RE: RC Willey
Exterior Fa~ade Upgrades
Letter of Alternative Compliance
CSHQA Project No. 06128
To Whom It May Concern:
The RC Willey Home Furnishing Store was built in 1999. The original character of the structure fit very
well with the other warehouse/retail facilities in the local vicinity. At the time of approval the City's
design standards were less restrictive and the supporting roadway system, Eagle and Franklin, carried far
fewer vehicles than the currently expanded four lane north/south state highway, Eagle Road, and
easbwest major arterial Franklin Road. As the City of Meridian has experienced accelerated growth, it
was determined a great opportunity existed to improve and enhance their quality of life. The newly
adopted Unified Development Code recognizes important traffic corridors into the city and sets standards
of design for building and site construction, obviously intended to improve Meridian's environment.
The RC Willey building was designed as a bulky item retail store requiring an attached warehouse facility
to house their product inventory. The retail aspect of the store required ornately decorated home living
room, bedroom, dining room and other similar displays featuring floor coverings, lighting and artwork.
To maximize the use of the available space, the decision was made to turn inward with the sales and
display efforts for their products. Additionally, the building's distance from the two major access roads
rendered large display windows a firtile attempt at enticing the customer into the store.
The building's existing structural elements and site conditions make it very challenging and expensive to
fully comply with all the requirements as outlined in the Unified Development Code. The exterior walls
were not originally designed to incorporate large window openings. To install additional openings of any
size will require extensive reinforcement with heavy gauge structural steel and new concrete footings.
Several of the exterior walls use projecting concrete block pilasters to sustain vertical loads. These
elements cannot be modified. The same elements were used on several of the warehouse walls. Because
the site slopes down to the store from both Eagle and Franklin Roads, there is a nearly complete and
unobstructed view onto the rooftop. Efforts made to increase the elevation of the walls to eliminate the
view to the roof would result in excessive and structurally burdensome wall heights.
To update the buildings appearance and scale, all vestiges of the current "Blue and White" image will be
replaced with colors and materials of a more neutral, earth-toned palette. A new exterior wall will be
erected over the entire entry fa~ade and the sales area portion of the elevation facing Eagle Road using
meta] studs and exterior insulation system. Further upgrades include new free-standing columns and
raised landscape planters built to mimic the Craftsman style, with a steel trellis overhead to provide visual
interest. The masonry pilasters along the Eagle Road elevation will be visually emphasized with exterior
insulation and manufactured stone.

The fa~ade facing Franklin Road will receive new paint of a coordinating color. Newly articulated
cornices will be added to the top of all visible exterior walls. The cornices around the sales portion of the
building will be outfitted with lighting hidden within the cornice to provide a soft wall-washing effect
down the face of the building. The existing building entry will be highlighted with copper colored metal
roofing, and will be flanked by trellises with Craftsman-style columns clad with manufactured stone. The
metal canopy at the Will Call loading dock will also receive copper-colored metal roofing.
Overall you will find the improvements to the exterior have been handled very tastefully and fulfill a
major portion of the intent of the Unified Development Code wherever possible.
~~ Two exceptions to the Unified Development Code are requested herein for Alternative Compliance. The
current parking layout was completed prior to the adoption of the UDC, and a landscape planter is
,p'~/ provided every (13) parking spaces instead of every (12) spaces. This exception was approved without
NQ I 4 comment on an earlier submittal; it is anticipated that this application will meet with the same flexibility.
~ The second alternative to the code concerns the requirement of providing bicycle parking stalls. Franklin
I~~~
-~i S~ Rd. and Eagle Rd. are both arterial vehicular traffic corridors and are not particularly bicycle-friendly. In
~(~ ~addition, most of the merchandise sold at RC Willey is too bulky and/or heavy to carry on a bicycle.
1~,~~ These factors render bicycle parking at this location somewhat extraneous, and it is requested that this
requirement not be enforced.
We hope that this application meets with your approval. Please contact me at your convenience should
you have any questions or require further clarification.
Respectfully,
CSHQA
