RE: ARB201400108 Westgate Clubhouse & Office Renovations
Dear Mr. Mitchell:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
September 15, 2014. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Revise the elevations to indentify all building materials and colors, including siding, roofing, porch
elements, window elements, etc.
2. Revise the plan to accurately show existing site elements (curb lines, parking, dumpster, trees, shrubs,
mechanical equipment, retaining walls, etc.) in the area immediately surrounding the additions, from the
swimming pool, to the curbs on the south and west sides of the building, to Hydraulic Road.
3. Provide the window glass note on the architectural drawings. Window glass in the Entrance Corridors
should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40 %. Visible light
reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30 %.
4. Revise the site plan to show the current and proposed locations of the dumpster and mechanical
equipment. Use site features to screen the equipment to eliminate views from the EC.
5. Accurately show the location of the concrete retaining wall on both the elevations and the site plan.
6. Revise the site plan and architectural drawings to include the standard mechanical equipment note:
Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
7. Indicate if any new site or building lights are proposed, or if any existing lighting is to be changed. If new
lighting or changes are proposed, provide a complete lighting plan for review.
8. Revise the site plan to include all existing landscaping in the area immediately surrounding the building,
from the swimming pool, to the curbs on the south and west sides of the building, to Hydraulic Road.
9. Revise the site plan to show all existing landscaping that will be impacted by the proposal and indicate the
size and species of the plants replacing the vegetation in those impacted areas.
10. Revise the site plan to include a conservation checklist for all vegetation located in the area around the
building and identify new plants replacing existing vegetation.
11. Provide the plant health note on the plan.
12. Revise the plan to show the proposed grading associated with the additions.
13. Revise site plan to include tree protection fencing.
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,
Margaret Maliszewski
