Re: CZC-Design Review Narrative – Flex Building
Dear Planning Staff:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for our Flex Building. The proposed building will be located on Franklin Rd blending with the surrounding commercial uses.
The building is a two story approximately 32,410 sf shell and core building that contains future commercial and retail space.
The building is articulated with exterior wall material that include EIFS and metal panel. The EIFS will have horizontal and vertical reveals breaking up the exterior plane that algin
with architectural elements. In between the EIFS walls, we have added metal panels to break up the exterior façade. The tops of the parapets change in height with the different exterior
materials to break up the elevations. Attached exterior canopies have been added over the windows and entries. The exterior windows and doors along the north, east and west elevations
will be aluminum storefront windows and doors. The rear of the building will have hollow metal steel doors and frames along with roll-up doors. The roof will be a single slopped membrane
roof system that will have roof top units that will be screened from view by the parapets. Mechanical systems will be screened by the parapet walls.
The trash enclosure is a concrete masonry unit structure, and the enclosure is on the northwest side of the building.
Final plat is scheduled to be submitted shortly with final plat being recorded prior to C of O.
Thank you for the consideration and we look forward to your approval of our proposal. Please contact our office if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Jared Schmidt
