The review was based on our letter dated December 2, 2005, which outlined the ARB's conditions of approval for this project. My comments are listed below. Please read this entire letter and follow the instructions at the end. Regarding the Timberwood Blvd. buildings (Buildings A and B): 1. Regarding li hg Ling: • A lighting plan was not submitted, so a complete review of the proposed lighting cannot be accomplished. o Submit a lighting plan. Include on the plan quantity, type, location, wattage, etc. of all proposed light fixtures. Uplights exceeding 3, 000 lumens are proposed for the tower. These do not meet ordinance requirements and cannot be approved. o Propose alternate fixtures that emit less than 3,000 lumens for the tower. Provide copies of the cut sheets for the fixture. Indicate color and finish in a lighting schedule. Uplights are proposed for the covered walkway. A note on T1.0 indicates that the fixtures will be completely concealed from view from the outside, but the north elevation of the walkway canopy shows that the ends of the structure are not fully enclosed. A section of the canopy together with the light fixtures, and possibly a revised side elevation or other detail drawings as necessary, are required to show that the light fixtures will not be visible from outside the canopy. o Provide a section, and other detail drawings as necessary, showing the canopy together with the light fixtures. The drtawings must show that the fixtures will not be visible from outside the canopy, or alternate fixtures that emit less than 3,000 lumens must be proposed. Provide cut sheets for the canopy fixtures. Indicate color and finish in a lighting schedule. • No information on street lights was included in the submittal. o Provide a street lighting master plan for Area C with complete information on the proposed street lights, or indicate in writing that street lights are no longer proposed. 2. Re arding materials /colors: • Sheet TI.0 indicates that the roof of the tower is to be Type H standing seam slate blue. The ARB approved color for the tower was charcoal gray. Sheet A2.0 notes standing seam metal for the roofs of Building A, but the color is not specified. It should be charcoal gray. Sheets A2.2 and T1.0 don't indicate tower materials /colors. The tower structure should be charcoal gray. The finish schedules on the elevation sheets do not specify stucco colors. The approved stucco colors are sandstone for Buildings A and B and twilight and gray dawn for Building C. ARB approved Building C brick was Old Salem. Most of the stucco previously shown on Building C has been changed to brick, including Abingdon, Rosewell and Newport. Samples of these bricks have not been provided for review. With this change in materials, the elevations should clearly show that the upper parts of each of the walls of Building C, where the clerestory windows are proposed, are to be faced with stucco. o Indicate on the elevations that the tower structure and roof are to be charcoal gray. Coordinate this information throughout the architectural drawings. Revise the finish schedules to note the ARB approved stucco colors: sandstone for Buildings A and B and twilight and gray dawn for Building C. Provide the following brick samples for review: Abingdon, Rosewell, Newport. Revise the Building C elevations to clearly show that the clerestory walls of Building C will be faced with stucco. 3. Regarding signage: • The sign criteria were not included in the submittal. The ordinance requires that the ARB conduct a comprehensive sign review for this type of development prior to site plan approval. The ARB does not need to know the tenants that will occupy each space. You can simply decide the type of sign that will be used, choose a color or limited colors for the signs, show the locations for signs on the building, etc. o Provide sign criteria for review. Include in the criteria: sign type (panel); mounting (hanging, direct to wall); illumination (external, with proposed fixture type); proposed color range (providing consistency and coordination throughout building groups). Signs should be coordinated within building groups. Building groups are as follows: a) the corner element and flat roofed building, b) the flat roofed stucco building, c) the two groups of three similar building forms; proposed sign areas drawn to scale on the buildings. Regarding the northwest corner building (Building C): 1. Regarding the window glass • A sample of the window glass was submitted but the reflectance value has not been indicated. o Add the manufacturer's specification for the reflectance value of the glass to the information in the material schedules. Reflectance shall be held below 7 %. 2. Re arding the coordination of plan and elevations and window placement • An architectural plan was not submitted for Building C, so this review could not be completed. o Provide architectural floor plans for Building C. Be sure that the plan shows coordinated elevations and floor plans regarding window placement. 4. Regarding signage: • The sign criteria were not included in the submittal.
