Additional information on the proposed pole lights is required: legible cut sheet, manufacturer's information confirming that the fixture is a full cutoff fixture or uses a lamp that emits less than 3000 lumens as defined by the Albemarle County zoning ordinance, photometric information. 2. Some plants on the landscape plan are labeled NJQ, but NJQ does not appear in the plant list. Please correct. 3. Several groups of 4 plants along the entrance drive are labeled as 9 ICA. Please clarify. 4. Add the following note to the landscape plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant." 5. Increase the minimum height of the ICA and NHD located along the entrance drive to 24" high minimum at planting and adjust the plan and plant list accordingly. 6. A group of 6 plants (probably ICA) located near the middle of the Dogwood row on the south side of the entrance drive are not labeled. Please add the plant identification on the plan and update the plant list. 7. Please submit a revised plan as an ARB application for a Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a minor amendment, and provide the corresponding submittal checklist. Applications and checklists are available at www.albemarle.org/arb.
