The ARB reviewed the Concept Plan (ARB-2019-24) for the C&F Bank at Stonefield on April 15, 2019 and provided recommendations to benefit the applicant's subsequent submittal. In addition,
because the request for a drive -through window will require the applicant to attain a Special Exception to the Code of Development for Albemarle Place, the Board, by a vote of 5:0, forwarded no
objection to a Special Exception for this use. (See Attachment A)
DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL
This is a proposal to develop a single -story, 64' x 45' bank building and associated drive -through teller window, travelway, and parking spaces to the immediate south of the row of commercial spaces at
3918 Lennox Avenue, immediately north of the Sperry Marine property, and east of the surface parking for Costco. The approved plan for Block G (the Certificate of Appropriateness was issued April
20, 2015) does not show a building in the proposed location [Figure 3]:

In the previous submittal, a
discrepancy existed between the
elevations and the renderings
regarding the proposed material
around the door on the fagade. While
the renderings depicted stone, the
elevations [Figure 7] showed EIFS
above the stone water table and below
the Hardie Panel parapet. In this
submittal, the elevations have been
revised to show stone surrounding the
entry, so that they now correlate to
the renderings.

is largely fenestrated, includes the

building has only black awnings. And
while several buildings throughout
the Stonefield complex have
canopies, staff is unaware of another
instance in which the canopy frames
are forest green. The proposed shade
of green is a relatively dark one and is
expected to have an appropriate
appearance for the EC.

therefore revise the "exterior finishes"
page to name the off-white color
shown and proposed. Overall, the
materials and color palette are
consistent with the neighboring
buildings in Block G of Stonefield.
The variation in colors and textures as
well as the fenestration eliminate any
concern of blankness on this
elevation.
The south (side) elevation (labeled
"left elevation" in the application
package) will also be visible from the
EC [Figure 9]. This elevation includes
an ATM and two drive -through teller
windows that will require a Special
Exception application to amend the
language in the Code of
Development. The design handles this
blank and utilitarian facade by raising
the stone veneer foundation higher,
thereby reducing the amount of EIFS,

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the following as the primary points of discussion:
1. The sufficiency of the proposed landscaping.
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. Note that the approved landscape plan for Block G is in violation until the approved landscaping is planted.
2. Revise the "exterior finishes" sheet to name the color of the Hardie Panel.
3. Provide window -glass specifications for review.
4. Note that a full site plan will be required with a Major Amendment to a Site Plan application.
5. Provide standard mechanical equipment note to future site plans: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
6. Rectify discrepancies between the luminaire schedule and manufacturer's cut sheets for each model in terms of lumens output and color temperatures.
7. Provide the standard light note on a revised lighting plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3, 000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be
arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in
residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle.
8. Revise the landscape schedule to accurately reflect the total number of trees proposed in Block G.
9. Note that a separate sign application will be required and sign design is subject to the approved criteria in the Stonefield Block G Comprehensive Sign Plan.
