RE: ARB-2017-15: Northtown Phase 211
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
April 3, 2017. The Board, by a vote of4:0, approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions:
1. Provide for review large EIFS sample panels including reveals.
2. Provide manufacturers information on the colorfastness of the EIFS material in the colors proposed.
3. Revise the Nichiha "brick" panel to brick that matches Gander Mountain (Old Virginia Brick Poplar
Forest).
4. Revise the bright white stone for the retail building to an off-white shade that coordinates better with
the other building colors.
5. Provide the Lymstone Gray and Freedom Gray color samples for review.
6. Revise the north elevation of the Buffalo wild Wings building to increase the architectural detailing
and reduce the amount of yellow EIFS. A reduction of 2/3 as suggested by applicant is reasonable.
7. Indicate Building 1 as future development,
8. Include the standard window glass note on the architectural drawings and provide a glass sample(s)
and specs for review.
9. Provide a roof plan and elevations showing rooftop equipment locations and sizes. Ensure that
equipment is not visible from the EC.
10. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the site and architectural drawings.
11. Correct the photometric plan to eliminate spillover in excess of .5 fc.
12. Provide site and building lighting with consistent lamp types for a coordinated appearance.
13. Coordinate tree and pole light locations in the parking islands.
14. Identify on the lighting plan the locations of the WPI fixtures, or eliminate the cut sheet from the
drawings.
15. Revise the landscape plan to provide a total of 13 large shade trees with 2%" caliper planting size in
interior parking lot locations.
16. Note the following information regarding signs: signs mounted on roofs are not allowed by ordinance,
internally illuminated graphics may not be approvable as illustrated, and maximum sign sizes are
outlined in Zoning Ordinance Chapter 18, Section 4.15.
The ARB noted that the reduced amount of yellow EIFS is being considered as an accent color —not as a
branded color. Regarding the round graphic signs, the ARB noted that the yellow color and internal
illumination are not consistent with the guidelines.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the
changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal' form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staffs review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
