RE: ARB: 2009 -56: Holiday Inn Express
TMP 07800- 00- 00 -009DO
Dear Mr. Bhatt;
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above -noted proposal to construct a 5 -story
hotel with associated site improvements at its meeting on Monday, August 17, 2009. The Board unanimously
approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Revise the Material /Color Key on Sheet A -501 Building Elevations to include the manufacturer and
product ID for the window glazing and provide a sample of the glazing. Revise the drawing to indicate the
color of the proposed HVAC wall and window grates; a medium bronze color for the window grates would
be appropriate. Revise the Material /Color Key to indicate the same bronze color for the window frames.
Revise the drawing to indicate the wall HVAC units are to be painted to match the brick wall in which
they are located and remove the note Materials to be as listed or similar. Revise Sheet 2 of 6 ARB Overall
Layout Plan to note the name of the brick proposed for the enclosures around the ground- mounted
equipment, and to include the height of the enclosure and the maximum height of the units within.
2. Top story window heights shall match the elevation drawing submitted August 17, 2009. Revise Sheet 6 of
6 Landscape Plan by replacing the Shadblow Serviceberry and Crape Myrtle trees, proposed along the
frontage in the northeast corner of the site, with species that are medium to large deciduous trees from the
Albemarle County Recommended Plants List.
3. Revise Sheet 6 of 6 Landscape Plan by reducing the spacing of the Shamrock Hollies, at the head of
parking spaces facing Town and Country Drive, to 4'. Revise the spacing of the Otto Luyken Laurels,
shown near the head of spaces facing the vehicular access easement with the Guadalajara restaurant, to 6'.
4. Revise Sheet 1 of 1 Photometric Plan to include the color and finish of all light poles; a bronze matte finish
would be appropriate. Revise the note Fixture used should be bronze matt finish to read All proposed
fixtures shall be a bronze matt finish. Provide a revised photometric plan with print that is readable.
5. Revise the wall signage proposal by:
• Reducing the height, from the ground to the top of the sign/logo box, to 30' maximum. Should the
applicant apply for a variance for the sign height, the ARB recommends that the height illustrated
in the color elevations submitted for the August 17 ARB meeting would be appropriate for the
EC.
• Reducing the width of the signage in the south (front) elevation so as not to overcrowd the space.
• Reposition the sign/logo box so the top or bottom aligns with the top or bottom of the adjacent
window.
• Remove the vertical detailing from the large wall on the right and left elevations and keep the
medallions and single line on the smaller wall of the same elevations from the drawings submitted
August 17, 2009.
• Provide a channel letter detail, showing the method of construction and light source (bulb type),
clearly showing that no light will spill outward from the top, bottom, sides or back. Indicate the
trim cap and return color; bronze would be appropriate.
• Provide a logo box detail, including the method of construction and illumination, demonstrating
the use of a non - illuminated background, or an opaque (zero light transmission) background, with
only the text (H) illuminating. Provide a sample of the green color proposed for the logo box.
7. Revise Sheet 6 of 6 Landscape Plan by revising the labels "Revise LI" to read "Revised U."
8. It is the consensus of the ARB that the accent lights are not appropriate for the EC.
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 staffs 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.
Sincerely,
