Context and Visibility The proposal is part of the Riverside Village development. The proposed building is located at the back of the development as viewed from the EC. The proposed building is 4 stories tall. It is expected to be visible from the EC, where it will be viewed beyond and above the lower attached and detached residential units that are located nearer the EC street. When the Block 1 buildings fronting Rt. 20 are constructed, visibility of the Block 5 building will be reduced.

(See Attachment A for the action letter from this meeting.) CHANGES SINCE THE INITIAL PLAN REVIEW The site layout just north of the Block 5 building has changed with a circular drive, a path and a civic area. Angled parking in front of the building has been revised to parallel parking. Angled spaces in the parking lot have been changed to perpendicular. The quantity of parking spaces has increased from 48 to 56. The interior parking lot islands have been revised. Light pole locations have shifted. Parking lot light levels have increased. The conservation checklist and landscape schedule have been added to the plan. Planting has been revised. The dumpster location has shifted.

A. 4 The examples contained in Appendix A should be used as a guide for building design: the standard of compatibility with the area's historic structures is not intended to impose a rigid design solution for new development. Replication of the design of the important historic sites in the area is neither intended nor desired. The Guideline's standard of compatibility can be met through building scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional. The Guidelines allow individuality in design to accommodate varying tastes as well as special functional requirements. 9 Building forms and features, including roofs, windows, doors, materials, colors and textures should be compatible with the forms and features of the significant historic buildings in the area, exemplified by (but not limited to) the buildings described in Appendix A [of the design guidelines]. The standard of compatibility can be met through scale, materials, and forms which may be embodied in architecture which is contemporary as well as traditional.

Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor. 8 Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting different types of plant materials that share similar characteristics. Such common elements allow for more flexibility in the design of structures because common landscape features will help to harmonize the appearance of development as seen from the street upon which the Corridor is centered. 32 Landscaping along the frontage of Entrance Corridor streets should include the following: a. Large shade trees should be planted parallel to the Entrance Corridor Street. Such trees should be at least 3% inches caliper (measured 6 inches above the ground) and should be of a plant species common to the area. Such trees should be located at least every 35 feet on center. b. Flowering ornamental trees of a species common to the area should be interspersed among the trees required by the preceding paragraph. The ornamental trees need not alternate one for one with the large shade trees. They may be planted among the large shade trees in a less regular spacing pattern. c. In situations where appropriate, a three or four board fence or low stone wall, typical of the area, should align the frontage of the Entrance Corridor street. d. An area of sufficient width to accommodate the foregoing plantings and fencing should be reserved parallel to the Entrance Corridor street, and exclusive of road right-of-way and utility easements. 33 Landscaping along interior roads: None.

An underground water detention area is located below the parking lot. Trees cannot be planted above this facility. The Spruce on the east side of the lot will limit the impact of interior trees as viewed from the EC. The parking lot is over 600' from the EC, so shrubs around the parking lot would not have a significant visual impact on the EC. 36 Landscaping of buildings and other structures: Not at this time.

Open spaces should be tied into surrounding areas to provide continuity within the Entrance Corridor. e. If significant natural features exist on the site (including creek valleys, steep slopes, significant trees or rock outcroppings), to the extent practical, then such natural features should be reflected in the site layout. If the provisions of Section 32.5.6.n of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance apply, then improvements required by that section should be located so as to maximize the use of existing features in screening such improvements from Entrance Corridor streets. f.

A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. 2. Include proposed architectural plans for review with the next submittal. 3. Indicate if rooftop mechanical equipment is proposed. If it is, clearly show how the building design fully screens the equipment from view. 4. Revise the proposed bollard fixture to one that is entirely full cutoff or one that uses an LED lamp. 5. Specify light pole height on the lighting plan, clearly indicating that the base (if one is proposed) is included in the total height. Total height (pole and base) should not exceed 20'. 6. Add the standard lighting note to the 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." 15 7. Add a tree at the middle of the south side of the parking lot and a tree at the northwest corner of the parking lot. 8. Provide a complete landscape plan with all related details for review. 9. Show the existing tree line, the tree line to remain, and tree protection fencing at the Block 5 perimeter. Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None. Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit: 1. Show the existing tree line, the tree line to remain, and tree protection fencing at the Block 5 perimeter.
