RE: ARB- 2011 -112: Stonefield Town Center
Tax Map 61W, Section 3, Parcels 18B, 23, 24 and 25
Dear Mr. Haine,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
October 17, 2011. The Board, by a vote 3:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions:
Regarding landscaping:
1. Include the Hyatt landscaping with the town center site plan.
2. Include in the final site plan the revised landscaping shown on the 10/11/11 Revised North Parking
Layout plan, showing trees outside of easements and 7 ornamental trees distributed along the parking
lot frontage.
3. Resolve the tree /utility conflicts without reducing the quantity of trees.
4. Include the revised planting layout showing the shade and ornamental trees along the B parking lot
frontage outside of easements in the final site plan.
5. Provide the height of the overhead power lines along the south side of Sperry. Consider alternate tree
species to avoid excessive future tree trimming in this area.
6. Provide documentation from Dominion Power indicating that Dominion does not oppose the planting
proposed in the electric easement.
7. For each retaining and screen wall included on the site plan, add notes to the plan sheets indicating
the corresponding wall detail. Add the name of the manufacturer, the product, and the color to each
wall detail. Approved colors for the Rockwood Classic 8 wall are "buff' and "dark brown ".
8. Indicate the color of the guard rail on the detail.
9. Revise the single shrub species along the 29 frontage to include greater variety.
10. Replace the white pines with an alternate species.
11. Revise the quantity of Otto Luyken cherry laurel to not exceed 25% of the total quantity of shrubs
proposed in the development (without increasing the quantity of other shrubs in excess of 25 %).
12. Provide a detail for the green screens on the site plan or architectural drawings. Ensure that the detail
and the green screen locations are included on either the final site plan drawings submitted for
signature or the architectural plans submitted with the building permit application. Indicate depth as 2"
minimum and provide the color name corresponding to the darker color illustrated in the 10 -3 -11
presentation.
Regarding the architectural design:
13. Revise the notes on the Hyatt elevation drawings to clearly indicate that all louvers will match the
adjacent wall color.
14. Return for a work session for an alternate brick color for Al.
15. The glass sample submitted on 10/17/11 is approved for the town center.
Regarding equipment:
16. Revise the electrical switch screening note to indicate that "switching equipment will be fully screened
by landscaping at the time of planting."
17. Add the following note to the architectural plans and ensure that the note appears on the final site
plan submitted for signatures and the architectural plans submitted with the building permit
application: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
18. Considering distance and overall visual impact, the minimally visible screens are integrated
architecturally with the buildings as presented.
Regarding Signs and Awnings:
19. With the Hyatt sign permit application:
a) Revise the sign proposal to indicate that the logo is multicolor and non - illuminated.
b) Revise the sign proposal to not exceed a total of 200sf maximum.
c) Revise the sign drawing to include identification of the materials of the sign and the lamp type.
If LED illumination is proposed, provide the following note on the sign drawing: The level of
illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination produced by a single
stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon.
20. Unlimited sign design on Bond Street is acceptable, including signs on stucco bays without
storefronts. Other sign design must return for review of a comprehensive sign review.
21. Unlimited awning design on Bond Street is acceptable. Others must be reviewed as part of the
comprehensive sign review.
Regarding lighting:
22. Omit lighting from the site plan and return for a site plan amendment (and ARB review) later,
addressing all lighting issues, including but not limited to the following:
a) Be sure to include sheets LT12 — LT19 as part of the final site plan set.
b) Include the illumination emitted from all wall- mounted fixtures that emit 3000 lumens or more in
the photometrics, ensure that they are full cutoff fixtures, and be sure to include their cut sheets
as part of the final site plan set.
c) Indicate in the lighting schedule that the XV fixtures will be maintained in a downward oriented
horizontal position, or revise the wattage to less than 40 watts, or choose an alternate fixture that
meets ordinance requirements.
d) Revise the fixture schedule to indicate the XB and XH fixtures as bronze, not silver. Revise the
color note to indicate that XA, XB and XH fixtures and poles are to be bronze.
e) Include the Hyatt building mounted light fixtures in the town center submittal. Indicate a flat lens
for the XRC1 fixture in the light schedule. Revise the XSW2 fixture to meet ordinance
requirements (use a lamp that emits less than 3000 lumens or make the fixture full cutoff).
f) Eliminate uplighting mounted on canopies within 200' of Rt. 29.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting
the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staff's review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
