Project Consistency Narrative <br />4501 BUILDING <br />Page Nine <br />e. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on roof, ground or <br />buildings should be screened from view. <br />Response: <br />The building design provides for a parapet on the north, south and east <br />side (front). <br />The roof surface behind the parapet slopes to the west, which enables the <br />north and south parapet to step and create a more interesting facade. The <br />height of the parapet is sufficient to block the view of any small mechanical <br />unit which would be installed on the roof from the public street that is lower <br />and some distance away. <br />f. Exterior lighting should be part of the architectural concept. Fixtures, <br />standards and all exposed accessories should be harmonious with <br />building design. <br />Response: <br />Exterior lighting has been selected and placed to compliment the building <br />and site design and provide visual focus on the building entry area at night. <br />g. Monotony of design in single or multiple building projects should be <br />avoided. Variety of detail, form and fitting should be used to provide <br />visual interest. <br />Response: <br />The street facade provides visual interest through the use of glazing, <br />recessed entries, landscaping, changes in color, and articulation of the <br />building surface. The design has detailing, form and balance appropriate <br />for a warehouse building in an industrial area. <br />5. Miscellaneous Structures and Street Furniture <br />a. Miscellaneous structures and street furniture should be designed to <br />be part of the architectural concept of design and landscape. <br />Materials should be compatible with buildings, scale should be <br />appropriate, colors should be in .harmony with •buildings and <br />surroundings, and proportions should be to scale. <br />Response: <br />The building has no street frontage that can be developed because of the <br />drainage channel and the wetland buffer. At this time no miscellaneous <br />structures or street furniture is proposed. <br />b. Lighting in. connection with miscellaneous structures and street furniture <br />should meet the guidelines applicable to site, landscape and buildings. <br />Response: <br />No lighting is proposed at this time. <br />29 <br />
