RE: ARB2008 -00163 Wal -Mart Store
Tax Map 45, Parcel 68D5
Dear Mr. Bradner,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
December 15, 2008. The Board, by a vote of 3:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval
of the following conditions:
1. Provide a sample of the Trespa Meteon "Mahogany Red" Panel proposed for the front fagade.
2. Revise Sheet 7 New Landscape Plan Exhibit to show all of the landscape identification labels along
the EC.
3. Revise Sheet ARB -5 Retaining Wall Exhibitto state that the new concrete retaining wall will match the
existing concrete retaining wall.
4. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0 for all the calculations in the luminaire schedule.
Provide a color choice on the cut sheets for all the proposed light fixtures, freestanding light poles,
and bollards. Revise the lighting plan to include the proposed lighting cut sheets, illustrating the fixture
and placement of the bulb, within the set of full size site plan /lighting plan drawings.
5. Adjust the parking count on Sheet ARB -2 to show that the number of cart corrals has been reduced to
14, as stated by the applicant, and adjust the parking count. Add the following note to the plan:
Outdoor storage and display in the parking lot approved under previous special use permits cannot be
used unless sufficient parking is provided.
6. Specify the type of material proposed for each sign on the sign drawing.
7. Specify how all the channel letter wall signs will be mounted to the building. If the channel letter signs
are to be raceway- mounted, add a note on the sign drawing stating that the raceway shall match the
wall color.
8. Reduce the total amount of square footage for proposed signage on the front facade to 320', as
required by the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
9. Provide dimensioned drawings showing the location of the channel letter wall signs under the east
and west curved roof elements on the front elevation in order to determine that there is an appropriate
amount of unoccupied space above and below the signs. Typically, a ratio of 1/3 text to 2/3 wall area
or 1/4 text to 3/a wall area is a good working proportioning system for placing a sign on a building.
10. Add this note to the Building Signage Details drawing: Channel letters with translucent faces shall be
constructed such that no light spills outward from the top, bottom, sides or back.
11. Add this note to the Building Signage Details drawing: The level of illumination provided by the LED
lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
12. Revise the proposed light fixtures underneath the "Home & Living" and "Market & Pharmacy" channel
letter signs to a light fixture that is a full cutoff style fixture or revise the proposed florescent light
source to a bulb that is less than 35 Watts in a fixture that shields the light to eliminate glare, as
required by the EC Guidelines.
13. Revise the lighting plan to include the proposed lighting cut sheets, illustrating the fixture and
placement of the bulb, within the set of full size site plan /lighting plan drawings.
14. Provide a color sample for the blue proposed for the background of the monument sign. PMS 301 C,
3017C, and 3015C can be approved for the background of the sign. Revise Sheet 7 New Landscape
Plan Exhibitto show the species proposed to be planted around the monument sign. Reduce the total
sign area of the proposed monument sign to comply a maximum size of 32 square feet as permitted
by the zoning ordinance.
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.
