RE: ARB2007 -00056 Oakleigh Farm
Dear Mr. Edwards:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 17, 2007, completed an
advisory review of the above -noted request to rezone 8.8 acres to Neighborhood Model zoning district.
The Board by a vote of 4:1 forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning Commission:
The ARB can support the rezoning, subject to the following conditions:
1. Revise the Code /Application Plan to address replacement or other compensation for the existing mature
trees to remain, should they die.
2. Revise the Code to specify portable chain link for tree protection fencing.
3. The ARB's recommendation for support of the rezoning is based on the Master Plan as provided on
September 17, 2007 with amendments to be made to the footprints of buildings A and B to reflect the
changes as proposed in the elevations. (The buildings presented on September 17 have bays projecting
from the ends.)
4. Reduce the parking between Building B and the EC.
5. Revise the Code and Application Plan to indicate that landscaping shown on the Application Plan and in
the Code does not meet ARB Guidelines and will be redesigned at preliminary and final site plan review to
meet the Guidelines, as required by the ARB, and that additional planting area will be provided to
accommodate the landscaping as required by the ARB.
6. Complete the "Architectural Standards" chapter of the Code and submit it for review.
7. Revise the Code to indicate that the information on page 56 relates to new street trees, not including those
along Hydraulic Road. Revise the 3rd bullet on page 56 to clarify what "within reason" means. Revise the
4th bullet on page 56 to clarify what "in view from the street" means, to further clarify which trees are
subject to this requirement, and to better compensate for trees that have grown larger than the
replacement size or to mature size.
8. The ARB reserves the right to review Buildings A — D in detail.
9. Planting shall be created in front of the wall of Building A as indicated by the EC Guidelines.
You may submit your application for preliminary ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application
forms, checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /planning.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
