RE: ARB- 2012 -12: Kroger Fuel Center
Dear Ali,
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 building located behind another building. The following
revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the county-
wide Certificate.
1. ARB Fuel Canopy Guidelines recommend a maximum height of 14'- 6" to the bottom of the fascia
and a maximum fascia height of 3'. Drawings included in this proposal show a 3.5' tall canopy fascia,
and your email of January 5, 2012 requested a maximum height of 16' (to bottom of fascia) due to
issues with clearance, the 1 foot grade change and the canopy's lack of slope. Staff has determined
the additional height for both would not be detectable from the Entrance Corridor due to the distance
and structures /vegetation in between. However, contrary to your request, sheet Albemarle CO, VA
Kroger Fuel Center R -334 shows a proposed 19' maximum height to the bottom of the canopy fascia
and Sheet A2.0 Exterior Elevations and Signage shows a 14' — 6" minimum distance. Revise both
drawings to show a maximum height of 16' to the bottom of the fascia
2. ARB Guidelines recommend that canopy fascias not be illuminated. The drawings included in this
application do not address this guideline. Revise sheet Albemarle CO, VA Kroger Fuel Center R -334
to include a note indicating that the canopy fascia shall not be illuminated.
3. The location of tree protection fencing is shown on Sheet LA -1 Landscape Plan but not on the
grading plan or erosion control plan. Revise the grading plan and erosion control plans to show the
proposed location of tree protection fencing.
The following issues relate to signage and would need to be addressed before a sign permit/application
could be approved.
1. Stewart Wright, Permit Planner (434- 296 -5832 x 3024, swright2 @albemarle.org ) can advise you as
to whether or not your sign proposal meets the sign ordinance requirements (max. square feet and
height permitted, setbacks from property line etc). Please contact him. Note: he will require more
information than you have provided in this application.
2. Canopy Wall/logo Sign
• Pantone color numbers were not included on the sign drawing
• Dimensions not provided for logo and the text/numbers in the gas pricing
• Bulb type for gas pricing not indicated on drawing. If LED, the following note regarding intensity
is required:
Daytime intensity limited to 70% of maximum intensity; Nighttime intensity limited to 16% of
maximum intensity with automatic dimming at dusk.
• ARB Sign Guidelines require that the background of the sign pricing cabinet be opaque; notation
indicating that is required on the drawing.
3. Freestanding Sign
• Pantone color numbers and proposed sign /cabinet materials were not included on the sign
drawing.
• A drawing showing the location of the proposed sign, property lines and existing landscaping was
not provided. This drawing needs to be in a large enough scale to be readable and show the sign
setback.
• Dimensions (length & height) for logo and text not provided on drawing.
• Method of illumination, including bulb type, not indicated on drawing. ARB Sign Guidelines
require that the background of the sign be opaque; notation indicating that is required on the
drawing. Depending on the degree of visibility from the Entrance Corridor, it may be required
that the logo be non - illuminated. If LED lighting is proposed the sign drawing must state The
level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a
single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
Within 15 days of the date of this letter, please send me a letter (an email message 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 and the attached resubmittal form. 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.
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,
Brent W. Nelson
Planner
