Dear Mr. Wardell:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
May 19, 2008. The Board approved the request, by a vote of 3:0, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions and a work session with the ARB to include the review of conditions 1, 7, 13 and 22:
1. Revise the design of the LTACH building to eliminate the non - traditional, disjointed appearance of the
EC elevation. This design will be reviewed in a work session. The elevation may be revised at the
discretion of the architect, as follows:
• Consider extending the cornice of the entry part of the building to return and tie in with the
stair tower; likewise, on the western tower to return its cornice to tie in with the stair tower.
• The truncated roof over the two side towers would benefit by returning in a hip.
• The slot of brick on the two side towers might benefit from having cast stone heads, possibly
a medium brick color rather than the dark color, and the continuation of the foundation brick
across the recesses to tie the elevation together.
2. Add the following note to the site and architectural drawings: "Mechanical equipment shall not be
visible from the EC."
3. Provide complete proposed grading. Show tree lines to remain. Show tree protection fencing. Ensure
that existing trees to remain are drawn at actual size. Revise proposed grading to avoid the drip line of
trees to remain.
4. Provide on the plan the number of required parking spaces and the number of proposed parking
spaces for each parcel. Parking proposed in excess of the number required will likely result in a
recommendation for reduced parking area. Provide on the plan the number of required parking
spaces and the number of proposed parking for each parcel. Replace the parking spaces proposed
in excess of the number required with interior parking lot trees along the western side of the Sieg
parking lot and between the new parking lot and the eastern elevation of the Sieg building.
5. Provide an existing conditions plan drawn at the same scale as the layout and landscape plans.
6. Provide a landscape plan that identifies the species of each proposed tree.
7. Provide an elevation of the stone site walls at the LTACH and Northridge sites. The overall stone site
walls should have reduced heights in the steps of the walls and more gradual steps.
8. Provide a landscape plan that identifies specific species for proposed plants.
9. Provide EC trees at 3' /2" caliper. Ensure that trees are planted at least 35' on center along the EC.
10. Provide an existing conditions sheet that identifies all existing trees for each site.
11. Provide all shrubs at 24" height minimum at planting.
12. Revise the proposal to provide trees along the east side of the LTACH building outside of utilities and
easements.
13. Provide additional details clarifying how the appearance of the rip rap area between the biofilter wall
and the EC will be made appropriate for the EC. Revise the rip rap and other site elements, as
necessary, to establish an appropriate appearance.
14. Provide manufacturer's cut sheets for each proposed lighting fixture. Include the cut sheets on a
sheet of the site plan set.
15. Provide for review a sample of the Sherwin Williams "Rockwood Shutter Green" color that is proposed
for all the light fixtures.
16. Revise the photometric plan to provide footcandle values out to zero or the property line. Clearly
indicate the property lines on the photometric plans.
17. Provide a break line /match line on the photometric plans.
18. Provide footcandle levels for the OA and OB fixtures at the biofilter proposed at the southeast corner
of the Sieg site.
19. Reduce the overall height of OB and OD fixtures in the Sieg parking lot to be less than the height of
the Sieg building.
20. Include the following note on the site plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits
3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire. The spillover of lighting from luminaires
onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one -half
footcandle.
21. Consider providing an off -white color for the storefront and the metal cornice work instead of the
bright white currently specified.
22. Provide additional samples for alternate spandrel glazing.
23. Continue the row of shrubs around the southern end of the grass planting area in the water easement.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting
the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staff's review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
