K Charlottesville, Va. 22902 RE: ARB-2016-22: Sunset Overlook Dear Mr. Collins, The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Friday, April 1, 2016. The Board, by a vote of 3:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the conditions listed below. A plan with the revision date of 5/16/16 was submitted and review comments were sent on 5/31/16. Another revision with the date of 6/29/16 has been submitted. Updated comments are provided within the underlined text below. Identify existing individual large shade, evergreen and ornamental trees to remain on the plan by size and species to show that the minimum EC frontage tree requirement can be met. If the requirement can't be met, show additional new trees to be planted to meet the requirement. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Include a table for preserved trees that are to meet the EC frontage tree requirement. The table should specify the tree symbol (ex. QP) used in the plan, the botanical name, the common name, the quantity and the trees should be categorized by tree type (ex. large shade trees, ornamental trees, evergreen trees, etc). Label each preserved tree utilized to meet the EC frontage tree requirments with tree symbol and size. Trees within Lot 9 or Lot 10 can not count toward this requirement. Move trees to be within the open space if they are to be part of the EC frontage tree calculation. Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. The symbology for the trees, in the preserved area, is not accurate. There are multiple circumstances of mismatch in the labels and symbols used for the existing and proposed trees. For example, there is a 36" Maple that is represented by the same symbol specified as "evergreen" under "Type of Tree" in the preservation tables. The two letter designation of "CL" is specified as Leyland Cypress, which is an evergreen, in the plant schedule. However, the tree symbol that the "CL" label is pointing towards is the same tree symbol that is specified for "ornamental trees" under "Type of Tree" in the preservation tables. Clarify the symbology and labels for all of the existing and proposed trees. Also, add to the Entrance Corridor street tree calculation a subsection for the 32. b) requirement for ornamental trees. Page 1 of 4 2. If the existing trees within the open space along Rt. 631 are meant to be preserved add a note specifying that. Rev. 1: When using preserved trees to meet the EC frontage tree requirement preservation methods need to be utilized. Accurately represent the driplines of any existing tree being included in the calculation for the EC frontage tree requirement. Grading and the limits of clearing and grading are shown within the dripline of some of the trees that seem to be specified as being preserved. preservation methods are required when grade changes would otherwise impact the area within their dripline. "Free wells are needed when the ground would otherwise be raised, and tree walls are needed when ground would otherwise be lowered, within the dripline of a preserved tree. If tree wells or tree walls are to be utilized to preserve trees provide the required details for the tree well and/or tree walls. Rees. 2: Comment Addressed. 3. Adjust the tree protection fencing and/or the existing tree line so that they accurately represent the extents of the retained existing wooded area. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed. 4. Modify the mechanical notes to state that the HVAC unit will be "... located in the north side yard of the house or at the rear of the douse screened or enclosed with a fence or landscaping." Rev. 1: Comment Addressed. 5. Confirm there are no utilities or utility easements between the existing pedestrian trail and lots 9 and 10. Show any utilities or easements if they exist. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed. 6. Include a landscape calculation for the street trees along the interior streets and along Sunset Avenue Extended. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Modify landscaping note #3 to specify that the calculation is for "interior" street trees. Modify the required tree counts, in the notes by the streets, so that they match the number of required trees in note #3. Rev. 2: Gon-krnent Addressed. 7. Add at least one medium shade trees along the proposed pedestrian path in the open space area between the existing wooded area and the cul-de-sac and lots 9 and 10. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed. 8. Design the pedestrian connector to the asphalt path to minimize its impact on the buffer and existing landscape. Show details for any stairs and railings that are required for the proposed pedestrian path. Rev. J : Consider revisina the design of the stairs and railings for the pedestrian connection to Old Lynchburg Road to utilize materials that would reduce future maintenance requirements and issues. Rev. 2:_Conima nt Addressed. 9. Show the tree protection fencing on the grading and erosion and sediment control sheets. Rev. 1: Comment Addressed. 10. Add a mix of native plantings or maintain existing plant material to ensure a screen of the southwest corner of the development from the EC. Rev. 1: Move the proposed pin oak to be fully within the open space and not on the edge of the Lot 10 property line. rees within Lot 10 cannot be counted towards this requirement. Ray. 2:Cornin rit Ad?d,ressed. Page 2 of 4 11. Move the Limits of Clearing and Grading and Tree Protection Fencing note for the wooded area along the EC so that it points at the protective fencing: If the limits and the fencing are not in the same place clarify the notes and lines.
