Home My WebLink AboutNarrative_Grocery Outlet_Project Revision V1L �(E IDIAN - APPROVED DATE: 09/20/22 FILE NUMBEtA-20U2 079 RR lanning Comments: ISAP, the building elevations should be revised to comply with the following design guidelines (or explain how they're meeting these guidelines if you believe they do): 1) A minimum building height of 30' is desired for at least 75% of the property frontage along Ten Mile & Cobalt; and at least 40% of the linear dimension of the street level frontages should be in windows or doorways (see pg. 3-33 for more info). The future configuration of the tenant floorplan (under separate permit) will show that along the 10 Mile fagade is the back of house storage room which would create many conflicts by incorporating glazing into the fagade. Clear glazing will provide no aesthetic quality to the building as you will be looking into a storage room. Storefront with window film or a spandrel unit would also not be possible because of the high probability of damage from pallets. Storage shelving will also be located along this wall and will require a solid wall backing for anchorage. We have articulated the wall facing 10 Mile with varying height roof, metal canopies and wood and metal trellis along with a stucco paneled design weighted with stone on the bottom. The current site plan shows that the side of the building facing Cobalt will be where the loading dock is located so glazing at the pedestrian level does not provide any benefit. The future configuration of the tenant floor plan will also show that the exterior wall along Cobalt will be the backside of the sales floor which is where all the refrigerated cases will be located. Hidden in this wall will be plumbing and electrical lines that will conflict with any glazing. We have added articulation along the south side of the building through faux clerestory windows via material color change which will be visible to the street above trucks in the loading dock. We are following the TMSAP by locating the building along the street rather than having a parking field along the street which would have allowed the entrance to face 10 Mile rather than the side. 2) Incorporate human/pedestrian-scale design elements on the south side of the building visible from Cobalt Dr. (see pg. 3-34). Loading Dock railing was replaced with linear stone to help block line of sight to the trucks and incorporate design elements at human scale. 3) Public art (3-47)/gateway feature should be provided (3-35) at the corner of Ten Mile/Cobalt This feature is already being designed and incorporated into the design and the comment will be met 4) Is any ground -level mechanical equipment proposed? If so, it should be screened from public view & depicted on the plans (roof -mounted mechanical equipment is also required to be screened & should not be visible from along any fronting streets) (3-41 & #4.30 ASM) All exterior mechanical equipment will be roof mounted and will be concealed from public view via screening. 5) A parapet surround should be provided across the entire primary facades as well as both side facades (see 3-41 for more info). • Per the ASM checklist, the building elevations should be revised to comply with the following design standards (or explain how they're meeting them if you believe they do) Dashed line shown for roof height to convey parapets covering the RTUs. All portions of RTU above the parapet line to be screened 6) The south elevation needs some work (comply with ASM #1.1 Q Goal #3.20 & #3.2A; #3.3D/3.3E; #4.1 A; #5.1 A; #5.3A; #6.10-6.1 C or explain how the proposed design complies with these standards). NORR, LLC 150 W. Jefferson Ave., Suite 1300 T 313 324 3100 Detroit, MI, US 48226 norr.conn (E IDIAN — APPROVED DATE: 09/20/22 FILE NUMBEF•A-zoz 079 RR r .1 C: "Incorporate architectural features on all sides of a building faqade facing: the primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building, public roadways, interior site amenities, and faqades that are visible from public spaces. See Architectural Elements, Building Form, and Materials sections." This is already being incorporated via comment 1 response. Additional articulation has been added to the South side of the building through faux clerestory windows via material color change. Building design includes material transitions along canopies and banding around entire facade 3.2A: "For at least 30% of applicable facades use any combination of concrete, masonry, stone, or unique variation of color, texture, or material, at least 10-inches in height, around the base of the building. May alternatively incorporate other architectural features such as ledges, faqade reveals, ground level fenestration, raised planters, or landscaping elements within 3-feet of finished grade." Raise band along base of building to 10" and run entire perimeter of building. 3.3D/E: "Fenestration Alternative: Incorporate doors and windows for at least 30% of applicable first floor facade, or suggest their inclusion using faux treatments that incorporate at least two of the following: material changes, reveals in conjunction with color or material change, qualifying modulation such as recessed areas, architectural trellis, awnings and canopies over access areas, detached structures such as pergola, or similar architectural features and details." See comment 1 Response 4.1 A: "Provide at least three detailing elements that transition faqade material changes or integrate pedestrian scale elements, such as doorways, windows, or material banding, at the base of the building. Examples include but are not limited to: cornice work around primary entries, decorative caps on brick or stone banding, architectural canopies over entries, or decorative lintels above the first floor windows." This requirement is already met via multiple building articulation strategies via color change in EIFS, wood paneling, metal banding along middle of building, canopies over entrances. 5.1 A: "For buildings with facades that face multiple public roadways and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations, material quality, and architectural detailing." This requirement is already met as the material choices are consistent along entire building 5.3A: "For commercial and traditional neighborhood districts, roll -up and drive -through doors are allowed when integrated into the building design, but will -call doors with roll -ups and loading docks are prohibited. Consider material variation and transitions, modulation, and other architectural features and standards for the design." 5.3 allows the use of a loading dock, as this is a grocery store a loading dock is an item that is required for the buildings use, but the roll up doors and features will be painted to minimize their visual impact along building. 6.1: "Use lighting on building exteriors to promote safe pedestrian environments along roadways, at intersections, and in public spaces." Exterior building lighting will be incorporated into final design of the building and will meet all necessary foot candle requirements 7) The elevations depict'W1" as a material that is defined on the material board as composite vertical siding, newtech wood, is that correct? It appears to be EFIS.... Per the submitted material board, 'W1' is composite vertical siding. Elevations have been updated to reflect the correct appearance. 8) Submit a detail of the trash enclosure with similar building materials/colors as the primary building Per the submitted site detail drawings AS003/AS004, the trash enclosures are painted to match the primary building Page 2 E IDI� Il APPROVED DA EI 09/20/22 C; %Uld B;R' A-2G22 —s RR Page 3
