Architectural approvals included matching storefront brick, cast‑stone bases and dark metal accents; the board asked that the darker brick be used on both storefront entry bays so both tenant entrances read consistently. The board also approved the larger Stonewood Village building elevations earlier in the meeting.

On site and landscape matters the board required the applicant to add an east‑side man door and a clear walkway from that door to the rear service doors to avoid service traffic cutting across customer parking and the main drive lane. The vote on the outparcel site plan and the elevation detail passed unanimously among participating members after one member recused earlier in the session.

Separately, the board directed the applicant to work with staff to revise the landscape plan; board members said the west side had an overconcentration of large canopy trees in a small area and asked the applicant to shift some of the required tree density into the public streetscape or otherwise adjust species and spacing so sun‑sensitive understory plantings will thrive. The board’s landscape direction was recorded as a conditional approval: the applicant must work with staff to alter spacing and species to maintain the project’s overall tree count while improving plant health and distribution.

The board’s actions clear the way for final permitting on the outparcel once the applicant submits the minor changes for staff review.","The board approved the Stonewood Village outparcel building elevations and site plan and required a man‑door in the dumpster enclosure and refinements to the landscape tree layout on the west side.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6110128,"Board approves Providence Partners’ 204 Marietta design; defers landscaping for later staff review",4410,5310000,9720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2758894-7d56171c809da3fccf7f90ac989263d7&start=5310&end=9720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2758894-7d56171c809da3fccf7f90ac989263d7/thumbnail_5310000.jpg","/articles/6110128/Alpharetta/Fulton-County/Georgia/Board-approves-Providence-Partners-204-Marietta-design-defers-landscaping-for-later-staff-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6110128-82fd364c9a0638a62269521a2b3a6a13/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447893&Signature=jQuKhbAsIOgTq-UkSHLm~JRP136lmt98bXf6y~6Nsh9HyUWC-ni~OywwTKAclwevaqdHxC26Z9owrd2DuhSN-g-Td7K2SsAASluZo~5S7BRFUesGYsNRjIc6-xfs5cX~0N06C-kcQ822H9c-MDLZkbR9Wmy8AYvjsslHLWqY7peffMpABVNVQqRgVcvu0-revsoAbc1FkcJaGxjhsIpKTeqAw7Jkdw3rxhRonyGTHGxqmWqu910BvbwpFTbf2XZ9JGOCS9rtR3hrO9dTicABJ0ILYoG~Jogk5soWZ6miFmh772OZBCjg7lO7qIYbsU2UFAtaeo5j6xDlqYi2uQXBnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alpharetta Design Review Board approved elevations, materials and the site plan for Providence Partners’ proposed office building at 204 Marietta Street on March 25, but asked the applicant to refine the parapet area that carries the street address.

Architect Tracy Ward presented brick, cast‑stone and roofing samples and described the overall pallet: a warm buff cast stone base, red‑family brick with gray/burgundy tones, iron‑ore metal accents and an off‑white trim color. The board praised the building’s proportions and requested that the parapet where the address numerals would be placed receive additional architectural attention (millwork or refined cornice) or be finalized in conjunction with tenant signage. The board approved the elevations and materials with that condition.

Separately, the board directed that photometrics (lighting plans and cut sheets) be submitted to staff for final review to ensure compliance with lighting standards and to prevent spillover into adjacent properties. The board deferred the project’s landscape plan so the applicant may address comments submitted at the meeting and any council conditions; a redline or revised landscape submission to staff was requested.

Motions: A board member moved to approve elevations and materials with the parapet refinement condition; another motion delegated photometric approval to staff; the board also voted to defer landscape review so the team could refine plant selections and address species and placement comments. All motions passed unanimously, 5–0.

Next steps: the applicant will submit a revised parapet/signage proposal or work with staff to finalize the address treatment, provide a photometric plan to staff for administrative approval, and return a revised landscape plan addressing the board’s comments.","The DRB approved the Providence Partners office building’s elevations and materials but asked for more attention to the parapet-address element.

Applicant representatives walked the board through detailed roofing samples, including composite products intended to mimic cedar shake and slate. Manufacturer representative John Barton described the DaVinci synthetic roof line proposed for two lots and a composite slate option for another; he said the products are impact resistant and carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

The board’s motion approved the building materials with three conditions: final placement of AC units must be screened from the street or otherwise concealed; the applicant must provide a physical sample of the brick color labeled “natural” for staff review; and the project team must clarify a labeling discrepancy in the proposed paint colors (the package showed multiple swatches labeled “passive,” the board asked the team to confirm which swatch would be used where). The motion passed 4–0; one board member had recused earlier in the Hudson Park portion of the agenda.

Developers emphasized they had coordinated stone choices with the neighborhood entrance columns and will use a consistent Indiana limestone veneer where shown. Board members and applicants also discussed preserving the historic Weatherford house on the site, retaining walls needed to preserve grade around that structure, and how those walls will be detailed in future submissions.

Next steps: applicant will provide the requested brick sample to staff, resolve the paint swatch labeling, and supply final AC screening details for administrative approval before permit submission.","The board approved elevations and materials for three Canton Street homes in the Hudson Park development, asked for a sample of a ‘natural’ brick and required rooftop screening and AC screening details to staff.",{"_33":110,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":111,"_41":112,"_43":113,"_45":114,"_47":115,"_49":116,"_51":117,"_53":118,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":119,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":120,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6110132,"Design Review Board requires tweaks to North Main rowhomes; approves materials with conditions",1399,5995000,7394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2758894-7d56171c809da3fccf7f90ac989263d7&start=5995&end=7394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2758894-7d56171c809da3fccf7f90ac989263d7/thumbnail_5995000.jpg","/articles/6110132/Alpharetta/Fulton-County/Georgia/Design-Review-Board-requires-tweaks-to-North-Main-rowhomes-approves-materials-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6110132-7dc269a687751aec67ee956b0ae9aa1c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447893&Signature=XZ8KPRPFkHPc45c0iZr8LHpeKHGHCe6qvAX9Q795J1Ying6YTVYC0K9sLj3R4iMs64lmBL5jDRRpFGP4-EXtdQjHfnIACh5o6j8fy1ZYM~epT54egXI-yxFSM84TWMCcmQYTsbfzCbQ4~OyDiG-65sXPsdKQe7EaY97YPL0reTqUstqFiBnNizwi4FC1RmafYCIfBk8y9Gdw4FgVwULepB554xyuTHsc0g8VcmYfHEhdiA~KAKWm45HDNT7QZ~IvEo9aonSA7RHi9T1MjWz0ABOl8mL3OGbeZmyhuDwodHkUGhuajekA56ntF1-oB2luJlbOlqNd1AyEczbD-IiJdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alpharetta Design Review Board voted 4–1 on March 25 to approve exterior elevations and a materials palette for the 244 North Main Street project, a grouped rowhome development of 11 units visible from North Main. The board asked the applicant to add more visual interest to the northern side elevations of several end units and delegated final material placement to staff where indicated.

The approved package assigns specific brick selections to the five visible Main Street facades, and the developer presented a coordinated palette of bricks, standing-seam roofs, painted trim, and prefinished gutters. Board members pressed for changes to several side elevations that face the street and the entry drive, saying those façades need more articulation to avoid long, flat surfaces.

The motion to approve, offered at the public hearing by a member identified in the record as Mr. Swing and seconded by Mr. Kramer, spelled out brick assignments for Units 1–11 and required the applicant to work with staff to refine the northern elevations on Lots 1, 4 and 11 for greater visual interest. The board recorded four votes in favor and one opposed.

Applicant representatives said the plan intends to use a consistent stone at the base across the site and a limited number of brick types (four options) to create variety without excessive customization. They also clarified that two of the townhouses will be siding and that most other homes are intended to be four-sided brick depending on buyer selections. The developer said some homes will be presold and others customized within the approved palette.

The board’s conditional approval allows the project to move into permit-level design while requiring the applicant to adjust the specified side elevations and produce final color and material callouts for staff review.

Next steps: applicant will submit the revised side-elevation treatments to city staff for final sign-off; construction plans may follow once staff confirms consistency with the board’s conditions.","The board approved elevations and exterior materials for the 244 North Main Street townhome and rowhome project but asked the applicant to add visual interest to certain side elevations.

The board voted unanimously, 5-0, to approve the elevations and material palettes presented at the hearing.

The decision covers the specific material choices shown for Lots 1 and 7 and establishes that Lots 2–6 and 8–11 will be “substantially similar” to Lots 1 and 7, with final selections for subsequent houses subject to staff approval. Townhome elevations and materials were approved as presented.

Board members and project representatives discussed exterior details including consistent stone at first-floor bases, matching window and railing finishes across the neighborhood, and chimney treatments. Applicants said the same stone would be used on chimneys and at the first floor across the site and that the townhomes would use a reduced palette of siding and brick choices to control variability.

The board’s motion—moved and read into the record by a member identified as Mr. Swing and seconded by Mr. Owens—directed staff to handle final approvals for later homes’ façade choices where the developer will submit a “design package” for administrative sign-off. Following the vote the board recorded the outcome as “approved” by a 5-0 margin.

The approval allows the developer to proceed with the approved façade materials in construction drawings; staff will review follow-on facade submittals for consistency with the package the board adopted.

Details to watch: approved items include the stone base treatment for the first floor and chimneys, two primary brick options, and a common window/trim color. The townhome block will retain two siding units among a largely brick palette, and the developer said most single-family lots will be four-sided brick where buyers allow it.

A staff-level review will follow for final color and material selections on the homes that are not yet presold.","The Alpharetta Design Review Board approved exterior materials and a townhouse package for the Kingsley subdivision at 296 and 304 Thompson Street, with staff given final sign-off on remaining homes’ materials and color coordination.","actionData","errors"]
