RE: ARB- 2012 -11: Shoppers World Renovation
Tax Map 61 Parcel 1 C1
Dear Mr. Hendrickson:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on March 5, 2012, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request to renovate the exterior of the shopping center. At Buildings A, B, C, D and
E, roofing shingles will be replaced, metal roofing panels will be painted, and bulkheads and miscellaneous
trim pieces will be painted. Building D renovation also includes the addition of three new tower elements (one
for each tenant), wood beams, trellises, and lighting.
The Board offered the following comments for the benefit of the applicant's next submittal. Please note that the
following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or
eliminated based on further review and changes to the plan.
1. Eliminate the center vertical element from the arched tower.
2. Provide an accurate elevation and perspective drawing showing the revised tower heights.
3. Revise the glass in the end towers to an alternate material other than EIFS.
4. Provide cut sheets and a luminaire schedule for all proposed light fixtures. Indicate fixture color, lamp
type, wattage. Ensure that the luminaire schedule is coordinated with the lighting elevations. If lamps
emit 3,000 lumens or more, ensure that full cutoff fixtures are proposed.
5. Update the comprehensive sign criteria for the Shoppers World Shopping Center to indicate that non -
illuminated tenant panel signs hung from the ceiling of the colonnade do not require ARB
review /approval and to indicate that signs may also be located on the faces of the tower elements of
Building D.
6. Consider greater coordination of center and end towers while reinforcing the individuality of the central
element. (This item may be reviewed in a work session.)
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms,
checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /ARB.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on
each drawing. Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been
addressed. 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.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
