~ / <br />r,~ r";. <br />~~.~`~- f <br />`~// <br />9) It is unclear if the existing approach for the drive through lanes will be <br />retained. <br />OUR DESIGN INTENT WAS TO KEEP THE EXISTING CURB CUT OF <br />THE DRIVE THROUGH LANES ON MAIN STREET FOR PEDESTRIAN <br />APPROACH TO THE CHURCH'S MAIN ENTRY, AND TO REMOVE THE <br />EXISTING CURB CUT AND DRIVE THRU APPROACH LANES FROM <br />KING AVENUE . <br />Fire Chief <br />10) Any comments generated following review by the Fire and Police <br />departments will be forwarded under separate cover. <br />NO RESPONSE REQUIRED. <br />Downtown District Design <br />11) This project is located within the downtown district, and one of the goals of <br />that district is stated: to the maximum extent possible, bring exterior facades <br />back to the appearance they had when they were originally constructed, or <br />comply to the extent possible. I note that the building as proposed is consistent <br />with the height and building finishes. The proposed construction is inconsistent in <br />that it doesn't support the `historic' character previously established. I mention <br />this as some time should be spent to prepare a response to this, in the event this <br />is a concern of the Council's. <br />THERE IS NO HISTORICAL RECORD OF HOW THE SITE WAS <br />DEVELOPED PRIOR TO THE EXISTING BUILDING CONSTRUCTED IN <br />THE 1950'S. THE PROPOSED BUIDING ADDITION INCORPORATES <br />THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, COMPLIMENTS <br />THE MATERIALS AND VOCABULARY OF THE NEIGHBORING <br />BUILDINGS ON MAIN STREET, AND PROVIDES ACCESSIBLE GREEN <br />SPACE THAT SOFTENS THE ARCHITECTURAL LINE ALONG THE <br />SOUTH OF MAIN STREET. THIS DESIGN APPROACH ALSO ALLOWS <br />FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE THREE EXISTING MAPLE TREES <br />ALONG THE STREET WHICH ANCHORS THE CORNER OF KING <br />AVENUE AND MAIN STREET. <br />12) Any mechanical units mounted to the roof, or otherwise visible from a public <br />place will need to be screened. <br />ALL MECHANICAL UNITS WILL BE SCREENED. <br />VANf~Atd ARCHITECTS APID BUILDERS IIVC. <br />669 Winnetka Avenue North • Suite 210 • Minneapolis, Minnesota 55427 <br />888.327.2817 • 763.541.9552 • fax 763.541.9857 <br />www.vanmanab.com <br />
