Hines) Magisterial District Scottsville Proposal To construct a Wegman's grocery store as the first phase of development of a shopping center with 470,00 sf of buildings and associated site improvements on approximately 66 acres. None of the other shopping center buildings are proposed at this time. Context The site is bounded on the north by Moore's Creek and the Willoughby subdivision. A portion of the site adjacent to 5th Street falls within the City of Charlottesville. The remaining parcels fall within the 164 and Avon Street Entrance Corridors. In the vicinity on Avon Street is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential development. In the vicinity along 164 are the Holiday Inn and Christian Aid Mission to the west and the Joint Security Complex across 164 to the southeast. A number of residential developments, including apartment complexes, have been constructed in the vicinity adjacent to 164. A warehouse currently stands on the site. It is surrounded by a paved area that is surrounded by a wooded area. Visibility Site sections provided at the October 7, 2013 work session showed that the upper part of the Wegman's building will be visible from the 164 Entrance Corridor. The view will be through trees that stand in the right -of -way, and trees added with this proposal. The corner towers and the main 80' -tall tower will have greater visibility than the main walls of the building due to the increased height. The site sections also showed that the southeast corner of the building will be minimally visible from the Avon Street bridge over 164 in winter. The view from Avon Street at the entrance to the site will be of Bent Creek Parkway (the road leading to and around the development), the graded slopes along that road, and the park- and -ride lot. The Wegman's towers will also likely be visible from 5th Street. It is anticipated that the cleared site and illumination in the development will make the site evident from the corridors even if detailed views of the buildings are not available. ARB Meeting Date February 3, 2014 Staff Contact Margaret Maliszewski PROJECT HISTORY DATE APPLICATION RESULT 4/15/2013 Initial Site Plan The ARB reviewed the Initial Site Plan for this proposal and provided comments. See Attachment A for the action letter. 10/7/2013 Work Session The ARB held a work session on the 5th Street Station proposal with the focus of the discussion on the visibility of the Wegman's building from the ECs, including a review of site sections, planting and fence design for screening of loading areas, site and building lighting, and building height. CHANGES TO THE PROPOSAL Primary changes to the proposal since the last review include the following: 1. The retaining wall at the southwest corner of the site has been deleted by shifting the building and revising the parking layout. 2. A berm and landscaping are shown along the I64 side of the site. The fence discussed at the work session is not proposed at this time. ANALYSIS Please note the following: DG# refers to the action letter comments listed under "regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines." F# refers to the action letter comments provided "for future ARB submittals /reviews." GP# refers to the action letter comment listed under "conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit." In addition to the items listed in Table A, this analysis refers to site sections and photo - perspectives reviewed at the 10/7/2013 work session. The work session illustrations will be available for viewing at the 2/3/2014 meeting.

Revise the massing of the Wegman's and Major Tenant A buildings to reflect the traditional architecture of the area. Break up the mass into components whose scale reflects that of the traditional architecture of the area. 2. Revise the Wegman's and Major Tenant A buildings to reduce the visual effect from the Entrance Corridors. 3. Revise the massing of Wegman's and Major Tenant A buildings to a scale that does not overpower the natural setting. 4. Eliminate the visual effect of the loading /service /refuse areas from the Entrance Corridors. 5. Revise the interface between the site layout and the existing surrounding topography which is visible from the Entrance Corridors to better transition between the proposed shopping terrace and the existing grades, using a combination of planting, material, terracing, and other strategies to more effectively correspond to the guidelines. 6. Revise the plan to show consistent and adequate planting area free of utilities and easements along the 164 side of the site, to a width sufficient to mitigate visual impact from the Entrance Corridor. 12 7. Provide planting area for trees along Bent Creek Parkway from Avon Street at least to the intersection of Bent Creek Parkway with the first turnoff for the Major Tenant A building, consistent with the approved landfill work plan. Regarding recommended conditions of initial site plan approval: 1. Approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: 1. Provide a conservation plan checklist. Show all the checklist items on the plan. The ARB also provided the following comments for future ARB submittals /reviews: 1. Provide adequate visible representation such as site sections animations digital models of existing topography and proposed development to clarify the degree of visibility of the development from the Entrance Corridors, the visibility of the Major Tenant A loading areas from the EC, and to show how equipment, particularly rooftop equipment, will be made invisible from the Entrance Corridors. Consider flying balloons at proposed building corners to further clarify visibility. 2. Break down the massing of the Wegman's and Major Tenant A buildings with form, color and architectural detailing to reflect the traditional architecture of the area and to reflect human scale. 3. Reduce the amount of blank wall on the Entrance Corridor. 4. Where visible from the Entrance Corridors, provide a tower design whose form, materials and color respect the traditions of local historic buildings. 5.
