RE: ARB201600134 LIDL 1248 Richmond Road
Dear Craig,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on December 5, 2016, completed a review of the
above -noted request to construct a grocery store with associated site improvements. The Board took the action listed
below.
Following a discussion with the applicant about revisions made to the design, the ARB offered to hold a work
session in two weeks to address the following issues:
1. The taper in the retaining walls.
2. Adding climbing or cascading plants on the retaining walls.
3. Moving the development back on the site to increase planting area along Rt. 250.
4. Landscaping that meets the guidelines along the Rt. 250 frontage.
5. The screen on the south elevation: sample, cut sheet, photos, options for a fixed screen?
6. Further develop the scale and texture of south &;ade to further unify the building.
7. Consider the entrance for greater consistency with datums on the elevations and/or with procession.
Revised drawings addressing the above -noted issues will be needed. If you would like the work session to be held on
December 19, please provide electronic copies of revised drawings by noon on December 16 (at the latest). Also provide
six hard copies of the drawings at the meeting. Please contact me to confirm the work session date.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
