RE: ARB- 2011 -72: Peace Lutheran Church Minor
Dear John,
We have received the above -noted application and I have determined that it may be reviewed as a county -wide Certificate
of Appropriateness for a minor amendment. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with
the design criteria that apply to the county -wide Certificate.
1. The "existing" and "new" notes on the west elevation are reversed. Please correct.
2. Update the lighting note with the current language: 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.
3. For the relocated light fixtures, add this note: Relocated fixtures are full cut -off, shoebox style with 250 -watt metal
halide lamps.
4. The proposed work is difficult to distinguish from the previously proposed work. Distinguish the proposed work more
clearly throughout the plan.
a. Revise the cover sheet to distinguish more clearly between the current amendment and the previous approval
and to clarify the landscape situation.
b. Distinguish the proposed grading and notes more clearly on SP1.3.
Within 15 days of the date of this letter, please send me a letter (by email is acceptable) indicating whether you will or
will not proceed with these revisions. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve
your application. If you choose to proceed with the revisions, please forward me one set of revised drawings together with
a memo summarizing the revisions you've made. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60 -day review
period associated with your original submittal. However, I expect to complete the review of your revised proposal within
2 weeks of your re- submittal.
Please note that Entrance Corridor planting guidelines include a requirement for interior and perimeter parking lot trees.
That requirement has not been applied in this case because of the limited visibility from Route 29. However, similar
standards may be applied through the Current Development division based on ordinance requirements.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your
revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
