Medtronic Review <br />October 5, 2005 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />The building will be constructed of precast concrete wall panels with horizontal and vertical <br />reveals. The base of the building will have a decorative or specialty stone base. The rooftop <br />utilities will be hidden from view by metal panel screens to match the color scheme of the <br />building. The facade will be dominated by a series of reflective one-inch thick vision glass <br />windows set in prefinished thermal break frames. The first floor of the building will have a 20- <br />foot sidewall height while all subsequent floors will be at a 15 foot height except the top floor <br />which will be 17 feet. The total building height, including the roof mounted mechanical <br />screens, will be 140 feet. <br /> <br />Traffic and Circulation <br /> <br />At the time of Phase 1 completion, Coral Sea Street will have been expanded to allow for five <br />full lanes of traffic movement at County Road J. Medtronic is proposing a small round-about <br />at the access to the parking ramp to help coordinate and channel traffic to the site. A second <br />larger round-about is planned at the primary entrance to the facility with a small, separate pull <br />out for child care pick-up and drop off. The buildings will be encircled by a twenty-foot wide <br />fire access road with a service spur to the back of the building for service and deliveries. In <br />this area as well there is another small round-about to help govern the flow of traffic. The <br />surface parking area will take access from 82nd Lane NE. The parking ramp will be accessed <br />from Coral Sea Street with the service road north and west of the ramp. There will be two <br />controlled intersections to serve the Medtronic project by the time of Phase 1 completion. <br />The County Road J and Coral Sea Street intersection will be signalized along with other <br />improvements to County Road J, to supplement the existing signalized intersection at County <br />J and West 35W Drive. Both intersections will permit through traffic movements to the north <br />after Coral Sea is reconstructed north of County Road J. <br /> <br />Building Elevation
