QUORUM MAY 15, 2017
Staff noted that there were additional items that staff wanted input on, but that did not require formal
action from the ARB.
Regarding the earlier Oakleigh discussion, the ARB members suggested that the applicant should provide
a memo documenting their efforts to coordinate planting in the utility easements.
a. ARB -2017-43: Mechum's Trestle amendment
Staff reported on material changes proposed for the Mechum's Trestle restaurant building. After discussing
the information, the ARB members made the following suggestions:
1. Staff review of the proposal is acceptable.
2. A metal brise Soleil is an acceptable replacement for the wooden one.
3. The drawings don't reflect the modification of operating folding doors to fixed storefront windows,
but staff will want this information for review. Fixed aluminum -clad doors would be acceptable.
4. The revised coping material is acceptable, but staff will want the color to be clarified on the
drawings. If the color is not consistent with the previous approval, the applicant should show how
the new color will be coordinated with the overall design.
b. ARB -2017-46: Old Trail Village Block 6, Phase 1
Staff reported that an initial site plan had been submitted for Old Trail Village Block 6, Phase 1. After
considering the location of the project, the distance from the EC, and the size of the building, the ARB
members agreed that staff review of the initial site plan was appropriate.
c. Wineworks: deck
Staff reported on the Wineworks deck proposal. After discussion, the ARB members suggested that:
1. Staff level review is acceptable.
2. If the railing and posts will be pressure treated wood, a stain would be appropriate.
d. Albemarle High School: EC trees
Staff summarized the EC planting proposal for the Albemarle High School frontage. The ARB members
agreed that staff level review was appropriate and suggested that the smaller size street trees were acceptable
because the planting would still represent a major improvement.
