RE: ARB-2016-80: Old Trail Village Entrance
Dear Mr. Brockman,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 19, 2016, completed a preliminary review
of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regarding the conceptual design, the Board by a vote of 6:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors:
The ARB has no objection to the increased sign area up to 154 square feet and sign height not to exceed 15
feet for this particular sign design in this particular location, subject to ARB review of the materials, colors,
illumination and landscaping. These features shall reinforce an appropriate scale along the EC and shall be
consistent with all EC sign guidelines. Review of these items can be completed with the review of the sign
permit application. This application eliminates the possibility of having signage in addition to the two proposed.
Regarding the slan permit application, the ARB offers the following comments for the next submittal:
1. Limits on materials, colors, illumination, and the use of logos will be required to establish an appropriate
appearance for these signs in the Entrance Corridor.
2. With the sign application submittal, provide
a. The manufacturer's cut sheets for the proposed light fixtures. Indicate all options chosen. Show the
fixture locations on the plan.
b. A revised sign drawing that clearly indicates the proposed materials and colors and their locations on
the sign.
c. Provide material and color samples for review.
d. A landscape plan that integrates the signs into the surroundings and reinforces an appropriate scale
along the corridor.
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,
CWLa �Y,&L
