Re: Ballenger's Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Satellite Office
2857 S. Meridian, Rd.
Meridian, ID 83642
To Whom It May Concern:
2857 S. Meridian Rd. is an existing building within the Strada Bellissima Subdivision located off Meridan
Road. The building is partially occupied with 1,804 s.f. of vacant space that is to be built out in this
Tenant Improvement. The existing building has already been approved through the previous Design
Review processes, but we are requesting to remove an existing window and replace it with an exit door.
The materials and trim of the door will be cohesive in nature with the language of the existing building.
In addition, we are requesting to be able to install (2) required vents — one high and one low — on the
same fagade.
It is not our intent to change the appearance of the building, but to provide a safer, more efficient design
for the new tenant. We do not foresee that the proposed exterior modifications will detract from the
building.
Thank you for your consideration,
Pamela Gaines

Building design should establish visual connections that relate internal
spaces at ground- or street -level with facades adjacent to public
roadways, public spaces, and along primary building entries, and that
add visual interest and complexity to the first floor building design.
Use horizontal and/or vertical divisions in wall planes, such as
ledges, awnings, recesses, stringcourse, molding, joint lines,
or other material types, to frame and accent 30% or more of
total fenestration.
Average 30%fenestration far applicable first floor facade, unless
specified elsewhere. May also meet fenestration alternative
(see 33E). Big box and buildings in industrial districts may limit
applicable facade area to 30 -feet around public entries.
Fenestration Alternative: Incorporate doors and windowsfor at
least 30% of applicable first floor fasade, or suggest their inclu-
sion 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.

Building roof types, forms, and elements should provide variation
and interest to building profiles and contribute to the architectural
identity of the buildings, without creating an imposing scale on
adjacent uses. Applies to facades: in development along arterial
roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public
spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings.
Forflat roofs, incorporate primary and secondary roof elements i
Including but not limited to: multiple material types along para-
pets, multiple parapet elevations with at least 1 -foot change in
elevation, or modulation of at least2-feetin the parapet, such as EXISTING BUILDING
along entryway overhangs, Qualifying elements must exist for at
least 20% the length of applicable facades. May also incorporate
secondary roof types, such as hip roofs along overhangs.
