Re: Architectural Review Letter — Response ARB-2020-8
Remarks:
We have reviewed your review comments dated May 22, 2020. We have addressed comments
as follows:
1. Provide material and color samples for the canopies, awnings and as specified elsewhere in these
comments. Rev. 1: Comment not yet y addressed. Address the following:
a) Material and color samples have been provided and noted on the elevations. However, a "Kawneer
`Black" sample was provided but does not appear to be utilized. Sbecifv where this color and
material will be utilized in the elevation sheet.
Response:
"Kawneer Black" is the color of the storefront ST-1, noted as such on the finish board (the
sample material appears to have been re -glued over the information on the board, obscuring
the label). The note has been added to the elevations to clarify that the new storefront door at
the drive-thru will be "ST-1"to match the existing storefront.
b) The notes for the masonry materials state that the mortar is to match the existing. For both types of
brick, a specific manufacture color and style have been specified with the statement "GC to verify
`Match Existing" prior to ordering". Address the following:
i. The brick colors and manufacturer have changed since the last submission. Provide a picture of a
physical sample that includes the manufacturer's name, the color and the style for both specified
colors of brick. A physical sample ma.. b�quired.
Response:
Cut sheet provided by Chick-fil-A is attached to this letter.
ii. The brick manufacturer has changed to a different company from what was approved on the
previous approval. Although the comment in 10. fl i. was addressed since the manufacturer has
changed that color may no longer be correct. See i. above about supplying a photo of the material
and color sample for both colors of brick.
Response:
Chick-fil-A uses several different manufacturers of brick depending on the location of the store.
The elevations that were sent over initially were prototypical, and not specific to VA. This has
been revised. The brick installed on the original building is Cunningham `Red Velour' and `Tan
Velour'. Cunningham was purchased by General Shale. General Shale still produces and
supplies the Red Velour and Tan Velour brick and this is what will be used on the addition. The
design intent is for the addition to look like a part of the original building. The GC will be
directed to confirm the brick match (color and finish) before ordering. See attached cut sheet
for brick information and images.
10. F. In the Exterior Finish Scheduled address the following:
i. In "BR-2" the color specified is "Tan", but the approved color is "Tan Velour". Either revise
BR-2 to state "Tan Velour" or remove the specified color of "Tan" and in its place include
"To Match Existing Brick".
Response:
"Tan" is the color of the brick. "Velour" is the finish. The design intent is for the brick to match
the existing building so that an observer would not know it had been added at a later date.
The GC is directed to confirm the brick match to the existing building (color and finish) before
ordering.
iii. For "PT-7" provide a color sample.
Rev. 1: Comment not yet y addressed. PT-7 is no longer shown on the elevation however the
comment response letter states "Color sample provided on Material Board". As specified in
comment 1. a) the "Kawneer `Black" color and material sample that is provided on the sample board
does not appear to be assigned to any item shown on the elevations. On the previous submission
PT7 was listed as the "Exterior Paint Refuse Enclosure". Please clarify on these two topics and if
they are related. Ensure that all exhibits and samples are coordinated and clear.
Response:
"PT--7" will not be used on this project and has been removed.
Refer to comment 1 regarding the "Kawneer Black".
g. Show all existing and proposed light fixtures and label those that are proposed. The color of light
fixtures should be provided in the manufacturer's cut sheets included in the photometric plan.
Response:
The only proposed NEW light fixtures are on the underside of the canopy. They can not be
seen in elevation, but are shown on the `Canopy Sample Images' sheet that was included in
the previous submittal. This fixture is `white'. The cut sheet is attached.
There is one light fixture on the building that is REUSED. The existing color is `bronze'.
The cut sheet is attached.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require additional
information.
