RE: ARB- 2011 -93: Hyatt: Copper
Dear Mr. Bhatt,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on March 17, 2014, addressed issues related
to the Hyatt copper panels. The ARB approved the copper panels, noting the following clarifications:
1. The color of the copper sheet in the mock -up viewed in March 2014 is acceptable.
2. The method of installation proposed in the upper two panels representing cladding the existing
panels with the same size copper sheet in a manner similar to the method utilized in installing the
original panels is approved.
3. The mock -up is not a representation of acceptable workmanship or quality of installment.
4. A butt joint seen in the mock up is not acceptable. All panels need to be one piece without any
joints.
5. Workmanship and quality of installation will be as specified in the original documents and as
normally expected of such installations.
6. Joints between the panels at the existing locations will be re- sealed with the appropriate sealant
as approved for the original installation. Joints may be slightly smaller than original due to the
over - cladding method, but no smaller than 3/8" in width.
7. Provide a detail showing how the new copper panels will be installed, for staff review.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
