City Council / CU 05-15 September 19, 2005 Page 2 . Elevations (AE201) . Rendering of Building Overview The 23,630 sqft proposed retail building will have a fenced-in outdoor storage area on the east side of the building. Parking will surround most of the north and west sides of the building. The main access to the site will be shared with Maxsun Furniture from 179th A venue with a secondary access for deliveries from Industrial Circle. The surrounding uses consist of Business Park to the south and the Elk River Crossing PUD with retail businesses to the north. The furniture store will occupy the lot direcrly to the east, which will share access to the sites. Analysis The 23,630 sqft building will be 22'-8" tall in the front and taper down towards the back. Integrally colored split-face concrete masonry units (CMU) scored to 8" x 8" units will comprise the 10-foot wainscot. The area above the wainscoting will be integrally colored split-face CMU. Red brick pilasters, 18" deep, are provided around all four facades with brick columns at the entrance. A single 8" high red glazed tile band is proposed around the entire building, separating the two different CMU materials. There will be forest green accents on the coping, the standing seam metal roof of the entrance and the aluminum storefront entrance. Located direcrly to the east of the building is a proposed wrought iron fenced-in side lot. This will be used to store merchandise and seasonal equipment for sale. . Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that seasonal displays not be allowed outside of the fenced in area with the exception of the area between the parking and the north side of the building/ fenced-in area. The design of the trash enclosure was not indicated but will need to comply with the design guidelines which state, ''shall be an enclosure constructed if the same materials and colors as those used in the building. " Signage was not indicated on the elevation drawings, but did show on the rendering. The applicant is requesting two walls signs in lieu of an allowed monument sign. This condition has been allowed on other buildings in this development and staff supports this request. Parking and Circulation The primary access to the site is on the north side of the site and will be at a shared entrance, opposite the Home Depot entrance. A secondary shared access will be on the south side of the site off of Industrial Circle. The parking lot indicates 105 parking stalls, which does meet the ordinance requirements.
