1) County ARB staff had one comment on the site plan submittal which required a revision:

from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
Below are all of ARB's comments, which apply to the ARB submittal. Please direct all ARB related comments to
Margaret M. Maliszewski, Principal Planner 434 - 296 -5832 x3276 (attached is the resubmittal form for the ARB submittal)
I asked the ARB about the rooftop equipment and screen today and the Board gave the following direction:
1. The mechanical equipment should be centered over a (window) opening.
2. The screen should match the color of the roof.
3. The screen walls can be either straight or canted.
Based on my review of the submittal and the ARB's direction, the following revisions are requested to make the proposal
consistent with the design criteria that apply to the county -wide Certificate. I can approve the proposal when the following
changes are made:
1. Add notes to the elevation drawings indicating the existing and proposed materials and colors for the gables, the
trim and the roof.
2. Indicate on the plan the proposed color of the light poles and fixtures and indicate that the color will match the
existing poles and fixtures.
3. Revise the design to show the mechanical equipment /screen centered over a (window) opening.
4. Revise the mechanical equipment screen color to match the roof color. Indicate the roof color on the drawings and
include a note indicating that the mechanical screen will match the roof color.
5. Add the standard equipment note to both the site drawings and the architectural elevations: "Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
Within 15 days of the date of this message, please send me a return message indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
application. If you choose to proceed with the revisions, please forward me one set of revised drawings addressing these
comments together with the attached resubmittal form. Your decision to make the revisions suspends the 60 -day review
period associated with your original submittal. However, I expect to complete the review of your revised proposal shortly
after receiving your re- submittal.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your
revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
