RE: ARB- 2011 -112: Stonefield Town Center
Dear Chris,
I have reviewed your recent submittals for the above - referenced project. The revisions included in these
drawings resolve the outstanding conditions of approval outlined by the ARB on October 17, 2011. You may
consider this letter your Certificate of Appropriateness.
This approval is predicated on the fact that the design and materials, as proposed and exhibited for review, will
be used. The acceptance of approval implies that the applicant has agreed to execute the design as indicated on
the site plan, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal items presented. Any change in the approved
design or materials will require an amendment to the plan and must be reviewed and approved by the
Architectural Review Board.
Please note the following:
1. Lighting was removed from the site plan to speed approval. If site and/or wall lights are desired, a site plan
amendment and additional review /approval by the ARB are required. For easy reference, outstanding lighting
issues from this review are listed below:
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, 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.
2. The ARB agreed to resolve sign and awning design after site plan approval. For easy reference, outstanding
sign /awning comments from this review are listed below:
a) 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.
b) Unlimited awning design on Bond Street is acceptable. Others must be reviewed as part of the
comprehensive sign review.
Please note that Certificates of Appropriateness are valid for the same period that the corresponding site plan is
valid. If there is no site plan required for the proposed work, the Certificate of Appropriateness is valid for 3
years. Applicants requesting an extension of the period of validity must do so in writing. The letter must be
received by the Director of Planning prior to the expiration date.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
Principal Planner
