RE:ARB- 2014 -140: The Shops at Stonefield Phase 2 Block G
Dear Mr. Lorey,
Fax (434) 972 -4126
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on January 5, 2015, completed a preliminary
review of the above -noted request to construct four retail buildings and associated site improvements in Block
G of the Stonefield town center. The Board offered the following comments for the benefit of the applicant's
next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and changes to the plan.
1. Indicate awning manufacturer, colors and color numbers on the elevation drawings.
2. Provide a sample of the gray metal and the tile.
3. Revise the materials list to indicate color names, color numbers and manufacturer names for each
material and color.
4. Provide samples for Sherwin Williams and Sto colors and any colors not approved for the first phase
of development.
5. Coordinate the G2 south elevations in the color perspective and the line drawing.
6. Correct the labels on the north and east elevations of Building G2.
7. Revise the north elevation of G1 to present a more appropriate appearance consistent with the
building's location at a major corner of the development. Incorporate additional fenestration and
upgraded materials. The options 2 and 3 presented at the 1/5/15 meeting are appropriate. Revise the
south elevation of G2 in a similar manner. The junipers shown on the south side of G2 maybe revised
to deciduous trees when these changes are made. Increase the landscaping to better screen the
parking lot between G2 and G4 as viewed from Rt. 29.
8. Add the window glass note to the architectural plans: Window glass in the Entrance Corridors should
meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below 40 %. Visible light
reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30 %. Specifications on the proposed window glass should be
submitted with the application for final review.
9. Add landscaping to improve the appearance of the G1 service area screen wall.
10. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to both the site and architectural drawings. Visibility of
all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
11. Revise the lighting plans to show all wall- and ground- mounted lights.
12. Revise the lighting plan to eliminate overlapping notes and to make the drawing fully legible.
13. Regarding the lighting plan, confirm that the bronze note refers to light fixtures P2, P3, P4 and XB1.
14. Include a note on the lighting plan indicating that the maximum overall height of the Selux decorative
pole light is 12'.
15. Revise the plan to show the low wall at the G4 patio.
16. Revise the plans to show tree protection fencing for the landscaping along the EC frontage and the
entrance drive.
17. Submit a comprehensive sign criteria proposal for Block G.
18. Coordinate all planting with utilities and easements. Provide documentation from easement holders
that there is no objection to the proposed planting.
19. Consider incorporating a site wall to help screen parking along the EC. Or increase the density and
height of planting along the parking edge to minimize the impact of the parking on the EC. Shrubs
should be a minimum of 30" high at planting.
20. Enhance the planting along the pedestrian path to provide a more generous tree coverage to
minimize the visual impact of the parking as viewed from the Rt. 29 EC.
21. The revisions for 7, 19 and 20 should return for a work session.
Please submit 6 sets of revised drawings addressing comments 7, 19 and 20 by 10 AM on January 13 for
these items to be reviewed at an ARB work session on January 20.
Following the work session, the ARB may choose to approve your proposal, pending staff administrative
approval of the remaining items listed above. In that case, two sets of revised drawings addressing those items
(and any new or revised comments made at the January 20 work session) will be required. Please be sure the
revised drawings include updated revision dates. Also, please provide a memo including detailed responses
indicating how each comment has been addressed, and the attached "Revised Application Submittal' form. If
changes other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting
the changes in the drawings with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval. If the ARB
chooses to take an alternate action following the work session, the next steps in the process will be outlined in
an updated letter to you.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
