RE:
SDP - 2013 -58: Rolkin Road Retail Center
DATE:
December 16, 2013
At its meeting on December 16, 2013, the ARB took the following actions on the Rolkin Road Retail Center:
ARB- 2013 -164 and SDP - 2013 -58:
1. The ARB forwarded the recommendations outlined in the staff report to the agent for the Site Review
Committee, as follows:
— Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18- 30.6.4(2), (3) and (5):
o As per § 32.4.2.2(b)(3) and 30.6.4(c)(3) and EC Guidelines 35a, it is not clear that sufficient planting
area is available along the north and west sides of the site to accommodate required trees and shrubs.
Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
• A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The applicant shall
submit an application for a Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a structure located behind
a structure that fronts the EC.
• Provide additional information to clarify the type and location of utilities existing and /or planned
along Rolkin and Abbey Roads. Provide planting in these areas to meet EC requirements or alternate
planting of comparable size and quantity. Options might include: Provide the largest tree species
acceptable to the easement holders, along with documentation that the easement holders do not
object to the planting. Or provide large shade trees, 2%2" caliper at planting, 40' on center, in planting
areas free of easements along Rolkin and Abbey Roads. Or add three islands with trees along the
Rolkin side and three along the Abbey Road side of the site to compensate for the perimeter trees.
Coordinate the proposed planting with the retaining wall along Rolkin Road.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: None.
2. The ARB offered the following comments on the initial plan for the benefit of the applicant's next ARB
submittal:
1. Coordinate the design of the drive -thru window with the overall architecture of the building.
2. Carefully consider the form, illumination and materials (including the type and amount of glass
used) in the tower design.
3. The design of the building should be compatible with the existing buildings in the area.
4. Coordinate building materials with those used in existing buildings in the area.
5. Avoid a blank wall on the west elevation by incorporating sufficient design details. If blank areas are
still anticipated after design details are included, revise the layout to include planting area along the
wall.
6. Include information on the architectural plans and elevations to show that visibility of rooftop
equipment will be eliminated.
7. Add the following note to the site and the architectural plans: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment
from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
8. Provide additional information to clarify the type and location of utilities existing and/or planned
along Rolkin and Abbey Roads. Provide planting in these areas to meet EC requirements or alternate
planting of comparable size and quantity. Options might include: Provide the largest tree species
acceptable to the easement holders, along with documentation that the easement holders do not
object to the planting. Or provide large shade trees, 21/2" caliper at planting, 40' on center, in planting
areas free of easements along Rolkin and Abbey Roads. Or add three islands with trees along the
Rolkin side and three along the Abbey Road side of the site to compensate for the perimeter trees.
Coordinate the proposed planting with the retaining wall along Rolkin Road.
9. Increase the size of interior parking lot trees to 21/2" caliper minimum at planting. Increase the size of
shrubs to 24" high minimum at planting. Consider increasing the variety of proposed shrubs species
to a minimum of four different species.
10. Add the following note to the 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."
11. Remove Lighting Note #2 from Sheet 2. Provide complete lighting information for review. Calculate
photometrics using a light loss factor of 1.0 and note the light loss factor on the plan.
12. Add the following note to the site plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits
3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to
reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of
lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts
shall not exceed one half footcandle."
13. Include a comprehensive sign proposal with the ARB site plan/building design application.

Re: SDP2013 -00058 Rolkin Road Retail Center— Initial Site Plan
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the initial site plan for Rolkin Road Retail Center located at the intersection of
Rolkin Road and Abbey Road dated 10/28/13 as submitted by Bohler Engineering and offer the
following comments:
1. The entrances for this site will access roads not in the State Highway System and will not
be required by VDOT to be permitted with the State.
2. Ideally, the new entrance shown onto Abbey Road should be removed and the shared
entrance on the property line with the adjacent parcel to the east would be utilized as
access to Abbey Road.
3. The entrance onto Abbey Road does not appear to meet VDOT standards for throat
length.
4. Detail for the proposed storm sewer connection to the existing structure located on
Hickman Road needs to be provided for review. In addition, hydraulic calculations need
to be provided so that the adequacy of the existing storm sewer can be verified.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

Memorandum
To: Ellie Ray, Current Development planning and zoning review
From: Max Greene, Current Development engineering review
Date: 8 January 2014
Subject: Rolkin Road Retail Center (SDP201300058) critical slope waiver request
The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance:
This is an infill lot for the Pantops Shopping Center. The adjacent site plans around the project show no
critical slopes prior to 2001. Since that time critical slopes have been constructed, possibly with the
construction of Hickman Road.
Areas
Acres
Total site
1.67 acres approximately
Critical slopes
0.25
,of site
Critical slopes disturbed
0.25
1 100% of critical slopes
Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable
alternative locations:
This disturbance is not exempt.
Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18 -4.2:
"movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement
of soil.
"excessive stormwater runoff'
Stormwater runoff will be reduced in this area, as the slopes will be eliminated.
"siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Proper
stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
"loss of aesthetic resource"
This area is visible from the roads and houses in the neighborhood. Some of the slopes were created
with the roads.
"septic effluent"
This neighborhood is serviced by public sewer.
Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns which prohibit the disturbance of the critical
slopes as shown.

Recommend moving dumpster location or angle for truck access.
`Left turn lane from Rolkin into site may be warranted with a traffic study of the ultimate build-out design of
shopping center.
`Light pole in center of North-east parking should be moved back from curb 2' to avoid damage/impact with
vehicles.
`Retaining wall type, material, and construction are very important information prior to initial site plan approval.
Cast in place concrete walls have vertical faces verses dry stack walls that step back with each subsequent course
and require more site space and a larger finished product foot print and may narrow travel way below required
width.
`The following will be required prior to final site plan approval:
`Erosion control plan.
`Stormwater drainage profiles and computations proving system adequacy to existing SWM basin. Existing
drainage system on Hickman Road are not connected on the plan, if they are connected in the field please make
the plan match for drainage system adequacy verification and calculations
`Top of proposed wall will require VDOT grade guardrail due to proximity to travel way.
