RE: ARB- 2011 -93: Hyatt Place at Stonefield
Tax Map 61W, Section 3, Parcel 19B
Dear Mr. Macfarlane,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 16, 2013, discussed the
status of the appearance of the copper panels installed at the Hyatt in the Stonefield development and took
the following action:
The Alpolic copper composite panels installed on the Hyatt at Stonefield are not the copper panels
that were approved with the Certificate of Appropriateness issued on November 1, 2011 and upheld
by the ARB's action on November 21, 2012, and they do not have the appearance of un -aged copper
that will weather to aged copper, as approved. The ARB, therefore, withholds approval of these
panels at this time. However, the ARB is willing to wait up to 1 year to allow the aging process to
continue. If the panels still do not have the anticipated appearance of aged copper or un -aged copper
that will weather to aged copper, then the panels shall be removed and replaced with an ARB -
approved panel, or, at the ARB's discretion, the existing panels shall be treated to achieve the
appearance of aged copper. The ARB asks that this be made a condition of the Certificate of
Occupancy and that the County hold a bond to ensure that this work will be completed.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
