MEMORANDUM
TO: Megan Yaniglos
FROM: Margaret Maliszewski
DATE: August 14, 2009
RE: SDP: 2009 -58: Luckstone Corp. Proposed Entrance & Office Bldg - Prelim
This proposal appears to be similar to one reviewed and approved by the ARB in 1999. Some
aspects of the proposal have changed, including the size and shape of the office, and the current
plan shows no proposed planting and includes no information on lighting.
If it is determined that the office will be visible from the Route 250 Entrance Corridor, an ARB
application will be required. To determine if the office will be visible, the applicant should
submit to -scale building elevations and site sections from Route 250 to the building. Regardless
of whether or not the building is visible, the site plan should be revised to include the planting
that was previously approved, or an alternate planting scheme can be reviewed by the ARB as
part of a new ARB application. If lighting is proposed, complete lighting information should be
included on the plan for review. If no lighting is proposed, it would be useful for the applicant to
indicate this in writing.
The current plan shows a sign proposed in the median near Route 250. A sign was approved with
the ARB's 1999 action, but a resubmittal of the sign proposal should be made to ensure
consistency with the previous approval. An alternate design may require a new ARB application
(or inclusion of complete sign information with the ARB applications discussed above). Also,
the applicant should note that a separate sign permit application will be required for the sign.
