LeClair Ryan 123 E Main St, 8th Floor Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: ARB-2017-73: Stony Point Volunteer Fire Co. PWSF Tier 3 Dear Ms. Schweller, The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on September 18, 2017, reviewed the above noted petition to establish a telecommunications facility consisting of a 135' steel monopole with associated equipment. The ARB took the following actions: Regarding the ground equipment and base station The Board, by a vote of 4:0, approved the application as proposed. Regarding the visibility of the monopole The Board, by a vote of 4:0, forwarded the following recommendation to the agent: 1. The ARB finds that the proposed location will sufficiently minimize the visibility of the monopole from the Entrance Corridor. 2. The ARB has no objection to the requests for the special exceptions. You may consider this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness for the ground equipment and base station. This approval is specifically conditioned on the following: 1. Execution of the design indicated on the final approved plans, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal items presented. 2. Mechanical equipment shall not be visible from the Entrance Corridor. If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.

Comments for the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as applicable, are provided below: Albemarle County Division of Planning Services (Planner) - Christopher Perez [5.1.40(b)2(c), 5.1.40(a)12] Projection. You have requested a special exception (SE) to the flush mount provisions of the ordinance to allow the closest point of the back of the antenna to project more than the permitted twelve (12) inches from the monopole. The request specifies eighteen (18) inches from the monopole. However, you have not requested a maximum standoff distance for the farthest point of the back of the antenna. The ordinance permits eighteen (18) inches. Based on the drawings it appears you are requesting a twenty-four (24) inch standoff distance for the farthest point of the back of the antenna. Please verify. If this is correct, please revise sheet Z-5 to depict and label the dimensions for the maximum standoff distance for all antenna on the facility. Additionally, revise the SE request (pg 10 of the application) to mention this for the file. 2. [5.1.40(b)(11)] Fencing. Based on the location of the facility (near the school, and adjacent to residential properties) the fencing shall be provided with brown or green privacy weave. Specify this feature on the plans. [5.1.40(a)4(a), 5.1.40(a)4(f), 5.1.40(b)31 Existing and proposed improvements (significant natural features), (trees), and (tree conservation plan). To aid in screening and to help minimize visibility of the facility. On the site plan depict existing wooded area to remain on the fire station property within a 174' of the facility to the adjacent residential properties TMP 48-18B2, TMP 48- 18B3, and 156.3' of the facility to the adjacent residential properties TMP 48-21. This area of the site shall be included on a tree conservation plan as tree preservation area (see diagram of the area4). Requested tree preservation area. 4. [5.1.40(a)(4)(e)] Topography. Sheet Z-IA does not provide topography of 2,000 feet in all directions of the facility. Respectably it depicts 1,400' North, 1,200' West, 500' South, and 1,200' East. Additionally, the sheet is not legible as it is very blurry. Please revise. 5. [5.1.40(a)6(e)] Photographs. The applicant shall identify the camera type, film size, and focal length of the lens for each photograph. Please specify this information. If digital, please state such. 6. [Comment] Revise the Zoning of the parcel, currently it is listed as R-2; however, it is truly Village Residential (VR), Entrance Corridor (EC), and Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District. 7. [Comment] Revise the site plan sheet legend to account for the new sheet (Z-12 Tree Survey — Trees to Remain). 8. [5.1.40(b)(1)(b)] Outdoor Lighting. On the plans please specify whether or not lighting is proposed. Albemarle County Division Architectural Review Board (ARB) — Margaret Maliszewski 1. This proposal will be reviewed by the ARB on September 18. ARB comments and recommendations will be provided after that meeting. Albemarle County Engineering Division (Engineer) — Frank Pohl 1. Considering 17,499 sf of land disturbance is proposed, a VSMP permit will be required (17-302). Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) - Alex Morrison Comments not provided; however, the site is outside of any ACSA service district. As such staff does not believe comments will be forthcoming. If comments are received staff will forward them to the applicant. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) — Adam Moore 1. An ingress/egress access easement for the proposed 10' wide gravel drive will be needed to be shown on plat.

Action after Receipt of Comments At a minimum staff requires Planning comment #1 be addressed prior to requesting a PC public hearing. Without this information, staff cannot recommend approval of the SE or the SP. The tentative PC public hearing date was October 10, 2017; however, notification fees for this meeting are needed by noon of Sept 15, additionally the ARB meeting is not till Sept 18. As such, it is not appropriate to continue with the previous tentative PC date. Rather, the November 14' PC meeting date is the next appropriate date for this public hearing, which will push back the tentative BOS date to Dec 13th. After you have read this letter, please take one of the actions identified on "Action after Receipt of Comment Letter" which is attached. Resubmittal When you resubmit, please use the attached form.

The application fee which you paid covers staff review of the initial submittal and one resubmittal. Each subsequent resubmittal requires an additional fee. (See attached Fee Schedule.) (2) Request Indefinite Deferral If you plan to resubmit after 30 days from the date of the comment letter, you need to request an indefinite deferral. Please provide a written request and state your justification for requesting the deferral. (Indefinite deferral means that you intend to resubmit/request a public hearing be set with the Planning Commission after the 30 day period.) (3) Request Planning Commission Public Hearing Date be Set At this time, you may schedule a public hearing with the Planning Commission. However, we do not advise that you go directly to public hearing if staff has identified issues in need of resolution that can be addressed with a resubmittal. After outstanding issues have been resolved and/or when you are ready to request a public hearing, staff will set your public hearing date for the Planning Commission in accordance with the Planning Commission's published schedule and as mutually agreed by you and the County. The staff report and recommendation will be based on the latest information provided by you with your initial submittal or resubmittal. Please remember that all resubmittals must be made on or before a resubmittal date. By no later than twenty-one (2 1) days before the Planning Commission's public hearing, a newspaper advertisement fee and an adjoining owner notification fee must be paid.

Payment for an additional newspaper advertisement is also required twenty- two (22) days prior to the Board of Supervisors public hearing. These dates are provided on the attached Legal Ad Payments for Public Hearings form. Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the Planning Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The only exception to this rule will be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the project proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff that have not previously been brought to the applicant's attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the Planning Commission meeting. (4) Withdraw Your Application If at any time you wish to withdraw your application, please provide your request in writing. Failure to Respond If we have not received a response from you within 30 days, we will contact you again. At that time, you will be given 10 days to do one of the following: a) request withdrawal of your application, b) request deferral of your application to a specific Planning Commission date as mutually agreed to with staff, or c) request indefinite deferral and state your justification for requesting the deferral. If none of these choices is made within 10 days, staff will schedule your application for a public hearing based on the information provided with your original submittal or the latest submittal staff received on a resubmittal date.
