RE: ADLER SITE 50 – BUILDING 2
Dear Planner,
On behalf of Adler Industrial LLC we are pleased to submit the attached application and supporting
materials for a new warehouse building for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review. This
project will consist of a new single story building located at 1220 W. Franklin Rd. in Meridian.
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 32,710 SF single story building. The site is located at the
intersection of W. Franklin Rd and NW 13th Place. Site access is proposed from an existing curb cut on
Franklin Rd and the West side of the property from NW 13th Place.
Vehicular traffic will enter the site from the Southeast corner on the site from Franklin for the front of the
building, or at the rear of the building from the Northwest corner from 13th Place. An access drive that
surrounds the building provide access to the entire site. Parking stalls are accessible off of this drive on
three sides of the building which are directly adjacent to a sidewalk for pedestrian access. The sidewalk is
set off the building by a landscape buffer to soften the appearance of the structure. Truck docks are
located on the North side of the building. We request a Design Standards Exception to ASM 3.1A for
articulation on this side of the building to accommodate the functional use and layout of the docks. Two
trash enclosures are proposed, located on the North side of the building near the truck docks. This allows
the trash collection vehicles to utilize the drive area used by truck traffic for easy access.
Building elevations take advantage of variations in height and wall plane to provide visual interest. Every
effort has been made to articulate the building every 50’, but due to the overall length of the building and
structure spacing we are requesting a Design Standards Exception to ASM 3.1B to have a section at the
interior of the building that is 100’ long with no articulation. This provides balance to the South Elevation
and provides visual interest to interior units of the building which are typically more difficult to lease than
corner units. At the East and West Elevations we have modulation at the fenestration areas but then flatten
the wall plane to maximize potential interior racking layout and industrial uses. The North elevation has
no modulation to accommodate the truck dock facilities.
Materials include a concrete tilt-up wall with a Tex-cote finish over a light-textured base. An accent color
is located above the aluminum storefront windows. Reveal lines in the concrete wall are located in such a
way as to reduce the scale of the building and vary in height along the length of the building for additional
interest. Glass storefront patterns vary in height across the building to provide visual interest. In addition,
each storefront has a canopy above that protrudes from the building 36”. The height of the canopy varies
with the height of the storefront windows. The two architectural features required by ASM 2.3A are met
by the fenestration pattern variation and the canopies. Variations in height of the storefront also serve to
accentuate future tenant entry points. HVAC units are proposed to be located on the roof, screened by a 7’
tall parapet wall. Parapet wall elevations vary 24” and correspond to changes in wall plane. Parapets are
capped with a continuous metal coping cap over the light textured Tex-cote wall.
This application has been prepared in coordination with the Meridian Design Manual. We expect that you
will find it complete and generally as discussed. Should you have any questions don't hesitate to contact
us.
Sincerely,
R. Damon Beard

Re: Adler Industrial Site 50 – Bldg #2 – Alternative Compliance Landscape
To whom it may concern:
This purpose of this letter is to address our request for alternative compliance in regard to the required
landscape treatment on the north property line for the referenced project located at the southeast
corner of W. Franklin Road and NW. 13th Place in Meridian. As indicated on the site and landscape
plans, the 8 Mile lateral enters the subject property at the northeast corner and flows west across the
property to NW 13th Place. The lateral is proposed to remain open.
City of Meridian Code 11-3B-8.C.1.b requires the perimeter landscape buffer to be planted with one
tree per thirty-five linear feet. Due to the irrigation lateral and associated easement on the north
property line, trees cannot be planted within the irrigation easement per irrigation district policy. We ask
for alternative compliance on this standard as follows:
a. North property line – in lieu of the required 13 trees (441.75’), Sheet L1.0 indicates native
grass seeding between the top of bank and the truck loading facilities for safety purposes.
b. Due to the irrigation easements, we propose increasing the tree plantings in the landscape
buffer fronting Franklin Road. Twelve (13) trees are required. Sheet L1.0 proposes a total
of 24 trees. There are also 2 extra trees in the terminal islands of the parking lot on the
southeast and southwest corners of the building. These additional trees serve to satisfy the
requirement for 26 of the 26 trees on the north and south property lines.
Thank you for consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
