RE: SDP 201700038 Riverside Village Block I — Final Site Development Plan - ARB
Ms. McMahon,
Thank you for your review of the Final Site Development Plan for Riverside Village Block 1. We have reviewed
and revised the plan per your most recent comments dated August 91h, 2017. Below is a detailed response to
each of your comments.
1. Addressed by architect
2. A Provide all landscaping required by the previously approved site plan. Distinguish on the landscape
plan in the final site plan submittal between the previously approved plants and new plants proposed
with this phase of development. Also clearly identify any previously approved plants that are proposed
to be eliminated from the plan.
Landscape Schedule addresses landscape requirements. Previously approved landscape plantings
addressed in site plan (C940), and planting schedule provided. Existing planting along Riverside
Village entry and Route 20 will be removed because of extent of construction and be planted with
current landscape plan.
3. Addressed by architect
4. Addressed by architect
5. Provide a site plan that shows all dumpster, loading and service areas, storage areas, mechanical
equipment (ground -mounted), above -ground utilities, and any proposed fencing. Provide a roof plan
and elevations that show roof -mounted mechanical equipment locations and sizes. Show how visibility
of all equipment will be eliminated.
All dumpster, loading and service areas, storage areas, mechanical equipment (ground -mounted),
above -ground utilities, and any proposed fencing have been provided on Site Plan.
6. Provide landscape at the dumpster to integrate it into the surroundings.
Landscape has been provided at the dumpster to integrate it into the surroundings.
7. Addressed by architect
8. Provide lighting plan that includes all proposed freestanding and wall -mounted lights with the final site
plan.
Lighting plan has been provided that includes parking lighting, exterior wall mounted lights, and
landscape lighting.
9. Provide a landscape plan in a site plan format. Rectify the omission of plant quantity and symbol on
the plant material schedule and coordinate symbols on the landscape plan for the final site plan
submission.
Plant quantities and annotation has been provided on the landscape plan.
10. Provide the heights and proposed materials of the walls encircling the plazas.
Proposed wall heights have been provided in in site plan, and materials choices are included in
architect's packet.
11. Add street trees in the gaps along the north side of Trailside Drive in the vicinity of the entrance into
the Block 1 parking lot.
Street trees have been added along Trailside Drive where previous gap were left.
12. Add shrubs along the eastern edge of the parking lot where buildings do not block parking spaces from
the EC.
Shrubs have been added along entry corridor to provide parking lot screening.
13. Provide at least two (2) benches in all plazas. Design the northernmost plaza as a focal point of the
block.
The northernmost plaza remains the focal point, by being the larges open space and providing direct
access to Route 20.3 Benches in each interior plaza is provided, and additional benches and seating
for the eastern and western plazas will be provided.
14. Correct the site plans so that the pedestrian connection is a single material.
The pedestrian connection changes material, but is addressing material changes across the site.
Exposed aggregate in concrete (ex. in architect's packet) will have a similar color as existing pavers
beside residences, and will provide a texture change from the surrounding asphalt. The pattern of
concrete and exposed aggregate will be the same language as the ground condition in the plaza
designs. See sheet C9.
15. Provide standard health plant note to the landscape plan: All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall
be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs
and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant.

Riverside Village - Block 1 / Mixed Use : Project Description
This project is located on a commercial entry corridor near the intersection of Route 250 and
Route 20 North. The site is part of a low to medium density commercial and retail while also
adjacent to multi -family housing and new residential development. Beyond the immediate
surrounding context, Route 20N leads to larger residential estates and farms and has a variety
of aesthetic styles and forms that relate to an agrarian architectural style.
This project's massing and form presents both a more modern commercial edge that
corresponds with 20N and a more traditional side that speaks to more conventional roof forms
and materials that could be found as part of the residential neighborhoods and the farms
outside of town. We have used a gabled metal roof combined with a FA roof and parapet to
break up the massing across the depths of the buildings across the width of the site. This
means the sloped roofs and small exterior balconies face away from 20N towards the new
single family homes in the Riverside Development while a more typical flat -roofed commercial
envelop with aluminum storefront and canopies faces 20N.
Small terraces allow us to step the buildings as they work down the sloped hill following the
grade of 20N. These serve the commercial / retail levels as well as providing a break in the
overall massing and allowing pedestrians to filter through the side at several points. These
landscaped spaces, combined with a landscaped parking area will provide a semi -porous
buffer between the noise and activity of 20N and the residential areas behind.
Our material palette is simple and uses common materials but in a modern way. The buildings
all have a brick base using a dark grey brick set in a stacked bond pattern. These sections of
wall are articulated as panels with with cement board panels above any section of storefront at
grade. Above we are proposing a synthetic wood product used in a vertical T&G siding w/ a 4"
exposure. The orientation is similar to a board & batten application but the scale is more
consistent with a residential siding. It also speaks to a modern application of a warm, familiar
material - without the maintenance issues of real wood. The balconies and screen wall
protecting the main stairs on each building will be a painted metal. Railings will use a stainless
steel cable design. And we have proposed a green screen wall attached to a section of our
building on each terrace elevation. The roof will be a standing seam metal roof.
The buildings maintain a small footprint of approximately 4,300 SF However, they work
together as a composition or small 'village' within their larger landscape along 20N. We feel
these form work on the scale of the automobile and with the speed of vehicular traffic along
this corridor while also providing a pedestrian -friendly scale and character for the residents and
customers who will utilize these buildings as a neighborhood center.

architecture = design
Since the preliminary review, we have modified the windows facing 20N per staff and board
comments. Additionally, we developed a canopy on the parking lot and terrace elevations
that could accept retail or commercial signage in the future and provides cover and light for
the commercial entries. This would only be minimally visible from 20N. For the most part, the
building design has not changed materially. The courtyard terraces have been further
developed and they are depicted in the civil / landscape / site drawings prepared by Shimp
Engineering and included in this submission.
