Dear Mr. Shank,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on December 1, 2008, completed a
preliminary review of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the Special Use Permit/Rezoning, the Board by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following
recommendation to the Planning Commission:
The ARB expresses no objection to the special use permit, subject to the following conditions:
1. Replace the 3 Dwarf Burford Holly and 3 Green Luster Holly shrubs, shown in the enlarged northwest
corner planting bed, with evergreen shrubs having mature heights of 8' to 10' planted for the full width of
the enlarged corner planting bed. Replace the Red Azaleas, shown in the northwest corner of the site,
with an evergreen species.
Regarding the Final Site Plan, the Board by a vote of 3:0, approved the Certificate of Appropriateness for
the above noted petition, pending staff administrative approval of the conditions listed in the staff report,
amended as follows:
1. Revise Sheet Al by adding a note indicating the reflectance value of the proposed glass and the method
and location of the false window.
2. Revise all site layout sheets, including the landscape plan, to include details of the proposed pole
mounted transformer including location of pole, location on the pole, and the overall size and color of the
transformer.
3. Revise Sheet C5 Landscape Plan by changing the Red Azaleas, shown in the northwest corner of the site,
to an evergreen species.
4. Revise the proposal to show the use of a muntin form on the exterior (EC side) of the glass, with a raised
3 dimensional form and a scale and size that is appropriate for the window.
5. Revise Sheet C5 Landscape Plan by replacing the 3 Dwarf Burford and 3 Green Luster Hollies, shown in
the enlarged northwest corner planting bed, with evergreen shrubs having mature heights of 8' to 10'
planted for the full width of the enlarged corner planting area. This will require more than the 6 shrubs
currently proposed. Provide evidence of a planting easement that would allow for all of the proposed
plantings currently shown in the Route 250W right-of-way. Revise the landscape plan/schedule to clarify
the identity of the plants currently tagged with an L 15 designation.
6. Revise Sheet C10 Lighting Details to include cutsheets of canopy Fixture K, parking lot Fixture A2, and
wall -mount fixture S. Revise the lighting proposal to include an alternate to Fixture S that is a full cutoff
design or revise its light source to one that emits less than 3, 000 lumens.
7. Revise the luminaire schedule on Sheet C6 Lighting Plan to indicate the mounting height of all pole and
wall -mounted fixtures. A maximum height of 20' would be appropriate for the pole -mounted fixtures.
Revise Sheet C5 Landscape Plan to show the location of all proposed light fixtures. Ensure that there are
no conflicts with proposed plantings.
8. Revise the luminaire schedule on Sheet C6 Lighting Plan to indicate the proposed color and finish for all
proposed poles and fixtures; black or bronze is appropriate. Revise the proposed lighting maintenance
factor (LLF) to one (1).
9. One (1) sign is permitted; revise the sign drawings accordingly. Revise the sign drawings to indicate the
product color ID for the red acrylic trim caps and returns. Provide a sample of the color. Revise the sign
drawing to include a note indicating that the sign raceway will be painted to match the color of the wall to
which it will attach. The drawing should also be revised to include the following note: Channel letters with
translucent faces shall be constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back.
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.
Sincerely,
Brent Nelson
Landscape Planner
