Staff Exhibit A Analysis The applicant is proposing a 5,720 square foot Pearl Vision building. The original approved PUD site plan allowed for a 4,500 square foot building on this site. Staff did contact the developer to indicate that the extra 1,220 square feet added to this building would need to be removed for one or more of the remaining buildings. The site has received final plat approval, but has not been recorded. The final plat will need to be recorded before any permits will be issued or site work can begin. The parking for this building will be located on the north and east sides of the proposed building and is consistent with the approved PUD site plan. Building Design (The text that is italicized comes from the Development Design Standards) The North Woods Theme if Elk Ridge Center has been influenced fry related architectural traditions including Crtiftsman, Arts & Crtifts and the architecture in our State Parks. The elements common to these sryles are shallow Pitched rorfs, 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 building materials consist of stone, lap siding, stained cedar, metal standing seam roofmg, 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 mas sings with detailed wood features, which adds to the pedestrian experience. Multiple windows that promote transparency along the pedestrian areas are utilized on all sides. S:\pLANNING\Case Files\2006\CUP\CU 06-07 Pearl Vision\CU 06-07_CC.doc
