Page 8 of 20 Under Section 1325.05, Subd. 8.J there are requirements for restaurant outdoor seating areas. The Applicant had indicated during the concept review that the fast food restaurant (i.e. Panera) will include an outdoor seating area. The Applicant intends to comply with these requirements. Car Wash Building – Flexibility Requested The proposed building elevations consist of brick masonry, transparent glass, polycarbonate panels, and metal panels. The Planning Commission should review the architectural design of the car wash building and transparency requirements. The Applicant is seeking flexibility on the car wash building with regards to the 75% threshold with desired materials on the north and south elevations and the transparency requirements on the south elevation facing Grey Fox Road. The following table shows the breakdown of materials for the multi-tenant building: Required Preferred Materials Proposed Preferred Materials Other Materials Required Transparency Proposed Transparency North Façade 75% 70% 30% N/A 0% East Façade 75% 91% 9% N/A 19% South Façade 75% 72% 28% 50% 15% West Façade 75% 85% 15% N/A 44% Section 1325.05, Subd. 8, D.1 states that at least 75% percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank, transparent glass or any combination thereof. The Planning Commission should provide comment on whether or not the use of a clear polycarbonate material would be considered acceptable in meeting the 75% threshold with desired materials to satisfy “transparent glass” and to satisfy commercial façade transparency requirements. The Applicant on the building elevation plan sheet for the car wash has shown the north elevation will be constructed with 30% clear polycarbonate and the south elevation is a combination of glass and clear polycarbonate at 45.4%. The Applicant has shown the glass and polycarbonate materials as “Primary” in order to satisfy the building materials and transparency code requirements.
