RE: ARB201500055 Fifth Street Station
Dear Mr. Hines,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on
Monday, June 15, 2015. The Board, by a vote of 3:0 approved the request, pending staff
administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Revise the building design to significantly reduce the proportion of white and other light -
colored materials on the 164 elevation of the Dick's /Field & Stream /Harvey's /Fitness building.
2. Provide side elevations and /or other details to clarify the design of the metal roof, wood
siding and stone piers in the Field & Stream elevation.
3. Further modify the design of the building between the easternmost brick pier of Dick's and
the westernmost stone pier of Field & Stream to reduce blankness.
4. Coordinate the plans and elevations regarding the division of tenant spaces.
5. Provide material samples for review.
6. Provide details showing how much change in depth is provided by the various pilasters and
piers used in the building.
7. Include rooftop equipment on the elevation drawings (dashed outlines are sufficient) to show
that the equipment won't be visible from the ECs.
8. Clarify the location of the screening walls on the elevation drawings.
9. 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."
10. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0.
11. Continue the mixed tree planting approved for Wegman's along the Dick's /Field &
Stream /Harvey's /Fitness property line (up to the wooded area to remain).
12. Revise the regular row of American holly and Norway spruce at the top of the living retaining wall
to a more irregular, informal row of evergreens including a greater number of species, and
extend this planting beyond the west end of the living retaining wall.
13. Provide photos and addresses of local examples of living retaining walls constructed from the
same manufacturer's product. Update the retaining wall details and landscape plan to address
the plants proposed to be used on the wall. A mix of plants is recommended. Indicate on the
plan that the wall will be irrigated.
14. Eliminate the background panel from the Dick's wall sign. Note that sign applications and
additional review will be required for all wall and freestanding signs.
15. Rear elevations of the front fagade parapets should reflect the design shown on E1 — E1 Winter
view presented on June 15, 2015.
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
