Box 400218 Charlottesville, VA 22904 RE: ARB -2017-52: UVA Indoor Golf Facility at Birdwood Dear Chris, We have received a revised site plan for the UVA Indoor Golf Facility at Birdwood, submitted for SDP -2017-19, and have reviewed it as per ARB -2017-52. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the County -wide Certificate. 1. The following note should be added to the site and architectural plans: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated. 2. The landscape plan must include the standard plant health note: All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. 3. A revised lighting plan in which: a. Cut sheets for all lighting fixtures are provided on a separate sheet in the site plan set. b. Mounting heights of light poles are given in which the base heights are included and specified. c. The color of the lighting fixtures are noted. Bronze or black are approvable in the EC overlay district. d. The standard lighting note is included on the plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3, 000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads andproperty in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one- halffootcandle. e. The lighting and landscape plans are coordinated to ensure that there are no potential siting conflicts with lighting fixture placement and proposed and extant landscaping and utilities. There is a potential conflict with a proposed Red Maple and a light fixture on the southwest corner of the proposed parking area. f. The size and shape of the proposed parking area is consistent with other site plan drawings.
