Old Trail Village Block 12, Phase 2 and Phase 3 - Final Site Plan ARB County-Wide Certificate of Appropriateness Submittal Project Description Lots 1A-12A (aka Lots 13-24) of Block 12, Phase 2 and 3, are eight single-family attached townhomes that will front onto Old Trail Drive,with private alley access in the rear. These units are placed with minimal setbacks, rear loaded garages, front porches and varied architectural design that provides an inviting and social atmosphere for pedestrians. The townhomes are connected to the rest of Old Trail Village pedestrian network by a traditional street sidewalk along Old Trail Drive. The streetscape along Old Trail Drive will have the traditional street tree plantings. These townhomes are the continuation of a very successfully single-family type of unit built in a "Classic"Architectural style.There have been over 70 townhome units built to date that have all been visible to the Route 250 corridor at some point. The units are attached in groupings that match many of the early townhome examples within the early 19th and 20th century neighborhoods in the notable historic towns mentioned in the Old Trail Village Code of Development: Williamsburg, Leesburg,Warrenton Charlottesville or Fredericksburg. The design elements of front porches and balconies present a favorable pedestrian scale to the street. Finish materials have been a soft blend of brick,stone and lap siding with shutters attached at windows and attractive detailing on windows, doors and siding transitions. The visibility from Route 250 only affects a small number of these units, and these units will ultimately be shielded from view by future Townhomes along Old Trail Drive. To the South and East, a heavily wooded streambed begins to obscure a majority of the units. The soft earth tones help blend the units to the surrounding landscape without drawing attention to itself.All mechanical equipment will be shielded from view at the Entrance Corridor and the landscaping will adhere to Old Trial's amended landscape standards, which increases plant material along the sides of the unit to further soften the views to Route 250.
