I have reviewed the site plan (rev. 6/27/14) and canopy elevation sheet (rev. 7- 11 -14) for the Briarwood Commercial
project recently submitted to address my 7/10/2014 comments. I have the following updated comments:
1. As we discussed in email correspondence earlier this week, the note regarding the color for the underside of the fuel
pump canopies does not clearly state the ARB's intent. Please revise the note to clearly state that the color for the
ceilings of the canopies will be the color of the reverse side of the aluminum sample reviewed by the ARB on 6/23/14,
which is an off -white /tan color, not the standard glossy white finish.
2. It has been brought to my attention that retaining wall details have been submitted for engineering review and those
details show that geo -grid will be used for all proposed walls. Plans previously submitted to the ARB for review
indicated that the walls did not use geo -grid. With the new wall details, it appears that the proposed plants cannot be
accommodated as shown. There appears to be only 26" of clear planting area between walls 1 and 2. More space is
required to accommodate the staggered row of shrubs. 6' clear would be appropriate. Please revise the plans
accordingly.
The new wall details also suggest that additional space is needed between proposed trees and the back face of the
walls to limit impacts of the trees on the walls. A formula for calculating the required distance is provided below. The
formula is based on the tree canopy listed in the plant schedule. Please note that trees should be shifted, not
eliminated, to accommodate the required distance, and shrubs do not have a setback requirement. This impacts several
trees at wall 3 and possibly the trees at wall 2. Please revise the plans accordingly.
Canopy sf _ 3.14159 = a
1.25 (�a) = required distance from back face of wall
Example: Red Maple canopy = 452 sf. 452 - 3.14159 = 143.8 1.25 (4 143.8) = 14.99.
Required distance from Red Maple to back face of wall is 15'.
4. Please remove notes from the site plan stating that walls will not use geo -grid.
Please provide:
1. One set of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated 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.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to ensure proper
tracking and distribution.
When staffs 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.
