  • City Council Agenda
    CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Agenda Date: August 20, 2012 Action Required: Approve the 2012 Architectural Design Control (ADC) Districts Design Guidelines (5-Year Update) as recommended by the Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review (BAR) Presenter: Mary Joy Scala, Preservation & Design Planner, City of Charlottesville Staff Contacts: Jim Tolbert, Director, Neighborhood Development Services Title: 2012 Architectural Design Control (ADC) Districts Design Guidelines (5-Year Update) Background: The current ADC Districts Design Guidelines were adopted by City Council on October 17, 2005. Sec. 34-288(6) of the existing ADC District regulations requires that the Design Guidelines are updated every 5 years. On May 15, 2012 the BAR recommended (7-0) for City Council’s approval the attached revisions to the ADC Districts Design Guidelines. The Word document shows proposed deletions struck out, and proposed new text underlined, so you can see the changes. The end product will be formatted to look similar to the existing Guidelines document. Discussion: A BAR subcommittee (Fred Wolf, Eryn Brennan, Preston Coiner and Syd Knight) proposed changes that were discussed by the full BAR in November 2011. The subcommittee noted the lack of guidelines related to public landscapes, so experts Genevieve Keller, Gregg Bleam, Preston Coiner and Syd Knight were convened in December 2011 to discuss. A full BAR work session was held in January 2012 to review additional proposed guidelines for Public Landscapes and for Tents. Substantive revisions (other than typos, updates, corrections, and rearranging text) include: Chapter 5 - Signs, Awnings, Vending and Cafes (page 40) New guidelines for tents for weekend use and for winter café season or year-round use.

  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    The Cup, the Cap and the Cupola Cupolas and coppolas can both be found atop domes, and in New Orleans they can also be found in the French Quarter (in more ways than one). In architecture, a cupola is itself a dome-like ornamental structure located on top of another larger dome or roof. It can be used as a “lookout” or to admit light and ventilation. This Italian word comes from the classical Latin word for a small cup, since this mini- dome resembles an upside down cup. Cupolas can be found positioned above the Cabildo, Presbytere and the Napoleon House. The Presbytere had a cupola just like the Cabildo until the hurricane of 1915. After over ninety years without bilateral symmetry, the Presbytere is back to normal (with a design by the architectural firm of Yeates & Yeates). The Presbytere in New Orleans, with its restored cupola The Italian word coppola is the name for the traditional cloth cap that can be seen worn on men’s “domes” back in Sicily in the film classic “The Godfather”. It is so appropriate that the movie’s director and part-time Quarterite is the acclaimed director and screenwriter, Francis Ford Coppola. Another French Quarter homeowner is his nephew, actor Nicolas Cage, nee Nicholas Kim Coppola. In 2007, Cage paid $3,450,000 for the famous LaLaurie mansion at 1140 Royal Street. Delphine LaLaurie (who first lived there in 1831) was infamous for her sadistic treatment of her slaves, and it is said that the home is haunted. Another Italian word for cupola (usually if a stair is involved) is belvedere, literally meaning a “beautiful view”.

  • Private Dining Guide
    Private Dining Guide Thank you for considering Napoleon House for your upcoming event. Napoleon House offers a prime, historic French Quarter setting, Chef Chris Montero’s acclaimed classic New Orleans cuisine, caring service and heartfelt hospitality. Our ambition is to deliver a very special, one-of-a-kind event that will charm your guests and reflect your palate, theme and budget Constructed in the late 1700’s; owned and operated by the Impastato family of New Orleans for 101 years and Ralph Brennan since May of 2015, the Napoleon House (named for the exiled French Emperor who was offered the opportunity to take up residence) suspends you in time. It’s authentic exterior, deeply patinaed walls, heart of pine floors, sunken cypress doors, and luminous photography exudes the European charm that begets civilized eating and drinking. The upstairs private rooms boast glittering custom chandeliers, antiqued cypress wood mantles, heirloom silk tapestry drapes and balcony access with breathtaking views of the French Quarter. The Cupola at the very top of the building was long used by sailors as a premier destination to view the boating traffic along the Mississippi River, and also by the original owner, former New Orleans Mayor Nicholas Giraud who would retreat to this treasured space to wait for Napoleon Bonaparte, who sadly was poisoned before his rumored arrival. Napoleon House offers several enchanting event spaces. The upstairs Rosa and Pietro Rooms can accommodate up to 135 for receptions and 70 for seated events. Downstairs the Emperor’s Room stands 40 and seats 30. We also offer our courtyard and iconic bar area for groups of 25 and up to 75 respectively.

  • Looking for Progress, February 1962-May 1963
    II - Looking for Progress:. February 1962-May 1963.. Background: Following the recommendations of the Staley Committee in October 1961 and 'those of General Taylor in November, President Kennedy on December 14 pledged that the US would increase military aid to South Vietnam short of committing combat forces. A point US-GVN communique on January 4, 1962 announced that a broad '.economic and social program to improve living standards would be undertaken simultaneously with measures to strengthen South Vietnam's defense. On February 8, the USMAAG was reorganized to become US~IACV under four-star. General Harkins with a strength of .4,000 US military personnel. By December 1962, this advisory force had risen to 11,000. As US economic and military assistance grew, the GVN began a series of mayor efforts at pacification (Operations Sunrise, Sea Swallow, etc.) that involved relocating villages and peasants into newly constructed and fortified strategic hamlets.
