unattractive parking areas. The street and building lighting fixtures, as well as the landscape design, would be chosen to integrate all buildings. Architectural Features Our preliminary architectural sketch will attempt to link the project to the traditional character and charm of traditional downtowns. The building materials will be varied with an emphasis on brick selected to visually integrate all buildings. The buildings will feature gabled roofs with dormers and second story office or residential areas. Awnings and outdoor umbrellas will be emphasized as well as courtyard fountains to enhance the park -like feel and to promote strolling from shop to shop. Project Timing and Scope We plan to develop preliminary timelines that will call for a first phase development to begin in the Spring of 1998. We see this first phase focusing on the north side of Little Canada Road and consist of approximately 32,000 square feet of building with a capital expenditure of between $2 million and $2.5 million. We would anticipate that additional phases of the project would conform to the Master Plan developed by the City and be completed in partnership with the City Council and administrators. Page 10
