Building Design (The text that is italicized comes from the Development Design Standards) The North Woods Theme of Elk Ridge Center has been influenced lry related architectural traditions including Crqftsman, Arts & Crqfts 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 overall building design is a rectilinear structure with an approximately 7 -foot high masonry base and the remainder of the wall in an Exterior Insulated Finish System (EIFS). All four sides of the building are similar in design with masonry, EIFS and a dark blue standing seam awning. The roofmg on the entrance structure will be the same dark blue metal standing seam (which is appropriate for a commercial building) while the roof element on top of the flat roof area will be a gray/charcoal asphalt shingle. These colors and materials are consistent with the design guidelines. Material styles and colors shall be those as indicated on the Exterior Sample Key dated 12/15/05. To break up the continuous horizontal line of the canopy, gable elements with timber details are introduce on each side of the building. This will be consistent with the other approved building in this development. The bases of the columns are flared downward. Foundations - usuallY of masonry;flared downward, makes the base of the structure strong to express solidity. S:\pLANNING\Case Files\2005\CU 05-25 New Horizon Day Care\CU 05-25_CC.doc
