Review Status:Requested Changes
Reviews Comments:1. Plants shown in the 10’ landscape buffer may need to be revised to satisfy ARB conditions of
approval.
2. Buildings are not oriented parallel to the EC, as is required by the guidelines. Reduced visibility
from the EC can reduce the importance of orientation in this case.
3. If the BMP is visible from the EC, the engineered feature will need to be revised to look like a
landscape feature that is visually integrated into the surrounding landscape.
4. EC guidelines state that “site grading should maintain the basic relationship of the site to
surrounding conditions by limiting the use of retaining walls and sloping the terrain through the use of
smooth, rounded land forms that blend with the existing terrain. Steep cut or fill sections are generally
unacceptable.” The proposal does not appear to meet this guideline. Reduced visibility from the EC
can reduce the emphasis placed on this guideline in this case.
5. It would be helpful to have the following information to facilitate ARB review of the proposal:
a. Site sections to clarify anticipated visibility of the development from the I-64 Entrance Corridor.
b. Include on the site plans the location of the I64 edge of pavement.
c. Include on the grading plan the topography in the I64 right-of-way.
