City Council! CD 04-30 November 15, 2004 Page 2 . Landscape Plan Overview The applicant is proposing to build a 2,940 square foot bank building with a future addition of 3,060 square feet adjacent to the structure. The bank will include drive thru as well as waJk - in service. Analysis Building Description and Design Standards The North Woods Theme ofEJk Ridge Center has been influenced by related architectural traditions including Craftsman, Arts & Crafts and the architecture in our State Parks. The elements common to these styles are shallow pitched roofs, deep broad eaves, multiple casement windows, stone or rough foundation walls, quality wood and masonry exterior finishes and wide trellised verandas to draw nature close. The building materials consist of stone, lap siding, stained cedar, metal standing seam roofing, asphalt shingles, EIFS and rock face concrete block. The entrance elevation is clearly defined and architectural features are carried out on all sides. The base of the structure expresses solidity with stone massing that is broken up with windows that are Arts & Craft in nature. The base and columns/pilasters express a permanent foundation with a flared downward design. The stone applications reflect the massing of the building and do not look like an applied veneer. The stone masonry wraps 48" around the comers. The details, massing and material selections assist in reducing the visual scale of a large building. For small scale office structures, roofs should be pitched and have gables typical of more residential scale. The proposed building has a shallow pitched roof with deep broad eaves, gable/ dormer massings with detailed wood features, which adds to the pedestrian expenence. Multiple windows that promote transparency along the pedestrian areas are utilized on all sides. With these widows, the use of the encouraged awnings could be utilized, again to achieve the desired pedestrian scale detail. This plan only represents half of what will possibly be constructed. The proposed building has an expansion possibility of about twice the length as currendy shown. When an addition is proposed, the City will be able to review the addition, as a Conditional Use Pennit, to ensure that it complies with the EJk Ridge Center Development Design Standards and blends with the existing building. The proposal shows three illuminated walls signs which meet the amount allowed by the EJk Ridge Center Development Design Standards. Two of the wall signs will be facing Highway S,\pLANNING\C"" Fil,,\2004\CU 04-30 U S Bonk\CU 04-30_CC.DOC
