RE: SDP -2016-17: Bojangle's Restaurant at Hollymead
DATE: April 22, 2016
Based on the ARB's December 21, 2015 action on ARB -2015-112: Bojangle's, I'm forwarding the
following recommendations on SDP -2016-17.
Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c(2), (3) and (5) and
recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. Revised drawings addressing
the following issues are required.
1. Add the standard window glass note to the architectural drawings: Window glass in the Entrance
Corridors should meet the following criteria: Visible light transmittance (VLT) shall not drop below
4001o. Visible light reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 3001o.
2. Show the locations of rooftop and ground -mounted equipment on the plans and architectural
elevations. Show how the equipment will be screened from view.
3. Provide additional trees and shrubs to mitigate the impacts of the drive-thru lane on the north side of
the site as viewed from the EC.
4. Revise the plan to make the plants in the landscape easement legible, and to identify on the plan and
in the schedule all proposed plants north of the parcel.
5. Clarify with a note(s) on the plan that all of the planting proposed on the pond parcel will be
completed with the construction of the Bojangle's development.
6. Label all drive-thru related elements on the plan.
7. Revise the color of the rainguard to a more neutral shade. Bronze would be appropriate.
8. Provide details on the size and finishes of all the drive-thru related equipment.
9. Revise the plan to include a treatment for the manhole and headwall that establishes an appropriate
appearance for the EC. Provide details. Treatment shall not be limited to landscaping. Coordinate this
treatment with the existing and proposed walls and landscaping.
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. Provide a complete lighting plan for review. Match new fixtures to existing fixtures in the shopping
center.
12. Revise the rainguard to eliminate views of its light fixture.
13. Increase the proportion of shrubs in the shrub/perennial planting along the EC frontage.
14. Shift the shrub groups to screen the parking spaces and drive-thru lane that front the corridor.
15. Terrace retaining walls 6' in height or taller, or show why the terracing isn't necessary to establish an
appropriate appearance along the EC.
