Tax Map 60, Parcel 57
Dear Mr. Gloeckner:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
November 17, 2008. The Board, by a vote of 3:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval
of the following conditions:
1. Revise the planting along Faulconer Drive and along the playing fields and parking lot to a mix of
evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs in a naturalistic pattern. Increase the number of species to
avoid overplanting of a single species.
2. Add the following 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."
3. If proposed trees are shown on plans other than the landscape plan(s), revise the plans to show the trees
exactly as shown on the landscape plan(s). Provide a single plant list /schedule. Include utility lines and
utility easements on the site and landscape plans and make sure they are easily legible. Double -check
and correct if necessary the quantity of Redbuds on the landscape plan and plant list. Clarify on the plans
how the ivy planting will be handled.
4. Revise the site plans to make them all easily legible and fully coordinated. Show the Bypass right -of -way
on the drawings.
5. Revise the site and landscape plans to show the proposed tree line to remain and tree protection. Revise
the plans to consistently show the existing vegetated area along the EC right -of -way, changing the symbol
as needed on larger scale sheets to maintain readability.
6. Revise the Arborvitae planting at the southeast corner of the site to a mixed planting of trees and shrubs
to better coordinate with the adjacent wooded area.
7. Revise the plan to show that fixtures A and D emit less than 3,000 lumens or are full cutoff fixtures.
8. Add the following 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. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and
property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
9. Revise the Luminaire Schedule to provide and /or clarify the following information:
• The information under "Lamp" for fixture A.
• The "HOR3" designation under "Catalog Number" for fixture A.
• The "UNV" designation under "Catalog Number" for fixture D.
• The color /finish for fixtures A and D.
• The height of fixture A.
• The quantity of fixture A. There appears to be 30 on the plan and 31 in the schedule.
10. Revise the Arborvitae at the kitchen service area to a smaller species.
11. Provide detail drawings on the chimneys for review, ensuring that they are compatible with the overall
building and that their materials and colors do not increase noticeability. Indicate on the drawings all
proposed locations for mechanical equipment and provide details on all proposed methods of screening.
12. Reduce the size of the round window in the library gable end and consider reducing the size of the gable.
Choose a darker shade of gray for the roof, and provide samples for review. Submit a color sample for the
Benjamin Moore "marble white" to match the approved stucco sample. Reduce the reflectivity of the
roofing material.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel.
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.
