Dear Mr. Borches:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
October 17, 2011. The Board, by a vote 3:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions:
1. Provide for review names, numbers and samples for all proposed materials /colors. Ensure that the
samples accurately reflect the level of reflectivity at the entrance element. Materials presented at the
10/17/11 meeting are appropriate.
2. Indicate on the drawings the type of glass proposed and provide specifications showing that
reflectance off the outside pane is below 7 %. Indicate if the glass is to be tinted. If it is, provide a
sample. Note that only minimal tints have been approved in the past.
3. Confirm in writing that no new equipment and no changes to existing equipment are proposed, either
on the ground or on the building. Or, revise the drawings to show the equipment in appropriate
locations, adequately screened.
4. Add this note to the architectural and site plans: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
5. Indicate that no new or revised building or site lighting is proposed, or provide complete information
on all new lighting proposed for the walls of the building, the rooftop parking deck, and the site. Show
locations on the site plan and /or building elevations. Include catalog cut sheets on the site plan.
Provide a luminaire schedule. Provide complete information on the light fixtures indicating that they
meet ordinance requirements.
6. Identify on the plan the size and species of the existing trees to be removed and replaced.
7. Provide complete information on the proposed wall signs for review.
8. Identify on the drawings the material and color of the element on which the "Nissan" and "Colonial"
signs are to be installed. Provide a detail illustrating how it is attached to the building.
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.
