Re: Hathaway Development Project / Design Review Exception Letter
Dear Planning Department,
This letter is in regard to the Hathaway Development project for a Design Review Exception
letter. The owner would like to have the front elevation be a mixture of metal siding, stone
veneer and board and batten hardboard siding. The front elevation has more than 30% of the
stone veneer and board and batten hardboard siding. We did design the front elevation to have
roofline variation, which will include step-downs with different eave heights. Also, the front of
the building will incorporate steel canopies which will help in the look of the building as well.
The sides of the building will also incorporate stone veneer siding as well as the metal siding.
The roof will also incorporate a roofline variation and will include a storefront window.
The rear of the building we are proposing to have that wall be all metal siding. We are hoping
since that face of the building, which is the North face sits lower down on the property and will
not be seen have all metal siding. This wall also is a 1-Hr rated fire wall.
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 23’-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.
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,
