Response: Material and color samples for all materials provided as requested
2. Add architectural details such as height variation and greater variation in the material changes
along the EC -facing elevation to help better establish the elevation as the front of the building
and add human scale to the building. Most ARB members agreed that the revised elevation
shown during the meeting is moving in the right direction.
Response: Height variation and greater variation in the material changes added along the
EC -facing elevation to help better establish the elevation as the front of the building.
Masonry band in various locations added to break the elevation down to a human scale.
3. Consider revising the proposed material to a more traditional brick form and/or a natural earth
tone color. Accurately reflect the proposed material in the drawings and renderings.
Response: Proposed material revised to two tone color finish in traditional brick colors —
similar to buildings across the street.
4. Submit a window glass sample and specs with the next submission.
Response: Window glass sample and specs provided as requested.
5. Add the standard window glass note to the drawings with the next submission: Visible light
transmittance (VL 1) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed
30%.
Response: Standard glass note added to the drawings as requested.

location is inside the building, note this on the plans. If located on the rooftop, provide a roof plan
showing the equipment locations, show the equipment locations and heights on the elevation
drawings, and illustrate methods for eliminating visibility of the equipment.
Response: Drawings revised to show where building- and car wash -related
equipment is located as requested.
12. Add the standard mechanical equipment visibility note to the drawings with the next
submission: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be
eliminated."
Response: Note added to plans stating: all mechanical equipment (including vacuum
machine) is located at the interior of the building, therefore 'visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the entrance corridor is eliminated'.
13. Coordinate the light fixtures shown on the building elevations with the light fixtures listed
in the lighting schedule in the site plan.
Response: Light fixtures shown on the building elevations coordinated with the light
fixtures listed in the lighting plan as requested.
14. Revise the proposed lighting to soft, warm white (3k).
Response: All lights have been updated to warm white (3k).
15. Indicate the color of the proposed fixtures on the plans.
Response: The color has been called out in the model number as BK (black).
16. Include a note on the lighting plan indicating that the 20' maximum height of the pole -mounted
light fixtures includes any base.
Response: A note has been added to clarify maximum mounting heights. The maximum
height of the pole fixture will be 14'. This is less than the 20' minimum.
17. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0 for all fixtures.
Response: Photometrics have been updated for 1.0 LLF.
18. Add the standard lighting note to the 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."
