RE: ARB201600123 Better Living Berkmar Drive — Final
Dear Mr. Gaines
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
November 7, 2016. The Board, by a vote of 4:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Provide on the site plan and the architectural plans the heights of each of the proposed buildings.
2. Provide a gutter color that is consistent with the unpainted concrete. The distance from the EC in
this instance mitigates the use of the unpainted concrete.
3. Specify on the architectural plan the roofing materials for each of the buildings within the project.
Use a darker roof color for buildings D and E.
4. On the "Typical Panel Elevation" and "Building A Office / Retail Elevations" change "West
Window" to "West Window Corp." in the labels.
5. Provide the standard window glass note on the Building A elevations, "Visible light transmittance
(VLT) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%."
6. If Building B will be visible from the EC revise the building design to be integrated and
harmonious with the other buildings within the proposed development.
7. Add a label for the rectangle on the south side of the gate. If it is mechanical equipment eliminate
its visibility from the EC.
8. In the site plan or architectural plan provide the material and color for the dumpster enclosure.
9. Include plant name labels for the plant symbols on the plan or use symbols that are easily
identifiable on the printed plan.
10. If the "New l 5' VDOT Access Easement" shown within TMP 45-68C1 is to replace the access
easement from Berkmar Drive to TMP 45-68C1, then specify on the site plan that the existing
easement is to be vacated. Otherwise, relocate the proposed trees to be outside of the existing
access easement.
11. Revise the landscaping plan so that no one species comprises more than 25% of the total proposed
plantings for that plant type.
12. Include a retaining wall section that shows the widths of the retaining walls, encompassing any
shift from the top of wall to the bottom of the wall, in the plan. Include in the detail a minimum
width between retaining walls and the proposed guardrail of 3'.
13. Provide updated site sections to confirm that Building B will not be visible from the EC, as
follows: One section similar to Section B provided for the Initial Site Plan but with the view
looking north and with Shed E visible in the background. A second section similar to Section D
provided for the Initial Site Plan but with the section line being moved further east, so that it cuts
through both Building'B and Storage Shed E, and with the view looking east so that Building C is
visible in the background.
14. Increase the height of the evergreen plants adjacent to Building C from 4' to 6'.
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 staff s 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.
