Re: Ten Mile Crossing
Dear Planning Department,
This letter is in regards a new project called Ten Mile Crossing. This will be a shell & core building
for future tenants that will be used as office space, or business use.
The building itself will be constructed out of either steel stud framing or wood stud framing with
wood trusses for the roof. The exterior finishes on the building will have a good mixture of materials
including Brick Wainscot, exterior stucco finish, fluted high grade metal siding. The colors will be
charcoal gray for the exterior trim, Cavern (Tan) & Gray White for the exterior stucco, almond color
for the high grade metal siding, and Chesapeake Blend (dark gray) for the brick wainscot. Also the
window frames will be clear anodize finish, with light gray glazing. The roof will consist of a TPO
membrane roof system, which will not be seen due to the parapets on the building. There will be a
steel awning over the storefronts as well. These awnings will help break up the elevations and will
help in the look of the building as well.
The site plan, will have a good mixture of landscaping, paving and building for the overall coverage
of the site. This site will have the required parking out front, along with two accessible parking
stalls. The proposed 21'-0" high facility is well under the allowed maximum height and the facility
is situated such that it complies with the setback requirements for the C-G Zone.
We have shown landscaping to enhance the building design which will be consistent with good
practices and will have a variety of plant materials. The landscape plan will have similar soft and
hard surfaces as the existing surrounding buildings.
The site lighting will be done with lights from the building. All wall mounted exterior light
fixtures which will transmit the light downward towards the parking only.
The mechanical units will be placed on the roof and be screened from the wall parapets. No units
will be seen from the ground.
We hope this project will be acceptable to the planning department. We feel that this new building
will add to the quality of architecture and distinctiveness of the area, also fit the needs of the owners.
Please call if you have any questions or comments,
Sincerely,
