RE: ARB201500016 CMA Properties
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on February 17, 2015, completed a review of
the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the Special Use Permit, the Board by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following recommendation to
the Planning Commission:
The ARB expresses no objection to the special use permit, subject to the following conditions:
1. Vehicles shall not be elevated anywhere on site.
2. Vehicles shall be displayed only in areas indicated as "inventory" on the plan entitled "CMA Properties
Highway Commercial Concept Plan" by Collins Engineering with revision date of 1 -30 -2015. Inventory
parking within the EC Overlay District shall be only in designated striped parking spaces, as identified
on this plan.
3. Final site plan approval is subject to ARB approval of the lighting plan (submitted with the site plan).
Maximum light levels shall not exceed 30 footcandles.
4. Final site plan approval is subject to ARB approval of the landscape plan (submitted with the site
plan). Landscaping shown on the plan may be required to be in excess of the minimum requirements
of ARB guidelines and /or the Zoning Ordinance to mitigate visual impacts of the proposed use.
5. Clarify on the plan all site elements to be included in Phase 1 and Phase 2. If the stormwater pond is
constructed in Phase 1, indicate that the trees along the southern perimeter of the site will also be
installed in Phase 1.
Regarding the Intial Site Plan, the Board made the following comments and suggestions for the benefit
of the applicant's next submittal.
1. Note that the standard lighting note will need to appear on the site plan: "Each outdoor luminaire
equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall
be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from
adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential
or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
2. Note that the standard plant health note will need to appear on the site 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. Identify on the site plan which existing trees, if any, are to remain. Show those trees at their current
size and show tree protection fencing for those trees. Coordinate additional landscaping proposed
along the southern property line with the trees to remain.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms,
checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /ARB.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on
each drawing. Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been
addressed. 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.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
