I.l:>;DOHEX, 1:1")), Mr. Cralg Waldron November 20, 1985 Page 6 Offices uses will Include a three-story, 30,COO squdre foot br1ck and glass facility on the n~rthern portion of the Property adjacent to County Road D and an elght-story, 161,700 square foot glass curtain and bllCk facility on the extreme south of the Ploperty overlooking the eXisting Minnesoti Departmen~ of Transpoltation ponding are~. The eight-stoty offIce bU1IJing will be served by a three-level parking structure. A dllve-thru bank 1S also ploposed for future development on the southern quadrant of the Property. The balance of the uses on the Property wIll consist of 405,380 s~uare feet of one-story garden office/service facilities interspersed throughout the site. Individual buildings will Include between 20,000 and 50,000 square feet of floor area. As shown on the elevations submltted in sUpp0rt of the Application, two types of facilities are prop0sed: the first is a gatden office facility whiCh will consIst of all brIck ann ~llass exterior materials. The second is a serVlce center facility WhICh will also be constructed predominantly of brlck and glass but which may also Include decoratlve block below the top band paInted t~ match the bllCk. Loading areas are confined to the interlor throughout the entire Property. Some, but not all, of the garden office/service center facilltles wlll be equipped with dock high coors. The garden offlce/service facllltles p~oposed for the Property are intended to flll a market nlche between the tradltional office facility and the eXlsting offlce-warehouse facil1tles located in the City and other portions of the lnetropjlitan area. The garden office/service facilities will include a high percentage of office as compared to selVlce use: overall, it is expected that there wIIJ be 75 percent office and 25 percent service use. Indlvldual building& may Include up to 80 percent offlce use or as little as 50 pelcent office use. These faclllties wlll prOVide office suites, office/servlce combinatiOnq, sales/selvice and ~thel spPclalized spaces built to the operatlng and layout requlrements of indlvldual tenants. There IS currently a great demdod for offlcn space tor hIgh-technology companIes in the CIty and the metropolItan area. Such companies are rentIng space in garden offlce/service center bUildlngs becau~e ~he bUildlngs are mOle attractive and functlonal than previously bUllt off~ce/warehouse bU1ldings: palKlng is ~ear the front door: and more extensive lands~aping and soph4stlcated exterior materials ale being used. Tenants may have the optIon to display a company sign on the outslde of thp bUlldlny which provid~s an opportunity for exterior ljentlty and A~n~e rents are lower than traditional office space, young companle~ can start out et a lower cost and, as the company grows, space C3n be added. Buslness, profeSSIonal, computer, and other hlgh-tech companles need a high propOl tIon of offlce space but stlll need some setvlCe ateas for iecord stotage~ accounting, and laboratoties.
