THE JJ)V FOUNDATION ARCHITECTS Project Description: Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry has proudly been serving the community of Hugo and surrounding areas from its existing location north of Frenchman Road near Festival Foods. Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry has grown with the community and is excited to relocate and expand its services to better meet demand. Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry is requesting approval to construct a new 4,520 square foot building for the purpose of providing pediatric dentistry. The building will harmonize nicely with the surrounding residential neighborhood and commercial land use through high quality and complementary architecture. The addition of this building will strengthen the community through the completion of the long vacant site and the growth of a desirable business district. Site Description: The existing undeveloped site is located south of Frenchman Road, west of Victor Hugo Boulevard and northeast of Victor Path. The site is unique with its triangular shape and that both residential and commercial buildings neighbor adjacent to the property. The site was previously designed for a future shared connection through an existing commercial parking lot and entry driveway. A previous design featured a bank with a drive- thru on the site. Statement of Surroundings: The building is sensitive to the surrounding scale of structures, colors and materials; to appear inviting to visitors in and around the Victor Gardens development area. The overall look of this new building is to harmonize with the existing building's vernacular while maintaining an individual character to define its use in a playful architectural manner as a pediatric children's dental clinic. The entire project development scale will also create a sensitive transition from the traffic density of Frenchman Road on its north, to the rest of Victor Gardens to its south and serve as an amenity to the surrounding neighborhoods. Building Materials: Cultured stone veneer 1 (Boras Stone: Hewn Stone — Foundation) is used along the base of the building on all four sides; closely matching the proportion, texture and overall appearance of the rock face block used at the neighboring Fairview building. it was carefully selected to closely match the appearance of rock face block, but is more durable. The 8" x 22" pieces installed in a running bond pattern will help to achieve the desired matching look. Above the cultured stone veneer 1 base, is "prairie clay" stucco with a sand pebble finish. This earth tone color was selected to harmonize with the "cream or equal" stucco used at the Fairview building as well as the light earth tones of the surrounding town homes. Similar to the Fairview building, the stucco continues all the way up to the roofline. Page 2 of 4 212 Third Avenue North, Suite 460, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 f foundationarch.com 612.340.5430
