Justin and Kyle,
I've reviewed the plans and have provided comments below. I'll ask the ARB for input/direction on#1
and 7 at Monday's meeting. Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks.

Your recent submittal(site plan dated 11/4/19 and architectural plans dated November 2019)has been
reviewed. Review comments are provided below.Numbered comments are outstanding conditions
of approval from the July 16, 2019 ARB action letter. Lettered comments are current review
comments based on those conditions.
1. Provide architectural elevations and details that correspond to the renderings submitted and
reviewed on 7/15/2019.
a. Windows in end bays on the north, west, and east elevations don't extend down to the
stringcourses as in the 7/15/2019 drawings.
b. On the north elevation,the proportion of the door to the canopy is different than what was
illustrated in the 7/15/2019 drawings.
2. Revise the material schedule to indicate the color of the metal canopy, the color name/number of
the standing seam metal roof,the glass type,and the retaining wall material.
a. Some of the material specifications have changed since the material/color board was
submitted. Provide samples of the metal canopy(ash gray),the"light stone"metal panels,
and the ground face block(Martinsville#9316).
3. Revise the glass to significantly reduce the tint. Choose one glass spec. Show that VLT will not
drop below 40% and VLR will not exceed 30%. Add the standard window glass note to the
architectural plans.
a. No revised glass sample was submitted. The elevation sheets confirm that glass is still
tinted. Provide a glass sample (with manufacturer information and specs) with a
significantly reduced tint.
4. Show the locations of all ground- and building-mounted equipment on the plans. Show how
visibility from the.ECs will be eliminated. Note that roof-mounted equipment will be difficult to
incorporate into a cohesive design.
a. Include a note on the site plan stating that the equipment screen wall material will match
the building wall material.
5. Revise the lighting plan to either include the canopy mount fixture on the plan and in the schedule,
and add the corresponding cut sheet, or eliminate the reference in note 4 on sheet C9.
a. This was not addressed.
6. Revise the lighting plan to limit illumination at the ground to 20 fc.
a. This was not addressed.
7. Revise the plan to provide sufficient planting area and trees along the west side of the building to
help soften the building's appearance. Planting along the west side of the base of the building wall
should correspond to the planting shown in the submitted rendering on 7/15/19. In addition,
planting along the base of the retaining wall that corresponds to the building should be 40' on center
with planting size of 21/2"caliper.Add an interior parking lot tree along the west side of the parking
lot.
a. The plants shown on the landscape plan do not correspond to the 7/15/19 illustration.Those
shown at the top of the wall appear to be too large for the 5.5' deep planting area. Green
screens with vines are provided along portions of the lower wall instead of trees/shrubs.
8. A monument sign location is shown on the plan.Note that sign location is not approved with the
site plan. It will be reviewed and approved with the separate sign application.
