Roy Molitor 4th Addition — Pre Plat, CUP Amendment, Easement Vacation, and Site Plan Page 6 Building Architecture In August 2011, the City Council adopted the Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. The guidelines allow flexibility on four-sided architecture for industrial buildings. The design of the building meets the intent of the guidelines. The building material for the office/warehouse building consists of integrally colored precast tip - up concrete panels, of two compliment colors and two patterning styles. The intent is to ensure the building is constructed of quality materials that require minimum maintenance. The applicant has provided elevations that show coloration and patterning in design of the concrete panels. The concrete is proposed to be a light brown earth tone, with an accent dark brown tone. The front has glass and there windows on all sides of the building. The applicant is proposing metal awnings along the front of the building over the entrances. The applicant will be required to submit the design to staff for review and approve the design of the awnings. The exterior doors and overhead doors are proposed to be brown and compliment the exterior color (although they are shown as white on the plans). Staff will work with the color and size of the overhead doors. The applicant has provided material samples and staff will continue to work with the applicant on the materials and color choices to ensure compatibility. Staff recommends the main entrance of the site to be more clearly defined with architectural elements and/or more glass/windows. The applicant has not provided elevations for the proposed warehouse building or two office buildings. As a campus development building architecture, materials, and colors for all buildings should be compatible. This will be a condition of approval for the campus development CUP. Signage The applicant is not proposing any signage at this time but, it is allowed by ordinance. Prior to the installation of any signs, the applicant shall obtain a sign permit. Drainage/Grading The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing ponds and infiltration basins and to meet the stormwater management requirements. Treated stormwater is discharged into the wetland complex to the west as well as the storm sewer system along the east side of Fenway Avenue. The stromwater management is designed to accommodate all phase of the development. The plan generally meets the stormwater requirements, however, staff will continue to work on the technical details of the stormwater management design. A maintenance agreement between all lots utilizing the stormwater management facilities shall be reviewed and approved by staff. The document shall be recorded against the property. At this time, the applicant is not proposing stormwater reuse. There is not enough green space on the property to gain infiltration credits to meet the stormwater management requirements or enough water within the pond to accommodate stormwater reuse.
