RE: ARB201500014 Foothill Crossings II
Dear Mr. Collins,
At its meeting on Monday, March 2, 2015, the Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, by a vote of
4:0, voted to forward the following recommendations on the above -noted Initial Site Development Plan to
the agent for the Site Review Committee as follows:
Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18- 30.6.4(2), (3) and (5):
1. Provide a row of large trees along the northern property line, 40' on center, 2'/2" caliper at planting.
Ensure that planting area is clear of utilities and easements, and that it is fully coordinated with
retaining walls.
Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
None.
Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
1. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
2. Provide architectural designs and site sections for review with the next submittal. If the sections
confirm limited visibility, architectural review will be limited to roof form, materials and colors.
3. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to both the site and architectural plans: "Visibility of all
mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
4. Provide a row of large trees along the northern property line, 40' on center, 2'/2" caliper at planting.
Ensure that planting area is clear of utilities and easements, and that is fully coordinated with retaining
walls.
5. Provide a complete plant schedule on the site plan.
6. Add the standard plant health note to 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."
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
None.
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.orq /ARB. Please be certain that your ARB
