modifications; the original building elevations; and the proposed building elevations.
Ten copies of these documents will be delivered to your office this afternoon.
Four samples of precast concrete wall panels (2 from the earlier approved design; 2 showing the currently proposed

Re: Simonet's Furniture Building/Oak Park Heights Furniture Warehouse
Memorial Avenue North
Lot 2, Block 1, Oak Park Station Second Addition
TPC File: 236.02—15.04
Mr. Johnson:
I am writing to request that the City of Oak Park Heights consider alterations to the
previously approved design for the Simonet's Furniture Company building.
The building is to be constructed at Memorial Avenue North and 581"Street. The project
was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 9, 2016; and subsequently
approved by the City Council on June 27, 2016.
At this time,we are proposing the following modifications:
1. Building Color:
The building is to be completely enclosed by precast concrete wall panels with an
exposed aggregate finish I texture.
During the planning approval process; the precast concrete panels were
presented with primarily a buff/tan color; and a brown color on accent panels.
We are currently proposing precast concrete panels primarily in a warm gray/
beige color; and a charcoal gray color for the accent panels.
2. Monument Signs:
At the time of planning approval; the proposed site development included (2)
freestanding monument signs. The signs were illustrated at a height of 8 feet,
and a sign area of 48 square feet each (4' high x 12' long).
At this time, we are proposing (2) monument signs; with a height of 8 feet, and a
sign area of 64 square feet each (4' high x 16' long).

3. Precast panel texture:
The current design includes an 8x16 stamped pattern in three horizontal bands
running across the precast concrete wall panels. This pattern is being added to
provide additional texture and character to the building.
4. Window locations:
The quantity and size of windows is the same as previously approved. In the
current design the windows are located one foot higher in the wall. As currently
proposed, the windows are 8 feet tall and the window sills will be 36 inches
above the floor.
5. Canopy color:
The metal canopy over the main entrance would be clad in prefinished metal
panels, in a color matching the Simonet's logo—instead of a tan/gray color
shown during the planning process.
Drawings that illustrate the approved building elevation/design; AND the proposed
design changes—are being provided along with this letter.
Also, samples of the precast concrete wall panel colors (earlier design option, AND
proposed option) are being provided for your review.
We appreciate your consideration of this request. Please let me know if you have any
questions or if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
aq414-/ (1
