RE: ARB -2015-153: Adelaide Rezoning
Dear Mr. Shimp,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on April 18, 2016, completed a
preliminary review of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the Rezoning, 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. Remove from the application plan the two stormwater facility options that are located in the
buffer along the Entrance Corridor (EC).
2, Provide architectural design of the buildings that acknowledge the frontage on the Rt. 250
Entrance Corridor (EC).
Regarding the Preliminary Site Plan, the Board made the following comments and suggestions for the
benefit of the applicant's next submittal.
The ARB offers the following comments for future site plan submittals:
1. ARB review and approval is required for the architectural designs of the residential units,
excluding single family detached units. Note that elevations visible from the EC will need to be
fully designed with a sufficient amount of architectural detailing, and materials, colors, scale and
proportion, without blankness, to create an appropriate appearance for the EC.
2. Show shrubs at the east and west ends of the block of development adjacent to the EC to screen
accessory structures and equipment from the EC.
3. Large trees are required along interior roads, 2'/" caliper at planting, spaced 40' on center.
4. Show shrubs to limit the view of parked cars from the EC.
5. Show individual trees to remain in the buffer along the EC frontage, appropriate tree protection,
new trees to create an integrated buffer, and a tree conservation plan.
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
Principal Planner
