RE: ARB201600126 Flow Automotive Audi Showroom
Dear Mr. Keesecker,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on December 5, 2016, held a work session on the
above -noted item. The ARB had the following comments:
1. The design option presented at the meeting (not included in the emailed information) was preferred over the
others. This design eliminated the metal from the exterior elevations.
2. A mottled brick (multiple colors of brick) is preferred to all white brick. Detailing of the brick (a brick cap,
the design of the coursing or joints, etc.) might also be pursued to relieve the stark white appearance.
3. Maintain the planting area between the front parking area and the western retaining wall.
4. Use landscaping at the base of the retaining wall to soften the edge.
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.ore/ARB.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above, and those from previous review(s), 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
