RE: ARB- 2013 -162: Northside Library
Dear Mr. Shook,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
December 2, 2013. The Board, by a vote of 5:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Revise the design drawings of the drive -by, the clerestory glazing and the dumpster enclosure to
more thoroughly integrate and be consistent with the detailing and design of the rest of the project.
The signage shown on the drawings should reflect the hierarchy of the building elements.
2. Revise the plan to include all proposed lighting and related details.
3. Ensure the photometrics are calculated using a maintenance factor of 1.0. Indicate the maintenance
factor on the plan.
4. Revise the plans to identify the color of the light poles and fixtures. Dark bronze is recommended.
5. Limit overall light pole height (including bases) to 20'.
6. Indicate the height of the overhead lines along the EC frontage for coordination. Show easement on
the plan and related documentation from Virginia Power.
7. On the landscape plan, provide the quantity of the proposed species in the call -outs and /or use
consistent symbols for each type of plant proposed.
8. Include proposed planting heights in the landscape schedule.
9. Coordinate all landscaping with utilities and easements.
10. Show how the grading will be accomplished to maintain the health of the white pines and mulberry
identified as "to remain" on the west side of the building, or propose replacement landscaping.
11. Coordinate the various sheets of the plan regarding the sidewalk layout.
12. Add the standard equipment note to the site plan and the architectural drawings: "Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
13. Add the standard lighting note to the plan: "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 luminaries onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not
exceed one half footcandle."
14. Add the standard landscape note to the 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."
15. Make all drawings consistent regarding the canopy.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. 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.
