RE: ARB201400090 Acme Stove and Fireplace Center
Dear Scott:
Fax (434) 972 -4126
I have reviewed the plans with the revision date of November 4, 2014 submitted for the above referenced
project. I have the following comments.
1. Your memo indicated that architectural plans were revised to indicate that the oak used to wrap the
steel columns will be stained or otherwise treated to ensure sustainability of the material. The
architectural plans were not submitted for review, so the completion of this item cannot be confirmed.
Please submit the architectural plans with a revised trellis detail indicating that the oak used to wrap
the steel columns will be stained or otherwise treated to ensure sustainability of the material.
2. The following revisions to the lighting plan are required:
a. Indicate on the plan the lamp type for fixture 2.
b. Include on the plan a diagram of fixture 2 showing that it is a full cutoff fixture.
c. Indicate on the plan that a maintenance factor of 1.0 has been used to calculate the
photometrics for fixture 2.
d. Indicate on the plan the proposed color of each fixture type.
e. If the spot lights (fixture 1) are intended to illuminate a sign on the EC facing wall (not the
tower), include a note on the plan indicating that these fixtures will be aimed so as not to
project their output beyond an approved wall sign. (Note that approval of the lights does not
imply approval of any particular wall sign and illumination of the wall without a sign is not
approved. A separate sign permit application is required.)
f. Replace the contour line photometric plan with a point -by -point calculation grid so maximum
light levels can be more easily and accurately determined.
g. Light levels are excessive at each location of fixture 3. EC guidelines state: "Light levels
exceeding 30 footcandles are not appropriate for display lots in the ECs. Lower light levels
will apply to most other uses in the ECs." Maximum levels not exceeding 20 footcandles is
typical in the ECs. Please revise the plan accordingly.
h. Indicate on the plan the light levels directly under each location of fixture 2.
i. Please indicate the purpose of fixture 4 (is it specifically to illuminate signs on the tower ?)
and explain why the spread of light from that fixture, which appears to be pointed back
towards the tower, is significantly broader than that of any other proposed fixture.
Please forward me one set of revised drawings — site and architectural - together with the attached
resubmittal form and a memo summarizing the revisions you've made. If changes other than those
requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo. Highlighting the changes in the drawing
with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval. When staffs 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
