Re: CZC Narrative Letter
Minert office includes the final office in the development of the Minert Subdivision on Schiller Lane in Meridian.
The office will be very similar in design to the office already constructed on the same lot. The look will be similar
with a few revisions to the windows and color palette so the building will be cohesive to the development and
yet have its own identity in the mix.
The new office building will be a two story building, 3867 sf feet, constructed of wood with stucco and board
and batten siding. Construction will be V-B. The site work, including parking lot are existing. The site is pad site
ready. Approved civil drawings for the project will be included in the submittal. The building meets the zoning
requirements, parking requirements. Landscaping is predominately existing, although some plantings will be
added to surround the building.
Thank you for your consideration,
Marla Carson

Re: Design Review Narrative Letter
Cohesive Design: The building has vertical connections to the ground through use of a 3’-0” wainscotting.
There are horizontal and vertical divisions in the walls planes throughout the facade on all sides. Fenestration is
30% of the first floor facade. Roof elements include a hip roof at the second floor and shed roofs at the first
floor entry and rear exit.
Building Scale: The facade has a variety of elements that break up the building. There are pilasters,
wainscotting, doors, windows, and material changes that provide a variation throughout the planes of the
exterior wall. The pilasters provide vertical banding. The trim at the first and second floors provide horizontal
banding. There are canopies at the front and rear points of entry that denote entry and provide further breaks
in the plane of the elevation.
Building Form: The base middle and top of the facade are treated with different materials to create a wall with
a variation of materials and colors. Pilasters are used to further break up the facade with a vertical element.
Architectural Elements: The AC condensing unit is screened by landscaping and located away from the
primary entrance to the building.
Materials: Quality materials are used to construct the office to provide a texture and style that is attractive in
appearance. Stucco walls and trims, batten & board siding and 30 year architectural shingle are provided. A
palette of neutral toned greys and whites are used to provide a variation in the horizontal and vertical material
changes.
Signs and Lighting: Site lighting is existing. Building lighting is to match existing buildings in the development. A
low impact wall sconce will be provided at entries around the building. Additional wall lights are provided to
provide a subtle even wash of light around the building for safety and to add to the look of the building during
evening hours.
Parking lots are existing. Pedestrian walkways connect the entries to the existing sidewalk adjacent to parking
and connect to the existing street sidewalks.
Thank you for your consideration,
