RE: ARB -2017-52: UVA Indoor Golf Facility at Birdwood
Dear Chris,
We have received the above -noted application for a county -wide Certificate of Appropriateness for Structures Located
750' or More from the Entrance Corridor. The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the
design criteria that apply to the County -wide Certificate.
Site plans to scale (1" = 20').
a. The following note should be added to the site and architectural plans: Visibility of all mechanical equipment
form the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
A landscape plan which includes a plant schedule listing proposed species and calipers.
a. 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.
A revised photometric plan in which:
a. Illumination values do not exceed 20 footcandles, which is the maximum level of allowable illumination in
the Entrance Corridor overlay district. The highest value on the current lighting plan is 32.2 footcandles (fc).
b. Cut sheets for all lighting fixtures are provided on a separate sheet in the site plan set.
c. Mounting heights of light poles are given in which the base heights are included and specified.
d. The color of the lighting fixtures are noted. Bronze or black are approvable.
e. 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 fi^om adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting fi°om
luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-
half footcandle.
£ Confirms on the plan that the LLF (maintenance factor) used in calculating the photometrics is 1.0 for all
proposed light fixtures.
g. Correlates the lighting and landscape plans to ensure that there are no potential siting conflicts with lighting
fixture placement and proposed and extant landscaping and utilities.
