WORK SESSION
Stonefield: Design Guidelines discussion
The ARB held a work session on the Stonefield (previously Albemarle Place) development. The
applicant discussed the development's design guidelines with the ARB and presented a revised Hyatt
Place elevation for discussion.
It was the general consensus of the ARB that the design guidelines and the Hyatt Place elevation were
moving in the right direction. The following comments were made:
1. There continues to be concern about the appearance of the corner building.
2. Viewing the landscaping together with the buildings is important.
3. Focus on what is visible from the EC.
4. Red brick and cast stone are missing from the proposed materials palette. Though these materials are
not required, the applicant may wish to consider opening the palette further for added interest and
flexibility later.
5. A planting plan will be required for "temporary" stormwater facilities that will be in place for more
than 18 months.
6. Additional clarification on the phasing of the project was requested.
