Regarding: RE: ARB-2017-38: Old Trail Village Apartments, Blocks 5, 20, 21— Final Site Plan
Ms. McMahon,
Thank you for your review and feedback on the plans for Old Trail. The following changes have been made in response
to your comments:
1. All trees planted parallel to interior roads and in parking areas must be at least 2.5-inch caliper (measured six
inches above the ground) and should be planted at least every 40 feet on center.
All large shade trees along interior roads and on the perimeter parking areas have been adjusted to be a
maximum of 40 feet apart. 2.5-inch caliper trees have been specified on Plant Schedule (C17) and Note 4.
2. All shrubs must measure at least 24 inches in height.
All shrub species have been adjusted to be 24" or higher. See Plant Schedule (C17).
3. Reduce the total number of Ilex Glabra'Shamrock' (IGS, 118) so that it is not greater than 25% the total number
of shrubs.
Ilex Glabra'Shamrock' plantings have been reduced to less than 25% of shrubs. See Plant Schedule (C17).
4. All light levels must be 30 foot candles or lower. There is one value of 31.1 f.c. which must be reduced.
Light levels have been adjusted, and none exceed 26.1 f.c. across site. See Lighting Plan (C19).
5. If wall -mounted lights are proposed, they must be drawn on the architectural elevations and manufacturer's
specifications, cut sheets, and a lighting schedule must be submitted for ARB review. Photometric values emitted
from wall -mounted lights must be added to the lighting plan.
No wall -mounted lights are proposed.
6. Add the standard mechanical note to the architectural drawings: Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.
Comment has been noted by architect.
Thank you again for your time and please let us know if you have any additional questions about what is shown in this
