Proposal
To construct a convenience store and fuel pump canopy with associated site improvements.
Context
The surrounding area is rural in character with a mix of wooded area, single-family residential development, and some
farm buildings.
Visibility
The proposed development is expected to be visible through the wooded area when traveling eastbound on 164 and exiting
using the off -ramp to southbound Black Cat Road. Existing trees on adjacent parcels and in the 164 right-of-way are
expected to limit other views. If these trees are removed, visibility will increase dramatically.

PROJECT HISTORY
The ARB reviewed an initial site plan for this site on March 20, 2017. The action letter from that meeting is included as Attachment A to this report.
Approval of the initial site plan expired; consequently, a new initial plan submittal was required. The site layout has changed since the 2017 proposal.
Primary changes include: reduction from 2 site entrances to 1; shifting of the stormwater pond to the north, resulting in greater tree removal; slight reshaping
of some parking lot islands; shifting of the building, canopy and travelway slightly to the north.

historic sites which is characterized by large shade trees and lawns.
Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and
help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor.
8
Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting
different types of plant materials that share similar characteristics. Such
common elements allow for more flexibility in the design of structures
because common landscape features will help to harmonize the appearance
of development as seen from the street upon which the Corridor is centered.
32
Landscaping along the frontage of Entrance Corridor streets should include
the following:
a. Large shade trees should be planted parallel to the Entrance Corridor
Street. Such trees should be at least 3%2 inches caliper (measured 6 inches
above the ground) and should be of a plant species common to the area.
Such trees should be located at least every 35 feet on center.
b. Flowering ornamental trees of a species common to the area should be
interspersed among the trees required by the preceding paragraph. The
ornamental trees need not alternate one for one with the large shade trees.
They may be planted among the large shade trees in a less regular spacing
pattern.
c. In situations where appropriate, a three or four board fence or low stone
wall, typical of the area, should align the frontage of the Entrance Corridor
street.
d. An area of sufficient width to accommodate the foregoing plantings and
fencing should be reserved parallel to the Entrance Corridor street, and
exclusive of road right-of-way and utility easements.

Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion:
1. Anticipated visibility of the development from the I64 EC.
2. Anticipated impact of canopy design and illumination on the I64 EC.
3. Anticipated impact of building design on the I64 EC.
Staff recommends that the ARB 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:.
1. Prior to Initial Plan approval, the following items shall be resolved to the satisfaction of the ARB: None.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
1. It is recommended that an expert be engaged to establish accurate cemetery boundaries prior to grading the site.
2. Consider reducing the length of the canopy to limit visual impacts.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
1. Include tree protection fencing on the landscape and grading plans. Include a conservation checklist in the plan.
• Regarding the final site plan submittal:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The following items and all items on the ARB Final Site Plan Checklist
must be addressed:
1. Provide architectural designs for review with the next submittal.
2. Show how trademark designs have been revised to meet the guidelines.
3. Show how visibility of mechanical equipment will be eliminated from the EC.
4. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the site plan and the architectural drawings: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
5. Illumination on site shall not exceed 20 fc at the ground.
6. Add a staggered row of mixed evergreen trees along the north, northeast and northwest perimeters of the travelway, high on the slope, to reduce
visual impacts of the development on the EC.
7. Provide a minimum of 3 interior parking lot trees.
8. Provide a complete landscape plan with the next submittal.
9. 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.
10. It is recommended that an expert be engaged to establish accurate cemetery boundaries prior to grading the site.
11. Include tree protection fencing on the landscape and grading plans. Include a conservation checklist in the plan.
12. Provide architectural drawings of the fuel pump canopy design. Limit sizes to meet the guidelines. Choose color and illumination options that
will limit visual impacts on the EC.
13. Consider reducing the length of the canopy to reduce visual impacts.
