Case File: CU 06-27 Page 7 (The italicized text is from the Approved Development Design Standards) Site Plan The proposed 16,224 sqft building is being proposed as the fIrst structure in a larger multi-tenant structure. The approved development plan did include a 47,562 sqft multi-tenant structure in the location of this proposal. With the current proposal, this will leave 31,338 square feet of space available for future tenants. (The approved 5,720 square foot Pearl Vision building was on an approved PUD site allowing for a 4,500 square foot building. As part of that approval April 17, 2006, 1,220 square feet would be removed from the remaining unbuilt buildings. 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.) Building Design The North Woods Theme of Elk Ridge Center has been itifluenced ry related architectural traditions including Crciftsma.n, 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 exten"or finishes and wide trellised verandas to draw nature close. (page 3) All four sides of the building are similar in design with Concrete Masonry Units (CMU), brick, Exterior Insulated Finish System (EIFS) and wood. A.I.3 Development that is visible from or arfjacent to roads, open space and residential areas shall have well designed facades on all sides. This is considered a "360 degree" design treatment. B.2.7 Fenestration, prqjecting bqys and all other architectural features shall be coordinated on all sides of the building. Integrating architectural elements around the building will enhance it as a whole and should augment the architectural character of the building. The same architectural features are carried out on all four sides of the design with an emphasis on the entrance. Building entry areas should be enhanced with such features as canopies, timber per;golas and natural or cultured stone wainscot. The Planning Commission suggested additional wood at the entrance and the extension of the trellis along the walk. Both of these were completed. The overall building design is an "L" shape structure with various gable roof elements. The wall treatments consist of an approximately 10-foot high masonry base and the remainder of the wall in an EIFS treatment. Make the base of the stmcture strong to express solidiry and mass. B.I.5 Each building shall have a well- designed base, middle and top. Architectural detailing or a change of maten"als or color at the ground level mqy be used to create the base. The different parts of abuilding's fafade shall be emphasized fry use of color, arrangement of fafade elements, or a change of maten"als. The use of color and change in materials is utilized with the material and color choices, which are dark textured at the base and lighter at the top. These techniques express the solidity and make the base prominent. The Planning Commission suggested the columns be flared out more, which has been done. B.7.3 Buildings at corners can have special roof shapes in order to emphasize their corner location. This references entire building at comers, yet this proposal takes this concept into account by having all of the comers, including the entrance comer, proposed with gable roof structures and exposed timbers S:\pLANNING\Case Files\2006\CUP\CU 06-27 Aldi's\CU 06-27_CC.doc
