RE: ARB- 2012 -107: VA Dept of Forestry (Verizon) Buckingham Circle Tier 3 PWSF - (Tax Map
76, Parcel 17A)
Dear Mr. Waller:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on October 1, 2012, took the following
actions on the above -noted application.
Regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness for the ground equipment and base station, the
Board, by a vote of 3:0, approved the Certificate of Appropriateness as proposed.
Regarding visibility of the monopole, the Board, by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following recommendation
to the Planning Commission:
The ARB finds that in the proposed location the measures taken by utilizing the monopine treatment
for the pole minimizes visibility such that no significant negative impact on the Entrance Corridor will
be created.
In addition, the ARB forwarded the following comments to the Plannig Commission:
The ARB would bring to the attention of the Planning Commission that this opinion is specific to this
site and this treatment, and does not endorse this monopine treatment to be used on a wider scale in
circumstances where the pole exceeds the recommended height above the surrounding trees.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
