September 18, 2003 City of Carmel Department of Community Services Special Studies Committee One Civil Square Cannel, IN 46032 Reference: Circuit City Superstore -Clay Terrace Subject: ADLS Amendment (#03090023) Deaz Committee Members, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for then time and efforts in discussing and reviewing documents relative to this request. We at Taylor Scott Architects have been working closely with Circuit City and the developer, Louth Property Group, to produce design documents and renderings in conformance with the ADLS guidelines. In response to the Deparhnent Report Dated Oct. 7, 2003, we offer the following: A narrative explaining the proposed changes. • Narrative contained within this document 2. Please provide a site plan of the building showing its frontages and relating its location within the Clay Terrace Development. Also, include building width and distance to road rights-of--way. • This site plan is being provided by Fred Simmons in cooperation with Louth Property Group. 3. The proposed signs located on the spandrel aze not considered window signs. Please remove. It is our understanding that we will be allowed to have signage, as long as it does not exceed 3 squaze feet in area and is limited to no more than 1 out of every 3 panels of glass on the West elevation. Please reference provided revised renderings which depict window graphics in conformance with these restrictions. Additionally lazger window graphics have been placed on vision glass panels on the West elevation. The azea of the window graphics is less then 30 % of the window azea as required by ADLS restrictions. 4. Per the Clay Terrace PUD, please show the cart corrals as being of masonry materials to match the building and provide details. • It is Circuit City's intent to construct cart corrals which are in keeping with these requirements. Please reference provided design drawings depicting cart corrals of materials to match the overall building. 5. Screen the exposed side of the trash compactor with a wood swinging fence or vegetation. Relocation of the unit to within the building would be preferred. • It is not possible to relocate the compactor to within the building. Operationally, the location as shown on the previously submitted documents is in keeping with Circuit City's plan. It is our position that the compactor azea will not be visible from US 31 (reference provided siteline studies). We understand that the staff has some concern about visibility of the compactor area from the proposed exit ramp. We also understand that the staff has concerns about excess bales being stored in front of the compactor or elsewhere at the reaz of the building. It is Circuit City's operations plan to restrict bales from being located outside of the building walls. All such bales will be contained within the building or within the compactor itself. In an effort to alleviate staff s concerns, however, Circuit City agrees to provide additional depth at the compactor enclosure as well as a swinging gate to screen from possible views. Please reference provided revised rendering and plan depicting modified compactor area. 1437 SOUTH BOULDER SUITE 800, TULSA, OK 74119-3609 (918) 587-8600 • FAX 587- 8601 -- TAYLOR SCOTT ARCHITECTS, INC. 6. Please return fagade walls into building. We understand that staff desires the "tower" feature on the south elevation to have a substantial depth or thickness to avoid appearing as an "old west" stagefront. Please reference provided revised rendering which depicts additional depth at the south tower feature. The depth of this tower feature approximately matches the depth of the front entry tower. We feel that the depth of approximately 6'-0" is the maximum depth which can be achieved without having to incur additional and excessive stmctural framing and expense, as well as additional roof penetrations which aze undesirable. 7. The landscaping shown on the renderings is inconsistent with the site plan. Please revise. • A revised landscape plan is being provided by Fred Simmons in cooperation with Lauth Property Group. Please reference provided revised renderings which have been coordinated with this plan. 8. The tower element on the south elevation does not present a consistent image far the building as viewed from US 31. Please revise back to maintain consistent image. • After having discussed this item with staff and presenting possible alternatives, we have modified the south tower element. Please reference provided revised rendering which depicts a south tower element, which is more in keeping with the consistency of the east elevation. 9. Please give specifics on the wall signs, including azea and sign type (per the approved sign types). • We presented sign drawings, prepared by Circuit City's signage vendor, to staff on Oct. 2, 2003. After having discussed the design, it is our understanding that the proposed signs are in keeping with both the landlord's criteria and the city's requirements. These walls signs will be externally illuminated by a wall- mounted light fixture. Please reference provided sign vendor drawings and proposed wall-mounted light fixture cut sheets. 10. The building has two frontages. Two signs will be permitted. The sign on the north elevation will require variance approval. • It is our position that this building has at least three frontages: west elevation fronting Range Line Rd. extension, south elevation fronting parking loUprivate road, north elevation fronting 146`s street. Of course, the east elevation fronts US 31, but we understand that no wall signage is allowed on elevations facing US 31. Circuit City had previously understood that this building would be allowed to have wall signage not exceeding 50 square feet in conformance with Sign Chart A: Non-Freeway for single tenant and multi- tenant buidings (building located over 300 feet from street right of way and not having more than 50 linear feet of building frontage). We feel that the design of the north elevation and sign element is in keeping with the overall consistency of the building design and serves to increase the azchitectural interest of the north fapade. 11. Provide exhibit illustrating height of all proposed roof-top mounted equipment to verify that it does not exceed screen wall heights. • Please refer to the previously provided siteline study renderings which show that no roof-top mounted equipment will be visible. The three-dimensional model used to constmct this perspective rendering included locations and heights of all roof-top mounted HVAC equipment. Tlris equipment is shown to be not visible based on the grading information and other data collected to produce the study. Because a mechanical engineer and stmctural engineer have not been engaged at this point of the design process, we have taken typical information and used a conservative approach to locating wall heights relative to HVAC units. During completion of construction documents, Circuit City and its design consultants will review and verify screening of roof-top mounted equipment. 12. Provide a copy of the approved elevations and site plan to each member of the committee for comparison. • The approved elevations and site plan will be provided as requested by Fred Simmons in cooperation with Lauth Property Group. 1437 SOUTH BOULDER SUITE 800, TULSA, OK 74119-3609 (918) 587-8600 • FAX 587- 8601 ~i ..
