RE: ARB -2016-16: Crozet Business Office
Dear Mr. Keesecker,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
Monday, March 21, 2016. The Board, by a vote of 3:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative
approval of the following conditions:
1. Add the standard window glass note to the architectural drawings: "Window glass in the Entrance
Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below
40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%."
2. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
3. If lighting is proposed, include the fixture locations on the site and architectural drawings and
provide a photometric plan for review.
4. Show all new trees to be planted on site — not in the right-of-way. Eliminate the pipe conflict along
the frontage.
5. If existing trees are to be applied toward landscaping requirements, locate the individual trees on
the plan and identify size and species. Standard spacing for large EC frontage trees is 35' on
center.
6. Provide large frontage trees at a minimum of 3%" caliper at planting. The tree near the existing
pole can be a medium size or ornamental tree.
7. Intersperse ornamental trees among the large frontage trees.
8. Resolve the grading and wooded area conflict at the southeast comer of the property.
9. Add trees along the eastern edge of the paved area.
10. Provide a complete plant schedule for review.
11. Provide the standard plant health note on the 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."
12. Clarify the discrepancy between the drawing and the project description regarding the location of the
site entrance.
13. Show tree protection fencing on the plan.
14. Brick color shall coordinate with the approved brick for Restore'n Station with lighter color for the
storefront.
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 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.
