RE: ARB- 2011 -20: Crozet Library Phase 2
DATE: November 11, 2011
Fax (434) 972 -4126
The ARB reviewed the Crozet Library Phase 2 project on April 4, 2011 and approved the proposal
pending staff administrative approval of several conditions. The conditions of approval are listed below
by number. Staff review comments based on the recent site plan resubmittal follow each condition.
1. Reposition the trees near the dumpster to avoid the utilities.
Staff response: The trees at the north corners of the dumpster have been deleted. The loss of these trees is
not expected to have a significant impact on the Entrance Corridor. No further comments.
2. Provide a complete landscape schedule for Phase 2 planting. Ensure that Phase 2 trees have a
minimum planting size of 2112' caliper.
Staff response: These items have been provided. No further comments.
3. Show all of the four Phase 1 trees located on the north side of the parking lot on the Phase 2
plan.
Staff response: The perimeter parking lot trees required on the north side of the parking lot are shown on
the plan, as Phase 1 trees. No further comments.
4. Include this note on the Phase 2 landscape plan: All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be
allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited.
Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant.
Staff response: The note has been added. No further comments.
5. Provide a complete lighting/photometric plan as part of the site plan. Include all exterior
lighting, both site lights and wall lights.
Staff response: A photometric plan has been provided but it is not complete. It does not include a
luminaire schedule and cut sheets for all proposed fixtures were not included in the site plan. Revise the
site plan to include a luminaire schedule that includes all proposed design features for all exterior lighting
— both site and wall lights. Include manufacturer's cut sheets for each fixture in the site plan. Ensure that
the cut sheets show that each fixture that emits 3000 lumens or more is a full cutoff fixture. Resubmittal
required.
6. Coordinate all drawings to clearly distinguish Phase 1 and Phase 2 work.
Staff response: The notes regarding Phase 1 landscaping need clarification. Revise note 1 on the
demolition plan C3.1 to read as follows: "Preserve trees and shrubs in this area if possible. If unable to
protect during construction, replace with same species and size." Revise all other similar notes throughout
the plan, as well (for example, on sheet C2.0). Add the Phase 1 landscape schedule to the landscape plan
C7.1 (to facilitate replacement of plants in the event that demolition occurs) and add a note referring back
to the demolition plan. Also, the numbered list of notes on the demolition plan C3.1 does not correspond
to numbered notes on that plan. Revise the C3.1 note list to coordinate with the plan. Resubmittal
required.
7. Add shrubs at the west end of the transformer pad to screen the equipment from the Entrance
Corridor.
Staff response: The site plan shows five abelia added west and south of the transformer. The applicant's
response memo indicates that shrubs can't be added in this location and a white vinyl fence is proposed.
A white vinyl fence is not shown on the plan and it is not expected to have an appropriate appearance for
the EC. The shrubs are appropriate. Please clarify the transformer screening situation. If a fence is
proposed, provide for review an alternate material /color that will blend with the surroundings, and ensure
that the site plan includes the corresponding fence detail. Resubmittal required.
8. Add this note to the site and architectural plans: Mechanical equipment shall not be visible
from the Entrance Corridor.
Staff response: The note has been added to the site plan but the architectural plans were not submitted.
Provide the architectural plans for review. Include this note on the architectural plans: "Mechanical
equipment shall not be visible from the Entrance Corridor."
Resubmittal required.
9. Provide planting at the west end of the south elevation.
Staff response: Seven ilex crenata and one sophora Japonica have been added at the west end of the south
elevation. The three mature oak trees currently located in this area are now proposed to be removed.
Provide updated architectural elevations (line drawings) so that a determination can be made regarding
the need for replacement trees. Also in this area, the retaining wall at the southwest corner of the library
has been revised since the last ARB review. Indicate on the plan the material proposed for the retaining
wall and include a retaining wall detail in the site plan. Provide a material/color sample for review.
Resubmittal required.
10. Provide a material schedule on the architectural elevation drawings.
Staff response: Architectural drawings were not submitted. Provide the architectural drawings listed in the
ARB final SDP checklist for review. Provide a material schedule on the architectural elevation drawings.
Resubmittal required.
11. Indicate if additional wall signs will be proposed for the building. If so, provide complete
information for review (type, location, size, color, material, etc.).
Staff response: The applicant has indicated that no wall signs will be visible from the Entrance Corridor.
The applicant should be aware that approved sign permits are required before signs can be installed on the
building. No further comments.
12. Confirm that no grading will be required after Phase 1 is completed, or provide a Phase 2
grading plan.
Staff response: A grading plan was submitted. No further comments.
13. Submit all final ARB review documents.
Staff response: The submittal failed to include all the items listed in the ARB final SDP checklist. Provide
the following items for review.
D. Lighting plan showing the following (drawn to the scale of l " =20' or larger, clearly legible and
folded):
❑ Lighting schedule identifying all proposed light fixtures, poles and brackets.
❑ Manufacturer's cut sheets illustrating proposed lighting fixtures and information on
illumination type, intensity, style, shielding, color, finish, and installation height.
E. Appearance of the building(s) (architectural elevations, color perspective sketches, site
sections):
❑ Dimensioned architectural elevations of the proposed building(s). Elevations must be drawn
to the scale of 1/8 " =F -0 ". Include a building materials schedule and key on the elevation
drawings.
❑ One set of all building materials / colors.
❑ A floor plan adequate to show exterior walls, windows and doors.
Resubmittal required.
14. Window glass reflectance off the outside pane shall be limited to 7 %.
Staff response: The applicant indicated in a memo that glass reflectance shall be 7 %. The information
must appear on an approved drawing. Provide the glass specifications for review and include the glass
spec, including the 7% reflectance off the outside pane, in the materials schedule. Resubmittal required.
Please provide:
1. One full set of revised drawings addressing each of the above comments where resubmittal is
required. 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.
