RE: ARB- 2012 -40: Jason's Deli
Tax Map 61 M, Block 12, Parcel 1 C2
Dear Mr. Geis
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on May 7, 2012, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request to renovate the exterior of the Ragazzi's restaurant for Jason's Deli. 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. Revise the left elevation to reduce blankness using architectural, rather than graphic, solutions.
2. Indicate the type of window glass proposed. Provide specs. Show that reflectance off the outside pane will
be kept below 7 %. Note that heavy tints are generally not approved.
3. Add the following note to the elevation sheets: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance
Corridor shall be eliminated." Be sure the note appears on the drawings included with the building permit
application.
4. Add the following note to the drawings: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or
more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away
from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires
onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half
footcandle."
5. Revise the wall sign type to channel letters without a box or panel background.
6. The windows with the pictures are not appropriate. The left elevation with the EIFS "window" infill is more
appropriate than the one with the window graphics, but there is concern about having a window that isn't
really a window. Instead of windows, incorporating articulation that doesn't try to look like windows but
adds relief and shadow could be appropriate. Incorporating elements to establish a regular pattern that
breaks up the expanse of wall could be pursued; for example, a series of pilasters to divide the wall into
spaces. The addition of a lighting treatment on the left elevation could be appropriate. The raised parapet
on the left elevation is appropriate.
7. Revise the back of the raised parapets to match the colors of the front.
8. The signs with channel letters on panels are an appropriate type for the building
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.
