The ARB provided comments at the May 18, 2009 meeting and determined that the building form and landscaping for the south elevation could be reviewed administratively. Emailed the applicant on June 4, 2009 and requested the following changes to the landscape plan: Add the following note to Sheet 4 Landscape Plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant." The 4 Viburnum planted in front of the south elevation of the wing closest to the EC will reach a mature height of only 8' -10', which is not sufficient to screen the approximately 20' of blank wall on each bay flanking the central bay with windows. Revise the plantings in front of the south elevation to show trees that have a taller mature height. In the southeast corner of the Phase 1 block, 1 QP and 11 IG are shown on the plan, but do not correspond to any plantings shown on the plan in that area. Either eliminate 1 QP and 11 IG or show to what plants these labels correspond. On the south corner of the south elevation the landscape plan states that there are 5 FG, but only 4 are shown. Also, the plan states that 9 VP are planted in front of the south elevation, but only 4 are shown. Revise the drawing so that the number of plantings corresponds to the label identifying the plantings. The ARB determined at the May 18, 2009 meeting that staff could review the building form and landscaping for the south elevation administratively. Emailed the applicant on June 4, 2009 and requested the following changes to the landscape plan.

Jefferson Street Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: Old Trail Village, Blocks 1 & 2 Shared Parking Analysis Dear Mr. Collins: You have provided a parking analysis that supports the provision of 449 parking spaces to serve Blocks 1 & 2 in Old Trail Village. Proposed Block 1 uses include 78 residential units, 20,898 square feet of gross leasable area of restaurant /retail, 20,898 square feet of gross leasable area for office and 7,216 square feet for an athletic facility. Proposed Block 2 includes 10,500 square feet of gross leasable area of office space as well as a facility for the elderly consisting of 40 assisted living beds and 78 congregate care dwelling units and 40 employees. I agree with the conclusion of your Parking Analysis, dated May 5, 2009, that a shared parking arrangement utilizing 449 parking spaces to serve the proposed uses is reasonable. This is based primarily on the difference in peak demand for parking between the office use and the residential, restaurant/ retail & athletic facility uses described below. I also found it to be significant that this is a reduction of 20.5% which is less than the 35% allowed by the ordinance in section 4.12.10.d. The basis for this approval is further explained as follows: 1. The zoning ordinance requires 392 spaces for Block 1 (assuming the shopping center standard for developments containing between 200,001 and 600,000 gross leasable area) and 173 spaces for Block 2 based on section 4.12.6.

Your analysis, based on ULI figures, indicates that Block 1 will experience an overall maximum parking demand of 424 spaces and that Block 2 will require 107 spaces. This results in a deficit of 82 spaces with the provision of 449 spaces. The percentage of this reduction is 15 %. 3. It is recognized that the residential, restaurant/retail and athletic facility all share a peak demand around 6 P.M. (Block 1) However, this is off set by the office use that experiences a different peak time. 4. As Old Trail Village has been developed as a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, it is anticipated that many of the patrons of the village and residents of the neighborhood will consider walking, as well as other modes, as a reasonable mode of transportation. 5. The pool in Block 3 is not adjacent to Blocks 1 & 2. It is not factored into this determination. At this time, the additional parking that would be provided by Block 3 will not be necessary, but it is recognized that there are future shared parking opportunities in Block 3. In the event that parking issues become evident in Old Trail Village later, available parking opportunities within Block 3 may be explored during the course of future development. Please cont_ you have questions. Sin • - i 1 j, Ronald L. Higgins, AICP Chief of Zoning CALg," l4" II o .

Shared Parking Agreement] On sheet S -1 the note stating that Phase II will remain as aak,tx level grass field for parking for Block 1 is not acceptable. Since Block 1 and 2 are sharing I parking, and Block 1 needs the parking that is shown in Phase II, the parking must be built otherwise the percentage of shared parking will exceed the percentage that was approved. Revl: In your response letter you state that "the parking between Block 1, phase 1 and Block 2, phase 1 is more than adequate for the initial phases of these two blocks ", if this is the case you need to break out the parking per phase in the required parking chart to show how it is being met. It appears that the parking for Phase 2 in Block 2 is needed, since the temporary parking lot was located there. Could you just put the building in Phase 2 and include the parking in Phase 1? 1 Shared Parking Agreement] The parking information on sheet T -2 does not match the approved letter from Ron Higgins date 7/1/2009.
