RE: ARB-2017-17: 2511 Avinity Drive
Dear Mr. Shimp,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on March 6, 2017, completed
an advisory review of the above -noted request to rezone the property to Planned Residential
District (PRD) to allow the construction of two apartment buildings on .91 acres.
The Board by a vote of 3:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the Planning
Commission:
The ARB expresses no objection to the special use permit/rezoning, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Revise the application plan to indicate that stormwater facilities will be located under the
parking lot.
2. Confirm that there are no utilities or easements on the property that would conflict with
required planting. If such elements do exist, revise the plan to provide planting area clear
of utilities and easements.
3. Adjust site elements to provide planting area consistently along the south side of the
parking lot.
4. In the event that the proposal moves forward, ensure that trees are provided sufficient to
meet Entrance Corridor perimeter and interior parking lot requirements.
5. Allow for the possibility of increasing the setback on the northern property line
depending on the need for Iandscaping along the building elevations.
6. Revise the Application Plan to show the approved landscaping along Avinity Drive for
context and coordination.
7. Provide a pedestrian connection to Avinity Drive and Avon Street.
8. Reorganize site elements for better coordination of existing and proposed open space.
You may submit your application for preliminary ARB review at your earliest convenience.
Application forms, checklists and schedules are available on-line at www.albemarle.ory,/ARB.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
