RE: ARB-2018-103: Brookhill, Blocks 9, 10 and 11, Initial Site Development Plan
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday, August 20, 2018.
The Board unanimously voted to forward the following recommendations to the Agent for the Site Review Committee:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5) and recommended
conditions of initial plan approval:
o Prior to Initial Plan approval the following items shall be resolved to the satisfaction of the ARB:
• None. Note that a Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
o None.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
o Revise the plans to show adequate tree protection fencing.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
i. With the final site plan, submit architectural drawings for the residential units in Block 9 for review. The
architecture of Blocks 10 and 11 does not require ARB review due to anticipated limited visibility.
2. Provide in the site plan sufficient details to show that all proposed light fixtures meet the requirements of
the lighting ordinance.
3. Provide the landscape plan at the same scale as the rest of the site plan set.
4. Revise the site plan to show the 30' Rt. 29 buffer outside of the private lots.
5. Revise the site plan to show the frontage along Rt. 29 out to the street.
6. Include a complete plant schedule in the landscape plan.
7. Add the standard plant health note to the plan. "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to
reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be
pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant."
8. Revise the plans to show adequate tree protection fencing.
You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms, checklists and
schedules are available on-line at www.albemarle.org/ARB. Please be certain that your ARB submittal addresses the above -
noted issues.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Chief of Planning/Resource Management
