The applicant should submit an ARB application as soon as possible. Conceptual architectural elevations should be included with the submittal. Coordination with the pond on the adjacent parcel should also be addressed. Margaret M.

Subject: RE: Bojangle's Hollymead SP The board always likes to see 3D renderings, but you could submit sections with the application and follow up with the 3D images at the meeting, if that would help get things started. From:Justin Shimp, P.E. [mailto:justin@shimp-engineering.comj Sent:Thursday, August 06, 2015 5:19 PM To: Margaret Maliszewski <MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Subject: Re: Bojangle's Hollymead SP Margaret, yes, thanks for the reminder on that. I was thinking I needed to email you soon on this. I have all of the elevations and such, but not any 3D renderings showing the building on site with the landscaping. Do you think that will be necessary? or could we show a series of cross sections to illustrate the relationship between the road, landscaping and the building?

Please don't forget that this type of SP needs ARB comment (from the board, not just staff) prior to the PC. You'll need to submit an ARB application for an Advisory Review. A plan and architectural elevations should accompany the application. The ARB will be interested to see how the drive-thru features are coordinated architecturally, how landscaping is used to mitigate the impacts of the drive-thru, how the proposal coordinates with the overall shopping center, and how the development ties in with the adjacent pond. It would be best to get the ARB application in as soon as possible, so we can keep things as close to on-schedule as possible. Thanks. Margaret Margaret M.

Note that the "overlook" was the last big outstanding issue.The Photoshop drawings referenced in#5 of the action letter that illustrated a curved design for the overlook appear to be missing from the file. Also for reference,ARB file numbers associated with the adjacent hotel project are: ARB-2008-116 and ARB-2008-160. The last action associated with ARB-2008-160 is dated April 23, 2010. That letter is attached for your information and additional background. Margaret M.

With this information, the initial plan is close enough to the ARB plan that I don't think we need to forward the initial plan on to the ARB for review. I will just forward the ARB's previous comments on to JT. One comment—EC guidelines call for retaining walls over 8' in height to be terraced and planted. I thought the wall was 6' tall max, but I could be remembering that wrong. Margaret From: Kelly Strickland [mailto:kelly@shimp-engineering.com] Sent:Thursday, April 14, 2016 2:35 PM To: Margaret Maliszewski <MMaliszewski@albemarle.org> Cc:Justin Shimp<justin@shimp-engineering.com> Subject: RE: Bojangle's Hollymead Hello Margaret, I just left you a lengthy voice mail and decided I should put this in writing for you. The initial site plan for the Bojangles Restaurant should have included the missing trees you mention below. They were included on both the ARB and SUP application plans and there is no intent to stray from this layout. We did however, with our initial site plan submittal, include an offsite road connection (through a potential future hotel site (parcel 41D5)) to Timberwood Blvd. The connection road requires grading and an extension of the block wall that is shown on the aforementioned ARB and SUP application plans. In the most recent ARB submittal, the wall is labelled "Proposed Wall Max Ht=8 FT Segmented Stacking Block. Eagle Bay Diamond Pro,James River Color" and there is no intent to change the wall material. It is our intention to continue (in a consistent manner) the landscaping that has been shown below the wall on the Bojangles site across the length of the offsite wall. We apologize that we missed these details with the initial site plan submittal and we will include a detailed landscape plan with the final site plan submittal. I hope this makes sense. Please call if you'd like to discuss further.

Why were these trees removed? 2. The retaining wall has been extended significantly.The note on the plan says, "standing block retaining wall". Is this meant to be "stacking" block? If not, please describe "standing" block. 3. I'm trying to determine if the initial plan needs to go to the ARB. Can you list any other changes made to the plan since the last ARB review? Thanks.
