Project Consistency Narrative <br />4501 BUILDING <br />Page Seven <br />f. Screening of service yards and other places, which tend to be <br />unsightly, should be accomplished by the use of walls, fencing, <br />planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in <br />winter and summer. <br />Response: <br />The storage area east of the service doors is screened from view from <br />offsite area by a combination of existing evergreens, new evergreens, <br />existing buildings, the new building, and site obscuring fencing. Some <br />deciduous planting is provided within those areas for variation and will not <br />diminish the effectiveness of the screening in the winter. <br />g. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such <br />as fences, walls, and paving of wood, brick, stone or gravel may be <br />used. <br />Response: <br />Gravel will be used in areas where parking overhang will cause planting to be <br />ineffective. <br />h. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the <br />adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a <br />design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting <br />should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and <br />brilliant colors should be avoided. <br />Response: <br />The photometrics of all light fixtures will be selected to limit light effects to <br />the site and provide 1 fc. (noon light) at the edge of the adjoining property. <br />Light fixtures will be color corrected metal halide so the color will be white <br />and the fixture efficient. <br />Current light design for the site calls for four types of fixtures. These have <br />been selected based on there location. Along the south edge of the <br />parking lot two 30 foot high 250 watts shoe box pole lights are provided. <br />These fixtures will light the parking lot and the pedestrian path to the <br />building. <br />At the building entry two 75 watt recessed down lights will be installed in <br />the soffitt to light the entry alcove to make it warm and inviting. In the two <br />landscaped islands at each end of the parking in front of the office are two <br />75 watt pole mounted pedestrian walkway lights that will provide lighting for <br />the parking area and make this area feel secure. These are located so that <br />they will provide surface lighting at each adjacent drive in doors. <br />27 <br />
