Dear Ms. Long:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on February 22, 2011, reviewed the above
noted petition to install a Tier 2 telecommunications facility consisting of a 73' monopole and associated
ground equipment. The ARB took the following actions:
Regarding the around equipment and base station
The Board, by a vote of 5:0, approved the application with the following condition:
Revise the plans to show the three deciduous trees that stand south of the entrance drive, the extent
of the existing hedgerow along the right -of -way, and tall shrubs integrated with the existing
landscaping to screen the ground equipment from southbound views on Route 20.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB
revision dates on each drawing.
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 staff's review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate
of Appropriateness may be issued.
Regarding the visibility of the monopole
The Board, by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning Commission:
The ARB finds that the proposed location of the facility does not sufficiently minimize its visibility
from the Entrance Corridor based on the length of the view, the direction of the view, and the
distance along which the balloon was sky -lit when traveling southbound on the Route 20 Entrance
Corridor. The ARB recommends additional coordination with the school to find an alternate
location that further mitigates the visual impact of the pole on the Entrance Corridor.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
