RE: SDP - 2011 -08: Stony Point Elementary — Minor Amendment (Parking and Drop -off)
DATE: February 24, 2011
I have reviewed the plan for the above referenced application, dated February 7, 2011, and I have the
following comments.
1. Provide a landscape plan with a complete landscape schedule for review. Ensure that all Entrance
Corridor planting guidelines are met. The guidelines are available here:
http://www.albemarle.oriz/upload/imaaes/forins center /departments /Community Development /forms
/arb applications/Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines Feb 2011 final text.pdf Shade trees
between the parking lot/turnaround and the EC should be spaced a minimum of 35' on center and
planted at a minimum of 31 /z" caliper. Ornamentals should be interspersed with the shade trees. The
trees should extend to the west end of the frontage. A continuous row of shrubs with minimum
planting height of 24" should also be provided along the frontage.
2. If new lighting or changes to existing lights are proposed, submit a lighting plan for review.
3. Alternate /additional treatments are needed to integrate the engineered appearance of the stormwater
structure into the site as viewed from Route 20. Consider additional shrubs integrated with the
frontage planting, and an alternate stone to the standard gray rip rap. Other treatments may also be
appropriate.
4. Submit the revised plan as a separate ARB application. On the application form, check the box for
County -wide Certificate of Appropriateness — minor amendments to site and architectural plans. The
form is available here:
