticipate this being a problem to only cover the awning during our scheduled meeting? Im simply trying to avoid confusing the point of our meeting which is the awning. The roof top solar will be completely hidden by the existing roof top parapet.

Margaret From: Ryan Blake<ryan.blake@suntribesolar.com> Sent:Thursday,July 11, 2019 11:00 AM To: Margaret Maliszewski<MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Subject:Solar on the Corridor Hello Margaret, STS has secured a contract to build a solar array on a building within the entry corridor.The array will be roof top mounted and hidden from view; however, there is a request for an awning which will be visible. 1. When is the dead line to submit an application to be on the next available ARB meeting? 2. I would like to use this project to also consider a county wide certificate of appropriateness for this specific type of solar application. How would you recommend I structure the application?Would you recommend we separate this project from the county wide certificate of appropriateness discussion?
