Dear Mr. Delph:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on March 16, 2009, held a work session on
ARB2008- 00171. The ARB had the following comments:
As a result of the work session, it was the consensus of the ARB that the following issues must be
addressed in the next submittal:
1. Provide a natural planting scheme. Concentrate on planting to minimize views of parked cars from the
EC.
2. Clarify proposed materials, colors and textures; provide an accurate key on the drawings.
3. The reflectivity of the proposed copper panel and the color of the block should be carefully considered
and accurately represented in submitted drawings
It was also indicated that the action on the conceptual review of the site and building design from January
20, 2009 should be revised as follows:
1. #1 should be revised as follows: A building design addressing all Entrance Corridor Guidelines, with
materials and colors that are compatible with historic buildings in the area, sensitive to nearby
structures in the Corridor. Submit samples of all proposed building materials and colors with the
application.
2. #2 should be deleted.
3. #6 should be deleted.
4. #8 should read as follows: "A landscape plan that meets or exceeds all Entrance Corridor landscape
guidelines, with the existing and proposed tree lines, the limits of grading and clearing, the location
and method of tree protection clearly indicated, planting to limit the view of autos in the parking lot
closest to the EC, and appropriate planting design for all proposed slopes.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms,
checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /planning.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above, and those from previous reviews, are required.
Include updated ARB revision dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel. Please provide a
memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been addressed. 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.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Brent Nelson
Landscape Planner
