PROJECT HISTORY
The existing Ragazzi's building predates the establishment of Route 29 North as an Entrance Corridor. The ARB completed a preliminary
review of the proposal to renovate the building on May 7, 2012. The action letter from that meeting is included at the end of this report.
CHANGES SINCE THE LAST REVIEW
• The cylindrical wall light fixtures have been revised to dome style fixtures.
• Three options are proposed for addressing the blankness of the left elevation. All three options provide a bay that projects slightly from
the main wall and has a raised parapet. Options 1 and 2 include a series of EIFS panels reminiscent of filled window openings. Options 2
and 3 include four pilasters spaced across the length of the elevation. Each option includes wall lights.

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
7
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
