RE: ARB-2018-35: United Bank Landscape — Minor Amendment and LOR #1 to SDP-1998-151
Albemarle First Bank Final Site Plan
Dear Skeeter,
We have received the above -referenced County -Wide Certificate of Appropriateness application for a
minor amendment to a site plan, as well as the corresponding Letter of Revision application. Information
was missing from the submittal and review cannot proceed until the requested information is provided.
The outstanding issues are:
The landscape plan must be revised to include the following:
a. The size (in calipers) of the extant trees proposed to be removed;
b. A landscape schedule indicating plant species with common botanical names, quantity,
size at planting, and symbol used;
c. Location and height of above -ground utilities and associated easements, and location of
below -ground utilities and associated easements;
d. Tree protection fencing and limits of work on the landscape plan;
e. Location of the flag pole which is referenced in your narrative;
In addition, when the submitted landscape plan was compared to the landscape plan on file (SDP-1998-
151), a number of discrepancies were noted:
1. The sycamore trees named in the proposed landscape plan are listed as willow oaks in the 1998
landscape plan;
2. What is presently a lawn area on the building's west elevation is illustrated as a shrubbery bed in
the 1998 landscape plan;
3. The overall placement of trees across the site is not consistent between the proposed landscape
plan and the 1998 landscape plan.
The Letter of Revision is a tool which updates an approved plan on file; therefore, the proposed landscape
plan should closely reflect the existing landscape plan or make reference to it (for instance, if sycamores
were planted rather than the willow oaks listed on the approved 1998 landscape plan, please make note of
that; if the shrubbery on the west lawn was removed, please note and illustrate that in a lighter line
weight; etc.). I have scanned a copy of the 1998 landscape plan and attach it here for your reference.
Please respond by email within 15 days of the date of this letter indicating whether you will or will not
proceed with these revisions. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period
associated with your original submittal. If you choose to complete the revisions, please email the revised
drawings to me. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your
application. Failure to respond to this letter shall be presumed to be a request to proceed to action on the
application without further revisions.
If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
1-�4" pdlll�
