THE FOUNDATION y ARCHITECTS High-quality fiber cement board trim in the color of "autumn tan" accents the windows and helps to emphasize the verticality of the building projections. It is also used to create a horizontal band to visually connect the top of certain building elements such as the corner columns and windows. This color is also used on the brackets above the corner stone columns. The dormers and building projections feature high quality fiber cement siding in the earth tone color of "khaki brown". This helps to add visually variety along the large facades and nicely complements the nearby townhome's use of siding and color schemes. Cultured Stone Veneer 2 {Bora) Stone: Country Ledgestone -- Aspen) was selected for its ability to harmonize well with the discontinued "Ohio Cobblefield" featured on the Fairview building and the earth tone color scheme of the Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry building. The cultured stone veneer 2 is used at the front entry tower, base of projections on all sides of the buildings and at the tapered corner columns. The use of this second accent stone is to mimic the main building design elements and their proportions (corners and towered entry) of the neighboring Fairview building. The stone's light appearance helps it to blend well with the stucco, stone base and fiber cement boards. Building Design: The design of Sprouts Pediatric Dentistry references the Commercial Development Standards for the Victor Gardens PUD as well as the City of Hugo's Commercial & Industrial Guidelines to achieve the goal of high quality architecture. The need for an efficient layout helped to shape the building in addition to the unique shape of the site and its previously designed connection to existing site infrastructure. The building is to be constructed in one phase and the design features internal space for expansion when needed in the future. (Referencing Commercial Development Standards for the Victor Gardens PUD listed in Resolution 2000-47) 1. A site plan has been included for approval. 2. The commercial building complies with the PUD development standards for the General Business zoning district and is setback 30'-0" from Frenchman Road. 3. The building will consist of high quality and durable materials on all four facades. The major exterior surfaces of the walls consist primarily of EIFSlstucco and manufactured stone. 4. Ground mounted equipment will be properly screened using a mix of landscaping. 5. The building will have varied and interesting detailing as well as creating movement through the use of building projections, dormers and change in materials — see elevations A201 and A202. 6. The square shaped building is positioned parallel to Frenchman Road. 7. The trash enclosure is designed as an integral part of the building and is internally located at the southwest corner of the building to avoid views from the major streets and parking. 8. All building elevations receive equal treatment through the consistent use of high quality materials and architectural elements of dormers and building projections — see elevations A201 and A202. 9. The building's entrance is obvious and clearly defined by a towered entry that projects outward from the building with a steeply pitched roof peak. A covered canopy further protects the doorway. Similar to the neighboring commercial building, this gabled entry tower will feature a stone fagade.
