Coordinate the ramp/stair structures with proposed landscaping without reducing plant quantities or degree of screening. 3. Consider increasing the level of detail in the west elevation OK: the applicant agreed to this in the ARB meeting on 8-20-18 of Building C, Block 4B, consistent with that provided in and presented revised architectural renderings of Building C in Building B. Block 4B with a differentiated west (side) elevation. The resubmitted elevations for this building (type C) compare to those the applicant brought to the 8-20-18 ARB meeting. 4. Provide the window glass note on the architectural OK elevations: Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLI) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%. Specifications on the proposed window glass should be submitted with the application for final review. 5.

Provide total lumens in the luminaire schedule for all This data has not been provided for two new models added to the proposed lights. luminaire schedule since the last review: LT5 and LT6. Provide the total lumens emitted from LT5 and LT6 in the luminaire schedule. Revise the lighting plans to include the illumination output This has not been accomplished, as the east side of the clubhouse from the proposed light fixtures on the Clubhouse and the still has blank white space that doesn't offer illumination values. In Fitness Building in Block 4A. Add the proposed light fact, there are a number of blank, white spaces(especially Previous ARB Comment 10/1/18 Review fixtures graphically to the site plan. Include the light abutting the buildings, highlighted in yellow in the annotated fixtures' specifications in the luminaire schedules drawings)that lack illumination values. Photometric values should be given in all areas of the site plan. If the proposed light fixtures LT5 and LT6 are for the clubhouse and fitness center,they have not been shown graphically on the lighting plan illustration or they were not found or the symbols of a triangle within a circle that appear around the clubhouse and fitness center do not match those for LT5 and LT6 in the luminaire schedule and should be rectified.Graphically show the locations of proposed light fixtures LT5 and LT6 on the lighting plan. 9. Revise the lighting plan such that no footcandle value This has been done: the highest fc value listed is 19.6. HOWEVER, exceeds 20 fc. as this value is found on the facade of Building D in Block 4A, and as several of the other buildings in the lighting plan do not have photometric values abutting the wall, it is possible that higher values exist and are not graphically provided. Photometric values should be given in all areas of the site plan. 10. Provide a note on the lighting plan that 18 feet is the OK: notes to the effect that the pole lights are 18'from grade maximum mounting height from grade for the pole lights, inclusive of the bases have been provided on C-704 and C-705. inclusive of the base. 11.

Schedule" on C-703. If they are included graphically on the plan and in a schedule,then they should have labels so the count can be verified. Furthermore,there is a matchline in the center of Archer Avenue;therefore,the landscape schedule should provide the quantity of the street trees and shrubs within the scope of Block 4B on C-701 and the quantity within the scope of Block 4A on C-702—not the combined numbers across the matchline. Previous ARB Comment 10/1/18 Review ■ Revise the plan to resolve all utility/landscape conflicts. This has not been done, as a new Zelkova since the last review has been added to the southwest corner of the central civic space in Block 4B, and it is positioned 5' o.c. from the center of a water main. Similarly, in Block 4A,there are 4 Zelkovas on the southern end of the site and 1 Zelkova in the western line (towards the north) that are positioned between 5' and 7' from water and sewer lines. Colleagues in engineering have stated that the desired distance for large shade trees and utilities is 7'-8'. Revise the landscape plan so that all large shade trees are planted greater than 7'o.c.from the center of water and sewer lines. ■ Graphically provide the numbers and varieties of shrubs The foundation plantings have been provided graphically;while proposed for the foundations of those buildings lining they do not appear in the plant schedules on C-701 or C-702,there Archer Avenue. Ensure that no proposed shrub exceeds in is a plant schedule on C-703 entitled "Foundation Landscape Plan quantity 25%of the total shrub count. Schedule." HOWEVER, the numbers (quantity)of the foundation plantings counted and shown graphically on C-701 and C-702 do not correspond to the quantity ascribed each species in this schedule. Furthermore,there are species in the schedule that do not appear labeled on C-701 or C-702 anywhere(but I presume them to be in the roundabout). In addition, the"foundation landscape plan schedule" appears to really be a combined landscape schedule, and there is a combined landscape schedule on C-703 which doesn't appear to be exhaustive. Rectify these discrepancies.The ability to gauge whether any shrub species composes over 25%the total cannot be determined until all accounting errors are rectified. 17.

Therefore, it is the architecture of the area,but the 100'-deep purpose of ARB review and of these Guidelines,that proposed development landscape buffer along the EC(Rt. 29)will within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design mitigate their visibility and maintain, to some characteristic of the significant historical landmarks,buildings, and degree,that area's rural character. structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle area, and to promote orderly and attractive development within these corridors. Applicants should note that replication of historic structures is neither required nor desired. 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the integration of buildings, land, and vegetation characteristic of these sites,the Guidelines require attention to four primary factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the area; the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development and layout; and landscaping. Compatibility with significant historic sites: 3 New structures and substantial additions to existing structures should While the proposed designs of the 3-to 4- II/I-- respect the traditions of the architecture of historically significant buildings story,multifamily housing do not reflect the D�-t ti D in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area.

Replication of the design of the important historic sites in the area is neither intended nor desired. The Guideline's standard of compatibility can be met through building scale,materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional. The Guidelines allow individuality in design to accommodate varying tastes as well as special functional requirements. 1 ARB2018-83: Brookhill,blocks 4a&4b, Final SDP -- resubmission HNM 8/7/18 REF# GUIDELINE NOTES 6/29/18 NOTES 8/7/18 Compatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor 5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a pattern of See comment in#1 Cti compatible architectural characteristics throughout the Entrance Corridor in order to achieve unity and coherence. Building designs should demonstrate sensitivity to other nearby structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a designated corridor is substantially developed,these Guidelines require striking a careful balance between harmonizing new development with the existing character of the corridor and achieving compatibility with the significant historic sites in the area. Site development and layout 6 Site development should be sensitive to the existing natural landscape and The Code of Development requires that the Rt. cti 47 0 should contribute to the creation of an organized development plan.This 29 frontage have a 100' landscape buffer that is may be accomplished,to the extent practical,by preserving the trees and "forested."This will help retain the rural rolling terrain typical of the area;planting new trees along streets and character of this previously-undeveloped land. pedestrian ways and choosing species that reflect native forest elements; insuring that any grading will blend into the surrounding topography thereby creating a continuous landscape;preserving,to the extent practical, existing significant river and stream valleys which may be located on the site and integrating these features into the design of surrounding development; and limiting the building mass and height to a scale that does not overpower the natural settings of the site, or the Entrance Corridor. Landscaping 7 The requirements of the Guidelines regarding landscaping are intended to See comment in#6 reflect the landscaping characteristic of many of the area's significant 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.

Therefore, it is the the area,but the 100'-deep landscape buffer along purpose of ARB review and of these Guidelines,that proposed development the EC (Rt. 29)will mitigate their visibility and within the designated Entrance Corridors reflect elements of design maintain,to some degree, that area's rural character. characteristic of the significant historical landmarks,buildings, and structures of the Charlottesville and Albemarle area,and to promote orderly and attractive development within these corridors. Applicants should note that replication of historic structures is neither required nor desired. 2 Visitors to the significant historical sites in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area experience these sites as ensembles of buildings, land, and vegetation. In order to accomplish the integration of buildings, land, and vegetation characteristic of these sites,the Guidelines require attention to four primary factors: compatibility with significant historic sites in the area; the character of the Entrance Corridor; site development and layout; and landscaping. Compatibility with significant historic sites: 3 New structures and substantial additions to existing structures should While the proposed designs of the 3-to 4-story, respect the traditions of the architecture of historically significant buildings multifamily housing do not reflect the area's historic in the Charlottesville and Albemarle area.

Replication of the design of the important historic sites in the area is neither intended nor desired. The Guideline's standard of compatibility can be met through building scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional. The Guidelines allow individuality in design to accommodate varying tastes as well as special functional requirements. 1 ARB2018-83: Brookhill,blocks 4a& 4b, Final SDP HNM 6/29/18 REF# GUIDELINE NOTES Compatibility with the character of the Entrance Corridor 5 It is also an important objective of the Guidelines to establish a pattern of See comment in#1 compatible architectural characteristics throughout the Entrance Corridor in order to achieve unity and coherence. Building designs should demonstrate sensitivity to other nearby structures within the Entrance Corridor. Where a designated corridor is substantially developed,these Guidelines require striking a careful balance between harmonizing new-development with the existing character of the corridor and achieving compatibility with the significant historic sites in the area. Site development and layout 6 Site development should be sensitive to the existing natural landscape and The Code of Development requires that the Rt. 29 should contribute to the creation of an organized development plan.This frontage have a 100' landscape buffer that is may be accomplished,to the extent practical,by preserving the trees and "forested."This will help retain the rural character rolling terrain typical of the area;planting new trees along streets and of this previously-undeveloped land. pedestrian ways and choosing species that reflect native forest elements; insuring that any grading will blend into the surrounding topography thereby creating a continuous landscape;preserving,to the extent practical, existing significant river and stream valleys which may be located on the site and integrating these features into the design of surrounding development; and limiting the building mass and height to a scale that does not overpower the natural settings of the site, or the Entrance Corridor. Landscaping 7 The requirements of the Guidelines regarding landscaping are intended to See comment in#6 reflect the landscaping characteristic of many of the area's significant 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.
