RE: ARB- 2011 -112: Stonefield Town Center
Dear Mr. Haine:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on December 19, 2011, held a work session
on Stonefield Town Center. Regarding signs and awnings, the ARB had the following comments:
1. The freestanding signs have an appropriate appearance for the EC.
2. The maximum allowable height for freestanding signs by ordinance at this time is 12'.
3. The guidelines limit sign colors to three.
4. The applicant should consult with staff to refine the proposal to meet the EC sign guidelines
regarding coordination of signs in multiple business centers.
5. The applicant should consider the colors of the Hyatt, Regal and Trader Joe's buildings when
determining and limiting possible colors for signs on the Town Center buildings.
6. On page 4 of the wall sign presentation, the cabinet sign with push through graphics option is less
appropriate than the first two options.
7. On page 6 of the wall sign presentation, in the canopy sign diagram, there is not enough clear
space above and below the letters.
Also at the December 19, 2011 meeting, the Architectural Review Board approved, by a vote of 3:1, the
proposed changes to Building A -5 in the Stonefield Town Center, with staff's administrative approval of the
following conditions:
1. A Lamboo awning shall be added the full length of the northern bay on the western elevation.
2. Any signs /posters installed in the display windows at the southeast corner of the building shall be
located a minimum of 36" from the window.
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.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
