The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on Monday, August 15, 2022, completed a
review of the above -noted request to construct a residential development consisting of apartment buildings,
townhomes, and associated improvements. The Board offered the following comments for the benefit of the
applicant's next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have been identified at this
time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and changes to the plan.
1. Revise the white used in the building designs to color(s) that are more muted in nature.
2. Revise the east and west sides of Buildings B and D and the north side of the townhomes to increase
diversity in architectural character, materials, and colors. Possibilities include, but are not limited to,
increasing the height of the stone veneer at the base of the elevations and adding more variation in
colors.
3. Revise the color of the accent standing seam metal roofs on Buildings 8 and 9 to one that is more
coordinated with the overall architectural design.
4. Provide perspectives from the Parkway with and without landscaping and with and without the future
building.
5. Provide samples for all materials and colors.
6. Revise the architectural drawings to provide specs on proposed window glass that meet the design
criteria as follows: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40%. Visible light reflectance
(VLR) shall not exceed 30%.
7. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
8. Revise the photometric plan to eliminate the spillover above '/2 footcandle.
9. Revise the pedestrian light fixtures to ones that emit less than 3000 lumens or to fixtures that are full
cutoff.
10. Revise the lighting plan to note in the schedule the light loss factor and maximum footcandles for the
site. A LLF of at least 1.0 is required and lighting levels that do not exceed 20 footcandles would be
appropriate.

11. Revise the schedule and cutsheets to provide information on the fixture colors and color temperatures
for the area light and pedestrian light fixtures.
12. Revise the schedule and cutsheet for the bollard light fixtures to specify the same fixture.
13. Revise the lighting plan to note that the height of the pole -mounted fixtures including the base will not
exceed 20'.
14. Revise the landscape plan to provide trees in the available planting areas between the buildings and
sidewalks, and along the parking row associated with the trailhead park.
15. Revise the landscape plan to provide large shade trees, 40' on center, along the parking area between
the clubhouse/pool area and the stormwater facility.
16. Revise the layout of the trailhead park so that the associated paved area is not the primary feature
visible from the EC. Provide a park design that addresses the intersection and presents an appropriate
face to the EC. More parking and less turnaround pavement would be appropriate.
17. If the path featured in the perspective view at the Rio/Parkway intersection is proposed, show it in the
site plan and provide appropriate landscaping. Coordinate the perspective views with the proposed site
layout.
18. Revise the site plan to note the specific color proposed for the retaining walls.
19. Revise the perspective to clarify the level of visibility of the retaining wall on the northeast side of
Building 8.
20. Show tree protection fencing on the grading, and E&S plans.
21. Show all the buffer planting locations on the landscape plan.
