RE: ARB- 2009 -55: North Fork Regional Pump Station Project
Tax Map 32, Parcel 6A
Dear Mr. Luck,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
August 3, 2009. The Board, by a vote of 3:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions:
1. Add a note to the site plan identifying the height and color of the mechanical equipment and submit an
actual color sample. The color shall be an earth tone that blends well with the surrounding
environment. Add the following note to the site plan: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
2. Revise the building elevations to show a soldier course made of approved brick to relieve the
expanses of blank wall. Soldier course to be flush with face of corner projections. Provide a material
schedule on the architectural drawings identifying all the proposed building materials; include details
such as color, manufacturer name and brand. Revised building elevations, received 8/3/09, are
approved.
3. Include the cut sheets for the proposed lighting within the set of full size site plan /lighting plan
drawings. Include the LLF calculations, the lumens, and the watts in the luminaire schedule. Indicate
in the luminaire schedule the color and finish of all light fixtures and light poles for the proposed
development. Dark brown, dark bronze, or black are appropriate colors for free - standing pole
mounted light fixtures in the EC. Revise the manufacturer note in the luminaire schedule for Fixture A
to correspond to the cut sheet. Reduce the height of light fixture A to 15'. Include the following note on
the photometric plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial
lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and
property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
Maintenance /utility light will be activated by a combination timer /motion sensor.
4. Show all of the proposed utility lines and their easements on the landscape plan. Highlight or lightly
shade the easement areas so they are clearly identifiable. Identify areas where no plantings are
allowed on the applicant's property.
5. Revise the landscape plan to show small to medium evergreen trees or deciduous shrubs with low,
dense branch patterns interspersed with the shrubs and shade trees proposed along the EC and in
front of the development, specifically within the 50' easement that is located north of the proposed
driveway and within the easement located south of the generator.
6. Revise the landscape plan to shift the southern red oak to avoid conflict with the overhead utility line.
7. Revise the plant schedule to show that the shrubs proposed on the landscape plan will be at least 24"
in height at planting.
8. Add the following note to the landscape plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to
reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall
be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant."
9. Eliminate the proposed treeline on the Existing Landscape Conditions plan on Sheet C -11.
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.
