RE: ARB 2009 -35: Collins Medical Center
Tax Map 61W, Section 2, Block B, Parcel 1 A
Dear Mr. Burkholder:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on June 15, 2009, completed a
preliminary review of the above -noted request to construct a single -story building and associated site
improvements for an oral surgery medical practice. The Board offered the following comments for the
benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have
been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and
changes to the plan.
1. Provide samples of all proposed building materials and colors.
2. Revise Sheet 1 of 1 Preliminary Site Plan to show the grading contours associated with the fill slopes along
the west side of the building and the cut slope (elev. 452) in the southeast corner of the parking lot
rounded to meet the existing condition, with the use of a 10' minimum radius.
3. Include, with your next submission, an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan showing the method and
location of tree protection. Provide a tree conservation plan with measures limiting and remedying impacts
on existing trees to remain along with verification from a certified arborist that all proposed grading will not
be detrimental to the health of trees designated to remain.
4. Revise Sheet 1 of 1 Preliminary Site Plan to include the location of the easement boundary for the
overhead power line along the Westfield Road frontage. Revise the drawing to note the distance from the
ground to the lowest line. If the mature height of the 3 proposed Winter King Hawthorn trees conflicts with
the location of this line, revise the proposal to show the use of a shorter tree.
5. Designs for all freestanding signage visible from the Corridor will need to meet ARB Sign Guidelines, with
locations free of conflicts with utilities and landscaping. An ARB sign application for freestanding signage
is an additional application that can be submitted separately from the ARB site plan application. For
building signage visible from the Corridor, provide revised elevations showing the sign location along with
details, including materials, colors and dimensions, of the sign design. Wall and freestanding signs will
require a sign permit in addition to ARB approval.
6. Provide a lighting photometric plan showing the location of all proposed site, building and decorative
lighting. Include all lighting cutsheets in the full size drawings. Provide a luminaire schedule of all proposed
exterior lighting on the photometric plan, clearly indicating all lighting options chosen, including but not
limited to heights and colors proposed for all fixtures and poles. All fixtures emitting 3,000 or more lumens
shall be full cutoff style fixtures.
7. Revise the drawing date for Sheet 1 of 1 Preliminary Site Plan to correctly reference the year as 4- 14 -09.
8. Revise the misspelled label PATIENCE REST. on Sheet Al -101 First Floorto read PATIENT REST.
9. Regarding the cantilevered portico on the northwest elevation: a) provide support similar to the front
portico using classical elements and proportions to eliminate the cantilevered appearance b) consider
either engaging or more fully disengaging the fascia line from the main roof.
10. Consider eliminating the dumpster, dumpster pad and enclosure in favor of independent trash cans
fully screened.
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 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
