RE: Lost Rapids Lot 8 Retail Building- CUP Submittal
Dear Planning Reviewer,
On behalf of Ten Mile Crossing, Inc., we are pleased to present the attached conditional use application for a new
one story retail building at 3333 W. Chinden Blvd. (R5330760800). This submittal entails a one story building with
associated site improvements and parking lot. The building provides accommodation for a dessert establishment on
the west side of building with a drive -through window on the north side of building.
The building will be constructed out of wood stud walls, with stucco field and stone accents as identified on the
attached exterior elevations. The roof will be wood joists with White TPO membrane roof. The roof and
mechanical equipment will be concealed by parapets.
Cohesive Design: Forms and materials are carried around the building to provide a cohesive
design. We are trying to continue some of the design elements from the Lost
Rapids building on Ten Mile Road.
Building Scale: The building provides human scale through door and window fenestration
sizing, and also metal canopy overhangs.
Building Form: The building is accentuated with four prominent corner features on the building,
providing building modulation and visual interest. Parapets are varied in height.
Architectural Elements: The building is accentuated with four prominent corner features on the building,

truck access is maintained via hammer head a turn around on the west side of
the building as well as a looped drive in the parking lot.
