RE: ARB- 2013 -157: Stonefield Phase 2 ( Costco) Final Site Plan and Building Plans
Dear Mr. Haine:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
November 18, 2013. The Board, by a vote of 5:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval
of the following conditions:
1. Add a phasing line or a note regarding future development to the plan.
2. Add this note to the site and architectural plans: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
3. Clarify the photometric plan to show that spillover does not exceed .5 footcandles at the west end
of the site where there are adjacent residential properties. Revise the photometric plan to include
footcandle readings at the east end of the site. Be sure to include the property line along Rt. 29 on
the photometric plan and include readings out to zero or to the property line.
4. Provide confirmation from the manufacturer indicating that the Sign -Vue LED fixture emits no light
above the horizontal plane.
5. Clearly identify in the lighting tables or notes that bronze is the proposed finish for all fixtures and
poles.
6. Limit all pole lights to a maximum of 20' high, including bases.
7. Provide documentation from Dominion Virginia Power that there is no objection to the proposed
planting in the Dominion easement.
8. Add a tree (GT) in the gap on the south side of the easternmost arm of District Avenue in the
vicinity of the striped median.
9. Intersperse ornamental trees and shrubs in the row of GT trees on the north side of District Avenue,
westward from the Rt. 29 entrance into the site.
10. Consider additional trees in the parking lots located between the Costco store and District Avenue
to offset building and parking impacts.
11. Revise the plans to resolve all conflicts among trees, light poles, pipes, etc.
12. Add the green screen locations to the landscape plan.
13. Coordinate the landscape plan and elevation drawings regarding shrubs.
14. Consider reducing the length of the fuel canopy by 16'.
15. Reduce the light levels under the gas canopy to not exceed 30 footcandles.
16. Provide confirmation from the manufacturer indicating that the Sign -Vue LED fixture emits no light
above the horizontal plane.
17. Provide a photograph of an installed example of the fuel canopy sign and light fixture for review.
18. Identify the heights of the Costco, Wholesale and Gasoline letters on the sign drawings.
19. Revise the color of the garage doors to more closely match the wall surrounding them.
20. Enhance the design of the northeast corner of the building to address the entrance corridor
guidelines.
21. Mitigate the visibility of the overhead doors from the EC with additional evergreens.
22. If the SWM pond remains beyond completion of the stabilization of the Costco development,
submit a landscape plan for review and approval.
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.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
