RE: ARB-2020-24: Spring Hill Village (TMP: 09000-00-00-02800)
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on
Monday, May 18, 2020. The Board unanimously approved the request, pending staff administrative
approval of the following conditions:
1. Provide the product line, and specific color name, for the proposed asphalt shingles.
A material sample may be required.
2. Note for future submittals that the Block A building will need to address EC
Guidelines requirements for scale, proportion, massing, detailing, lack of blankness,
etc.
3. Revise the building elevations to clearly identify overall height of all unit types.
4. Revise all labels and dimensions on the elevations and building sections to have
text that is forward facing.
5. Revise the maximum proposed building height on the site plan cover sheet to match
the actual proposed building heights.
6. Clearly indicate an elevation type for each unit. Submit elevations, if not already
provided, for the following:
• Front elevations of 29-38, 50-63
• Front and rear elevations 1-22
• Rear elevations 43-49
• Side elevations 6, 11, 16, 23
Alternatively, provide site sections showing units/blocks that will have no visibility
from Rt. 20.
7. Ensure that the rear elevations for units 1 through 22 show fenestration and
architectural details sufficient to establish an appropriate appearance for the EC.
8. Revise the side elevations of townhouse units 1, 84, and 100 and villa unit 71 to
incorporate sufficient detail to eliminate blankness.
9. Revise the rear elevations of units 64 through 71, and 76 through 83 to incorporate
sufficient detail to eliminate blankness.
10. Provide the standard window glass note in the architectural drawings: Visible light
transmittance (VLT) 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.
11. Indicate on the plan the locations of proposed HVAC equipment. Show on the plan
how visibility of this equipment will be eliminated from the Rt. 20 EC.
12. Revise the site plan to show the wooden privacy fence on the south property line on
all sheets. Provide a fence detail in the plan. Indicate size, materials, and colors.
13.If a fence is proposed along the EC show it and label it on all site plan sheets,
include a fence detail, specify the material, color and manufacturer. Samples may
be necessary.
14. Revise the landscape plan to fully coordinate with all aspects of the site plan.
Ensure that the unit types, unit locations, driveways, walkways and trails, utilities
and utility easements are shown in the same location as on the other site plan
sheets.
15. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural plans: "Visibility of
all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
16. Revise all sheets of the landscape plan to show all existing utilities and utility
drainage easements. Ensure all landscaping does not conflict with the utilities or
their easements.
17. Provide frontage planting in a naturalistic pattern rather than in a strictly linear form.
18. Revise the street trees along the EC to be large deciduous trees of 3 Y2" caliper and
provide sufficient landscaping area, outside of the utility easements, to ensure they
do riot conflict with the existing or proposed easements.
19. Ensure that any fence along the EC does not conflict with the location of the street
trees.
20. Revise spacing of the large shade trees along the interior roads to meet the 40' on
center minimum spacing. Add one additional tree to the west side of Berwyn Lane,
two trees to the east side of Berwyn Lane and two trees to the south and west side
of Loyola Way.
21. Revise the trees along pedestrian ways to be medium shade trees of 2 Y2" caliper
and ensure that all portions of the pedestrian ways have trees proposed along them.
22. Coordinate the trail system throughout the site plan and show medium shade trees,
of 2 1/2' caliper, every 25'.
23. Revise the landscape plan to show the standard plant health note: 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.
24. Provide information on the material, color and manufacturer of the retaining walls. A
sample may be required.
25. Consider a large evergreen screening shrub between the terraced retaining walls.
26. Round proposed contours for a more natural appearance.
27. Bring side and rear elevations to the ARB for review in a work session or as an
"other business" item prior to final approval.
Please provide:
1. One full set of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated
revision dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If
changes other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo
also. Highlighting the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate
review and approval.
