Johnson Ms.Julie Hultman City Administrator Planning &Code Enforcement City of Oak Park Heights 14168 Oak Park Blvd. N Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 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). 1 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.
