Dear Mr. Yauger,

The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday, December
6, 2021. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Provide a sample of the corrugated metal siding for review.
2. Revise the architectural drawing to indicate the proposed block size for the masonry.
3. Align the storefront heights on the EC elevation with those on the south side and add a canopy to the middle bay of
the EC elevation.
4. Revise the plant trellises to extend down the elevation to the to match the form of the bay doors along the south
elevation. Remove the trellis closest to the EC street.
5. Revise the architectural drawings to include the standard window glass note: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall
not drop below 40916. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
6. Consider revising the site plan to relocate the electrical switch cabinet to eliminate visibility from the EC.
Alternatively add a wing wall and paint the cabinet to match the building. Add a note to the site plan to identify the
cabinet.
7. Revise the elevation drawings to show the roof -mounted mechanical equipment to confirm that it will be screened
from view of the EC.
8. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawing: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment
from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
9. Revise the lighting plan to indicate the fixture color for the pole -mounted lighting.
10. Consider revising the plan to provide additional planting area along the Rt. 29 frontage to accommodate required
frontage trees free of utilities. Note that this will likely require the elimination of some parking spaces in the 8-
space parking row adjacent to the Rt. 29 frontage. Alternatively, locate larger trees further into the planting area
towards the building and one in the parking area, eliminating one parking space.
11. Revise the site plan set to consistently show the existing water line as being removed.
12. Revise the deciduous landscaping along the northern perimeter of the site to evergreens.
13. Revise the site plan set to show the planting beds and plants proposed for the trellises.
14. Revise the plan to indicate the color of the retaining wall sample that has been submitted.
15. Please note separate sign applications are required for all proposed signs. The following comments provided with
the initial review still apply:
a. Revise the wall signs to use either face illumination or halo illumination.
b. Revise the sign proposed on the south elevation so that it has a more coordinated appearance. This can be
done by reducing the size of the sign and/or changing the layout to a single line of text.
c. The background of any cabinet signs proposed will be required to have an opaque background if internally
illuminated.
d. Include the size of the existing freestanding sign on the sign drawings. If the sign is taller than 12' and
larger than 32 square feet, the proposal must include a 25% reduction in height and area until the height
reaches 12' and area reaches 32 sf.
