RE: ARB-2017-14: Scottsville Elementary School Addition
Dear Stephen,
We have received the above -noted application for a county -wide Certificate of Appropriateness. The following revisions
are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the County -wide Certificate.
1. Please add the following note to both the architectural and site plan drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment
from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
2. Please add the following note to the landscape plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach,
and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally
and only to support the overall health of the plant."
3. A note on the landscape plan near a maple tree symbol indicates "5" maples; however, 6 are listed in the schedule and
shown on the plan. Please correct/coordinate.
4. Note that new and replacement signs require a separate permit and review.
Within 15 days of the date of this letter, please send me a letter (by email is acceptable) indicating whether you will or
will not proceed with these revisions. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve
your application. If you choose to proceed with the revisions, please forward me one set of revised drawings together with
a memo summarizing the revisions you've made. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review
period associated with your original submittal. However, I expect to complete the review of your revised proposal within
2 weeks of your re -submittal.
If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your
revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
