RE: ARB2008 -00151 Re- Store'n Station
Tax Map 55B, Parcel 1
Dear Mr. Jones,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on May 18, 2009, held a work session on
ARB2008 -00151 Re- Store'n Station. The ARB had the following comments:
1. A to -scale drawing is required to determine if the revised layout works. Specifically, turning radius and
travelway requirements should be called out.
2. The site should be efficiently organized resulting in the possible reduction of asphalt and increase in green
space.
3. The articulation of the west elevation of the building is an issue.
4. The building is located more appropriately in reference to the EC.
5. The relocation of the canopy is appropriate. The relationship between the building and the canopy should
be reconfigured so that the there is a balance between the canopy and the building.
6. The ARB would consider a wider and shorter canopy.
7. Increase the size of the planting island near the rear fuel pump canopy.
8. The cornice and the columns don't exhibit the same scale. The cornice should have more delicate
detailing. If columns are used, they should be tapered.
9. Reconsider building layout to increase window area on the east elevation.
10. All windows should be coordinated.
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,
Eryn Brennan
Senior Planner
