Dear Mr. Myers:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
February 3, 2014. The Board, by a vote of 5:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the site and architectural plans: "Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
2. Revise the landscape schedule to show that at least 27 of the large shade trees along the EC will be
planted at 3'/2" caliper.
3. Clearly identify the location and length of the board fence on the plans. Provide a fence detail in the
plans.
4. Add the plant labels to the plant schedule.
5. Include the VR shrub in the plant schedule.
6. Revise the plant schedule to show shrubs along the EC at 24" minimum.
7. Consider a greater proportion of evergreen trees in the mix of plants along the EC frontage.
8. Revise the plant schedule to show interior road trees at 2'/2" caliper minimum.
9. Provide landscape plans with plant labels.
10. Add the standard plant 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."
11. Increase the number of shrub species so that no single shrub species exceeds 25% of the total number of
shrubs proposed for the site.
12. Round contours with a ten foot minimum radius where they meet the adjacent condition.
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.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staff's review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
