RE: ARB-2016-154: Happy Boxes
Dear Mr. Stoneking,
Fax 434 972-4126
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on January 17, 2017, completed a review of
the above -noted request to construct an indoor storage facility with associated site improvements. It was the
consensus of the ARB that the applicant should return on February 6, 2017 for a work session to review revised
proposal(s) to address the following issues related to the back portion of the west elevation:
1. the homogenous color, the impact of color on the building mass
2. the monolithic color and texture
3. the blank wall, the lack of architectural detail
4. the lack of planting, the possibility of eliminating a parking space to increase planting area
5. the need to further break down the scale
6. the possibility of distinguishing the building forms by material
Revised drawings addressing the above -noted issues will be needed. If you would like the work session to be
held on February 6, 2017, please provide electronic copies of revised drawings by noon on February 3, 2017 (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,
