Subject: Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital Sign, ARB 08 -37, Additional Information Needed
Mr.. Gropen - I have reviewed your sign proposal for the Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital sign. The
following additional information is needed before I can approve this proposal for the Architectural
Review Board.
1. Provide a to -scale drawing showing the location of the sign, with dimensions indicating how it
meets required setbacks. This drawing should also show the location of any utility easements and
indicate that the sign location does not violate those easements.
2. Provide a to -scale drawing showing existing and proposed landscaping for the sign. Indicate plant
species. The County sign guidelines contain the following landscape requirements for a
freestanding sign proposal:
"Use ground cover, shrubs and/or trees to integrate freestanding signs into the overall landscape
development of the site. Refer to the Albemarle county Recommended Plants List, which is included in
the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board Design Guidelines and is available on -line at
www.albemarle.org. "
Please note that 24" is the minimum planting height for proposed shrubs. You are welcome to email
these drawings if possible.
