Town Center 3rd Addition - Site Plan/Pond Building <br />November 24, 2004 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br />Architec'tztrM Ston&~rd, r.' In accordance with stated goals of the Town Center design guidelines, <br />detailed elevations regarding architecture for the building have been provided. The architectural <br />features of the Pond Building are multi-sided and includ~ diversity.in texture, color, shapes, <br />projections, recesses, height, and transparency at street level. The selected materials are <br />consistent with the buildings approved in Phase 1 and include brick, EIFS, and Split-Faced CMU <br />integrally treated with color, and metal accents. It is noted that some of the metal accents are <br />referred to as con'ugated metal panels..Staff is requesting that a sample of the corrugated metal <br />panels be provided at the Planning Commission meeting for review. The TC-2 District requires <br />buildings to be 1-3 stories in height. The corner retail building is one-story. <br /> <br />The guidelines recommend 35% of the total ground level street front fagades be glass openings. <br />The building contains access doors [''acing the parking lot rather than a street. The glazing <br />calculation for the north or parking lot side of the building is 18%. The reduction in glazing <br />materials is logical; given that restaurants are not the typical Window shopping experience the <br />City is striving for with the retail buildings. The use of brick is encouraged; 37% of the total <br />non-glazed wall area is brick. The calculations provided indicate that 44% of the non-glazed <br />area is brick and/or a comparable material. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, 2004, at <br />Ramsey Fire Station, 15050 Armstrong Blvd., to review the proposed site plan. You or your <br />representative may want to be present to answer any questions that may arise. Thank you for <br />your cooperation in this process. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please call us at (763) 427-1410.. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />Sylvi'a Frolik <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br /> / <br /> <br />~Leonard L m~/o n <br />Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />Kevin *liller.
