RE: ARB- 2008 -138: Hydraulic Wash
Tax Map 61 K, Section 5, Parcel 1 A
Dear Mr. Shimp,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
November 3, 2008. The Board, by a vote of 4:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Revise the plans to show more clearly the outline of the footprint of the existing building on drawings C3
Existing Conditions /Demo Plan, C4 Site and Grading Plan, and the Landscape Plan on C5 Lighting and
Landscape Plan.
2. Revise the plans on C4 Site and Grading Plan and C5 Lighting and Landscape Plan to show how the
addition will align with the existing building and sidewalk, and be consistent on all the plans.
3. Correct the number of cherry laurels proposed along the north lot line from 14 to 12, as shown on the plan
and stated in the plant list. Incorporate shrubs and other planting elements into the landscaping around
the trees in front of the proposed and existing building. Correct the number of dwarf bayberry listed in the
plant list from 13 to 17.
4. Revise the drawings to show how the cistern and any other elements of the roof rainwater collection
system proposed on the north side of the building will be screened. Provide a fence that matches the style
and color of the existing fence on the adjacent property. Provide plants on the EC side of the fence.
5. Show utility easements on the landscape plan on Sheet A1.0. If the proposed light fixture is located within
the utility easement, provide documentation from the gas company that there is no objection to placing the
light fixture in the proposed location. Alternatively, shift the pole out of the easement.
6. Revise the architectural drawings to show the proposed location of the new wall sign and its relationship to
the existing structure and signage. Provide complete details on the proposed wall sign and reference the
sign checklist for requirements. Provide color and material samples. A non - illuminated or exterior -lit panel
sign is preferred. Recognize that the proposed signs will become part of a comprehensive sign guideline
for consistency between business signs.
7. Although the existing wall sign is legally nonconforming, the applicant is encouraged to reface or replace it
to meet current guidelines.
8. Although the freestanding sign is legally nonconforming, the applicant is encouraged to reface the cabinet
sign with appropriate panels that meet the current EC guidelines and eliminate the plywood panels, or
replace the freestanding pole sign with an externally -lit freestanding monument sign. The applicant is also
encouraged to expand the planting area in this corner of the site. Revise the landscape plan on C5
Lighting and Landscape Plan to show that the existing freestanding sign will not be moved, and change
the description of the sign from "Monument Sign" to "Pole Sign" on the plan.
9. Revise Sheet A1.0 Building Plan and Elevations to indicate that the blue trim in the gable and cupola will
be painted white.
10. Revise the southeast elevation to include a double window in the front third of the wall.
11. Revise the drawings to show where the laundry vents will be relocated. The vents and all equipment shall
not be visible from the EC.
12. The materials and colors as submitted are approved.
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, also identify those changes in the memo. 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.
