. . . Planning Commission / SP 05-10 October 25, 2005 Page 2 Site Plan Review The applicant is proposing an 18,600 square foot multi-tenant building (Block 2 Lot 2) in the southwest corner of the development. This building will consist of 14,600 square feet of retail and a 4,000 square foot restaurant. It is consistent with the original approve PUD site plan. The front of the building (east side) will face Highway 169 and the rear (west side) will face Irving Street. At the departmental site plan review meeting, staff indicated that a fire lane, to within 150- feet of any portion of the building, needs to be provided around the building. The parking for this building will be direcrly in front of the building. The ordinance requires 113 parking stalls, 114 parking stalls are provided for this building. Building Design (The text that is italicized comes from the Development Design Standards) The North Woods Theme of Elk Ridge Center has been influenced!?J related architectural traditions including Crciftsman, Arts & Crcifts and the architecture in our State Parks. The elements common to these sryles are shallow Pitched roofs, deep broad eaves, multiple casement windows, stone or rough foundation walls, qualiry wood and masonry exterior finishes and wide trellised verandas to draw nature close. The overall building design is a rectilinear structure with an approximately 7-foot high masonry base and the remainder of the wall in a metal panel. The east fa<;:ade includes storefront windows. The roofing will be either metal standing seam or a heavy-textured asphalt shingle. The north, east and south elevations have gable elements with bracketing and columns that created the desired N orth Woods Theme. The standards state the design of the base of the structure shall be strong to express solidity. The base should be prominent with foundations possiblY flared downward. Foundations - usuallY of masonry;flared downward, makes the base of the structure strong to express solidiry. Staff would recommend the base be designed similar to proposed columns. The west (rear) elevation introduces Exterior Insulated Finish System (EIFS) in multiple colors with applied metal panels above the doors projecting out six inches from the proposed EIFS wall. Exterior material treatment.. . must avoid a "veneer" look. The rear elevation does not have the theme that is required from the design standards. More design consistency, with the three other facades, needs to be executed. Development that is visible from or at/lacent to roads, open space and residential areas shall have well designed facades on all sides. This is considered a "360 degree" design treatment. Fenestration, projecting bqys and all other architecturalfeatures shall be coordinated on all sides ~f the building. Since the rear fa<;:ade faces an established residential neighborhood it should be designed with the same level of detail (if not more) than the other facades.
