RE: ARB-2019-24: C&F Bank at Stonefield, Concept Plan and Advisory Review (TM/Parcel
061 W00300019A0)
Dear Mr. Pineo,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on April 15, 2019, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request. The Board took the following actions.
Regardingtpecial Exception for a Drive -through, the Board by a vote of 5:0, forwarded the following
recommendation to the Planning Commission:
Because the conceptual site plan and architectural design suggest that a development of the illustrated size,
scale, form, and layout can be constructed with an appropriate appearance for the Entrance Corridor, the ARB
has no objection to the request for a Special Exception.
The ARB offered the following comments on the proposal:
1. Provide dimensioned elevations and floorplans as well as material and color samples of the stone
veneer and Hardie Panel for review.
2. Correlate all renderings and elevations regarding the materials in the entrance bay.
3. Provide window -glass specifications for review.
4. Revise the window glass note to eliminate the first clause, "Window glass in the Entrance
Corridors should meet the following criteria:" Consider changing the spandrel glass to clear glass
to match the rest of the proposed glazing.
5. Note that a full site plan will be required with a Major Amendment to a Site Plan application.
6. Provide standard mechanical equipment note to future site plans and architectural elevations:
Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
7. Provide a lighting plan for review, including photometric values of all proposed site and
architectural lighting, as well as a luminaire schedule and manufacturer's specifications.
8. Include a landscape plan and schedule for the bank site with the next submittal.
9. Provide 2 large shade trees in the vicinity of the 4 parking spaces at the front of the bank.
10. Provide the standard plant health note on the landscape 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.
11. Show adequate tree protection fencing on the plans.
12. Note that a separate sign application will be required.
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.
Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on
each drawing. Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been
addressed. If changes other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also.
