RE: ARE-2016-22: Sunset Overlook
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on
Friday, April 1, 2016. The Board, by a vote of 3:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative
approval of the conditions listed below. A plan with the revision date of 5116/16 has been submitted.
Updated comments are provided within the underlined text below.
Identify existing individual large shade, evergreen and omamental trees to remain on the
plan by size and species to show that the minimum EC frontage tree requirement can be
met. If the requirement can't be met, show additional new trees to be planted to meet the
requirement. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Include a table for preserved trees
that are to meet the EC fronts - a tree re uirement. The table should specify the tree
symbol ex. QP) used in the plan, the botanical name, the common name, the quantity
and the trees should be categorized by tree type (ex. large shade trees, ornamental
trees, evergreen trees, etc). Label each preserved tree utilized to meet the EC frontage
tree re uirments with treesymbol and size. Trees within Lot g or Lot 10 can not count
toward this requirement. Move trees to be within the open space if they are to be part of
the EC frontage tree calculation.
2. If the existing trees within the open space along Rt. 631 are meant to be preserved add a
note specifying that. Rev. 1: When using preserved trees to meet the EC frontage tree
requirement preservation methods need to be utilized. Accurately represent the driplines
of any existinq tree being included in the calculation for the EC frontage tree requirement.
Grading and the limits of clearing and grading are shown within the dripline of some of
the trees that seem to be specified as being preserved. Preservation methods are
required when grade changes would otherwise impact the area within their dripline. Tree
wells are needed when the ground would otherwise be raised and tree walls are needed
when ground would otherwise be lowered, within the dripline of a preserved tree. If tree
wells or tree walls are to be utilized to preserve trees_ provide the required details for the
tree well and/or tree walls.

3. Adjust the tree protection fencing and/or the existing tree line so that they accurately
represent the extents of the retained existing wooded area. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed.
4. Modify the mechanical notes to state that the HVAC unit will be "... located in the north
side yard of the house or at the rear of the house screened or enclosed with a fence or
landscaping." Rev. 1: Comment Addressed.
5. Confirm there are no utilities or utility easements between the existing pedestrian trail
and lots 9 and 10. Show any utilities or easements if they exist. Rev. 1: Comment
Addressed.
6. Include a landscape calculation for the street trees along the interior streets and along
Sunset Avenue Extended. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Modify landscaping
note #3 to specify that the calculation is for "interior' street trees. Modify the required
tree counts in the notes by the streets so that they match the number of required trees
in note #3.
7. Add at least one medium shade trees along the proposed pedestrian path in the open
space area between the existing wooded area and the cul-de-sac and lots 9 and 10.
Rev. 1: Comment Addressed.
8. Design the pedestrian connector to the asphalt path to minimize its impact on the buffer
and existing landscape. Show details for any stairs and railings that are required for the
proposed pedestrian path. Rev. 1: Consider revising the design of the stairs and railings
for the pedestrian connection to Old LynchburgLynchbung Road to utilize materials that would
reduce future maintenance requirements and issues.
9. Show the tree protection fencing on the grading and erosion and sediment control
sheets. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed.
10. Add a mix of native plantings or maintain existing plant material to ensure a screen of the
southwest corner of the development from the EC. Rev. 1: Move the proposed pin oak to
be fully within the open space and not on the edge of the Lot 10 property line. Trees
within Lot 10 cannot be counted towards this requirement.
11. Move the Limits of Clearing and Grading and Tree Protection Fencing note for the
wooded area along the EC so that it points at the protective fencing. If the limits and the
fencing are not in the same place clarify the notes and lines. Rev. 1: Comment
Addressed.
