DGR-Via email Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 1 of 6 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD for Mercedes Benz Sales & Service Facility NRA2017-000023 REQUEST: Alternative compliance to the Non-Residential Architectural Standards LOCATION: 3413 State Highway 6 South ZONING DISTRICT: GC General Commercial APPLICANT: Goree Architects, Inc. PROJECT MANAGER: Rachel Lazo, Staff Planner rlazo@cstx.gov Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 2 of 6 Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 3 of 6 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY As stated in Section 12-7.10.A of the Unified Development Ordinance, the intent of the Non- Residential Architectural Standards is to: 1) Protect and enhance the character and quality of non-residential buildings and associated site elements in the interest of the general welfare of the City; 2) Establish minimum design parameters for the appearance of non-residential buildings, including heightened standards for more visible and prominent areas of the community; 3) Not limit architectural creativity or prescribe a specific architectural style; and 4) Provide a balance between the community’s economic and aesthetic concerns. The Unified Development Ordinance grants the Design Review Board (DRB) the authority to hear and decide proposals for alternative compliance to the Non-Residential Architectural Standards. Specifically, Section 12-7.10.D states: The Design Review Board (DRB) may authorize variation to the overall requirements of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards through application from a licensed architect for an alternative compliance approval that would allow innovative or visually interesting design or to address unique circumstances not otherwise permitted through strict adherence to this section. Such requests must show reasonable evidence that the purposes of the requirements as set forth in this section were maintained and the additional design flexibility afforded does not provide a means to permit design of lesser quality. Based on these criteria, the Design Review Board can act upon the proposed request in one of the following ways: 1) Approve the request as proposed 2) Approve the request with conditions 3) Deny the request ITEM SUMMARY: BKCK LTD & Goree Architects are requesting an alternative compliance approval to the overall requirements of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards by demonstrating that the overall Mercedes Benz Image Program is an innovative and visually interesting design. CRITERIA: In order to promote quality construction and visually interesting non-residential structures, the UDO specifies minimum architectural standards that include building materials and architectural elements to achieve this goal. While the dealership meets some of the requirements, not all elements are compliant with the adopted standards. Some of the non- compliant features as highlighted by the applicant are described in more detail below. As the intent of the Design Review Board’s alternative compliance process is to offer an approval option that allows architects and the Board the ability to discuss overall visions and individual design decisions, dialog is not limited to non-compliant design elements. A letter from the project’s architect regarding the building’s design is attached to this staff report. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 4 of 6 Building Mass & Design Architectural Relief In order to provide visual interest, the primary façade or façade visible from a public right-of- way must use at least one (1) architectural relief element for every twenty five (25) horizontal feet of façade length. The West elevation (which is the primary façade facing Earl Rudder Freeway), and North elevation provide some architectural features but do not fully comply and the applicant is requesting the North façade be approved with no architectural relief elements, in lieu of the required 10. The applicant believes partial relief is being provided in the form of unique and energy efficient architectural design. The architect states: − Relief #1 is provided in the form of deep roof overhang with its exposed structural girders. This element meets the intent of this requirement by providing deep shadow lines while also providing cost effective energy solutions to an otherwise flat or redundant façade. − Relief #2 is provided in the form of expressed structural columns and exposed girders, − Relief #3 is an enclosed drive-thru service drive offset from the main façade plane to provide separate building massing. − Relief #4 is the glass curtain walls allowing a virtual depth into the building while providing consistency with the façade and allowing the building users to interact with the environment. The natural benefit to glass is that it can act as a screen to the elements while allowing the exterior to be enjoyed from the interior. As it transitions from day to night it reverses it’s outward focus to interior and allows increased depth to the façade and enhances the architectural relief. − Relief #5 is the entrance portal is within the showroom façade. It is composed of black ACM cladding while white ACM is used at the inside of the portal to add to the users’ experience. Roofline Design The horizontal line of a flat roof or parapet along primary entrance façades, facades facing a public street classified as a minor arterial or greater on the Thoroughfare Plan, or façades visible from a public street must vary a minimum of two (2) feet up or down where no more than 66% of the roof line is on the same elevation. The applicant did not specifically address in writing the roofline design of the proposed building, but is not required to when requesting alternative architectural compliance. Building Materials Fired Brick, Natural Stone, Marble, Granite Façades facing a public street, classified as a minor arterial or greater on the Thoroughfare Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 5 of 6 Plan, must provide 30% brick, stone, marble, granite or any concrete product that integrates color and texture/pattern that simulates brick, stone, marble or granite. Mercedes Benz’s façade facing Earl Rudder Freeway does not provide any of these materials. The applicant states that the introduction of brick, natural stone and/or marble granite into the design at this facade would deviate from the Mercedes Benz design, therefore impacting the dealer obligations with the manufacturer’s franchise agreement. Façades visible from a public right-of-way (as differentiated from facades ‘facing’ the right-of- way above) must provide 10% brick, stone, marble, granite or any concrete product that integrates color and texture/pattern that simulates brick, stone, marble or granite. The proposed Mercedes Benz has one façade visible from the proposed Pavilion Avenue extension, Facing Façade - East, which does not provide the minimum material requirement as required by this section. The applicant states that the introduction of brick, natural stone and/or marble granite into the design at this facade would deviate from the Mercedes Benz design therefore impacting the dealer obligations with the manufacturer’s franchise agreement. Wood or Cedar Siding, Stainless Steel, Chrome, Standing Seam Metal, Premium Grade Architectural Metal, Architecturally Finished Metal Panel Any façade, regardless of orientation or visibility, is allowed up to 30% wood or cedar siding, stainless steel, chrome, standing seam metal, premium grade architectural metal or architecturally finished metal panels (not corrugated metal). All façades of the showroom remodel are proposing over 30% architectural finished metal. The applicant is proposing additional architectural metal: Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) The Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) proposed for the aesthetics of Mercedes Benz of College Station is a product manufactured by Alpolic (Mitsubishi Plastics), a notable company that has supplied quality products and outstanding customer service to the building and construction industry for more than 30 years. The ACM offered from Alpolic is an innovative durable material that provides the highest quality finish to ensure a year round pristine look with minimal maintenance. The strong rigid construction of Alpolic composite material consist of a poly ethylene compound core between two sheets of aluminum. This creates a flat surface that eliminates dimpling, buckling, oil canning and retaining its flatness after folding. The ACM planned for the Mercedes Benz of College Station are further identified on the proposed elevations as EF-5, EF-6, and EF-7. The EF-5 ACM provides a painted black finish that is coated with a high-performance coating to meet and maintenance and durability standards while providing a fingerprint resistant finish. The EF-5, EF-6, and EF-7, ACM panels are protected and colored with Alpolic’s enhanced, high-performance Colorweld 500 coatings. This finish product features 70% Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resins with Fluoropolymer technology and are coil coated to ensure the highest color uniformity and quality. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 6 of 6 Corrugated Metal Panel The Corrugated Metal Panel (EF-12) is a concealed fastener wall panel that features a corrugated design that adds texture and contrast to the flat ACM metal panels mentioned above. The CS-260 corrugated panels are installed horizontally and provide a tactile relief that consists of a ribbing that adds a depth of 1.5”. The corrugated metal panel is manufactured by Centria which has the largest selection of metal wall products and panel systems in the building components industry and provides a superior Signature 300 finish. ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE OPTIONS: • Approve the proposed designs and materials • Approve with conditions • Deny SUPPORTING MATERIALS: 1. Application 2. Letter from Architect 3. Elevations of Proposed Building Façade 4. Site Plan (not officially submitted at this point) GOREEGOREEGOREEGOREE Applicable ordinance section being appealed/seeking waiver from: BKCK LTD & Goree Architects is requesting an alternative compliance approval to the overall requirements of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards by demonstrating that the overall Mercedes Benz Image Program is an innovative or visually interesting design. 1. The following specific alternative to/waiver from the ordinance is requested: Goree Architects is requesting an alternative compliance approval to the overall requirements of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards 2. The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial hardship is/are: The Mercedes Benz design utilizes a series of architectural, graphic, and fixture based elements to create the customer experience which is directly linked to Dealer Obligations as set forth in the franchise agreement with Mercedes Benz USA. 3. The following alternatives to the requested appeal / waiver are possible: None may be substituted. REQUIRED SCREENING • Mechanical Equipment: o All mechanical equipment will be screened BUILDING MASS & DESIGN Explanation of appeal/waiver request: The Mercedes Benz Brand Image utilizes a glass curtainwall system with a deep roof overhang and expressed architectural columns and girders to create the Mercedes Benz experience, required to maintain the consistency of all Mercedes Benz branded facilities. The percentage of metal material on this project exceeds the mandated requirements outlined in the NRA Standards but however you will find that the metal being proposed is of superior quality and finish that exceeds the appearance and quality of the approved materials. These metal panels are categorized based on their methods of manufacturing and construction type as stated below. • Horizontal Façade Articulation: o Under 200’ in length. Therefore none required • Building Entry Design: o Proposed extended roof overhang - meets this requirement T.O.P. - 25'-4" F.F. - 0'-0" ACM PORTAL W/ CANOPY (EF-5 & EF-6) TUBULAR STEEL COLUMN (PAINT EC-1 & EC-2) CURTAIN WALL AS SCHED.

While BMW of College Station meets some of the requirements, not all elements are compliant with the adopted standards. Some of the non- compliant features as highlighted by the applicant are described in more detail below. As the intent of the Design Review Board’s alternative compliance process is to offer an approval option that allows architects and the Board the ability to discuss overall visions and individual design decisions, dialog is not limited to non-compliant design elements. The architect for the project has provided a letter regarding the request, which is attached to this report. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 4 of 5 Building Mass & Design Architectural Relief In order to provide visual interest, the primary façade or façade visible from a public right-of- way must use at least one (1) architectural relief element for every twenty five (25) horizontal feet of façade length. The West elevation (which is the primary façade facing Earl Rudder Freeway), North, and South elevations provide some architectural features but do not fully comply. The applicant is requesting the East façade (rear of the building) be approved with no architectural relief elements, in lieu of the required 10. The applicant believes partial relief is being provided in the form of unique and energy efficient architectural design. The architect states: − Relief #1 is provided in the form of deep roof overhang. This element meets the intent of this requirement by providing deep shadow lines while also providing cost effective energy solutions to an otherwise flat or redundant façade. − Relief #2 is an enclosed drive-thru service drive offset from the main façade plane to provide separate building massing. − Relief #3 is the glass curtain walls allowing a virtual depth into the building while providing consistency with the façade and allowing the building users to interact with the environment. The natural benefit to glass is that it can act as a screen to the elements while allowing the exterior to be enjoyed from the interior. As it transitions from day to night it reverses its outward focus to interior and allows increased depth to the façade and enhances the architectural relief. Roofline Design The horizontal line of a flat roof or parapet along primary entrance façades, facades facing a public street classified as a minor arterial or greater on the Thoroughfare Plan, or façades visible from a public street must vary a minimum of two (2) feet up or down where no more than 66% of the roof line is on the same elevation. The applicant did not specifically address in writing the roofline design of the proposed building, but is not required to when requesting alternative architectural compliance. Building Materials Fired Brick, Natural Stone, Marble, Granite Façades facing a public street, classified as a minor arterial or greater on the Thoroughfare Plan, must provide 30% brick, stone, marble, granite or any concrete product that integrates color and texture/pattern that simulates brick, stone, marble or granite. BMW of College Station’s façade facing Earl Rudder Freeway does not provide any of these materials. The applicant states that the introduction of brick, natural stone and/or marble granite into the design at this facade would deviate from the BMW design, therefore impacting the dealer obligations with the manufacturer’s franchise agreement. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 5 of 5 Façades visible from a public right-of-way (as differentiated from facades ‘facing’ the right-of- way above) must provide 10% brick, stone, marble, granite or any concrete product that integrates color and texture/pattern that simulates brick, stone, marble or granite. The proposed BMW dealership has one façade visible from the proposed Pavilion Avenue extension, Facing Façade - East, which does not provide the minimum material requirement as required by this section. The applicant states that the introduction of brick, natural stone and/or marble granite into the design at this facade would deviate from the BMW design therefore impacting the dealer obligations with the manufacturer’s franchise agreement. Stucco, EIFS, Split-face Concrete Masonry, Fiber Cement Siding, etc. Any façade, regardless of orientation or visibility, is allowed up to 75% Stucco, EIFS, high build textured paint on concrete to simulate the appearance of stucco, split-face concrete masonry that does not simulate brick or stone, fiber cement siding, or reflective glass. Two of the four facades on the building are proposing over 75% EIFS and concrete tilt-wall. The applicant has stated the following in regards to allowing additional EIFS: The EIFS system proposed for the aesthetics of BMW of College Station is a product manufactured by Parex, a notable company that has supplied quality products and outstanding customer service to the building and construction industry for more than 30 years. The EIFS offered is a highly durable material that provides the highest quality finish to ensure a year-round pristine look with minimal maintenance. The EIFS planned for the BMW of College Station are further identified on the proposed elevations as EP- 1.

Design Review Board June 9, 2016 Page 1 of 6 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD for Wellborn SUD Office Renovations NRA2017-000005 REQUEST: Alternative compliance to the Non-Residential Architectural Standards LOCATION: 4118 Greens Prairie Road West ZONING DISTRICT: WC Wellborn Commercial APPLICANT: Billy Ballow, Architect at Goodwin Lasiter Strong PROJECT MANAGER: Jenifer Paz, AICP Senior Planner jpaz@cstx.gov Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 2 of 6 Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 3 of 6 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY: As stated in Section 12-7.10.A of the Unified Development Ordinance, the purpose of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards is to: 1) Protect and enhance the character and quality of non-residential buildings and associated site elements in the interest of the general welfare of the City; 2) Establish minimum design parameters for the appearance of non-residential buildings, including heightened standards for more visible and prominent areas of the community; 3) Not limit architectural creativity or prescribe a specific architectural style; and 4) Provide a balance between the community’s economic and aesthetic concerns. The Unified Development Ordinance grants the Design Review Board (DRB) the authority to hear and decide proposals for alternative compliance to the Non-Residential Architectural Standards. Specifically, Section 12-7.10.D states: The Design Review Board (DRB) may authorize variation to the overall requirements of the Non-Residential Architectural Standards through application from a licensed architect for an alternative compliance approval that would allow innovative or visually interesting design or to address unique circumstances not otherwise permitted through strict adherence to this section. Such requests must show reasonable evidence that the purposes of the requirements as set forth in this section were maintained and the additional design flexibility afforded does not provide a means to permit design of lesser quality. Based on these criteria, the Design Review Board can act upon the proposed request in one of the following ways: 1) Approve the request as proposed 2) Approve the request with conditions 3) Deny the request ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing exterior renovation to the existing Wellborn Special Utility District (SUD) Office building and has requested that their design be considered by the Design Review Board for alternative compliance to the non-residential architectural standards. The office building was originally built in 1976, before the property was annexed into the City in 2011. Based on direction provided in the Wellborn Community Plan, adopted by City Council in 2013, and feedback from stakeholders at a community focus group meeting the WC Wellborn Commercial zoning district and associated non-residential architectural standards were adopted by City Council in July 2016. On October 13, 2016, the property owner petitioned a rezoning of the subject property to WC Wellborn Commercial that would enable the renovation of the existing Wellborn SUD office site. The renovations include updating the front façade of the existing metal building, which is approximately 2,738 sq. ft., and adding on approximately 3,581 sq.ft. CRITERIA: In order to promote quality construction and visually interesting non-residential structures, the UDO specifies minimum architectural standards that include building materials and architectural elements to achieve this goal. While the Wellborn SUD Office renovation meets many of the requirements (e.g. horizontal façade articulation, building colors), not all elements are compliant with the adopted standards. Non-compliant features are described in more detail below. As the intent of the Design Review Board’s alternative compliance process is to offer an approval option that allows architects and the Board the ability to discuss overall visions and individual design decisions, dialog is not limited to non-compliant design elements. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 4 of 6 A letter from the project Architect has been attached to this staff report. The details provided below summarize the information stated in the letter. Building Mass & Design Building Entry In order to provide a sense of arrival and shelter, pubic entrances to building(s) are to feature a protected entry through the use of an awning, canopy, porte-cochere, recessed entry or other similar architectural element. Specifically, properties zoned WC Wellborn Commercial must provide a public entry facing the right-of-way and a covered front porch along the full length of the public entry façade(s) and buildings with frontage to Live Oak Street must provide a public entry facing Live Oak Street. The proposed façade facing Live Oak (the west elevation) does not provide a public entry nor a covered front porch, and the public entry facing Greens Prairie Road West (the south elevation) does not extend the full length of the public entry facade. The applicant has stated that there is not a need for a public entry on the west elevation and that the covered porch on the south elevation is sufficient. The architect believes: Given an egress door is not required by the International Building Code (IBC) 2015, it was not included in the building design. A public entry on the west side would have persons entering and exiting directly into, or adjacent to, a drive aisle which has the potential for pedestrian and automobile conflicts. Since the building code does not require this door, and a public entry on this side of the building has the potential for conflicting with traffic and the omission of this door and porch will not adversely affect the appearance of the building, the request is the elevation be left as it is currently designed. Architectural Relief In order to provide visual interest, the first two (2) stories of any primary façade or façade visible from a public right-of-way or public way shall use at least one (1) architectural relief element for every 25 horizontal feet of façade length. The north elevation, visible from Live Oak Street provides some architectural features but does not fully comply. The applicant believes that the lack of features is mitigated by the consistent use of exiting building materials and lack of direct visibility from the right-of-way. The architect states: The north elevation, of the new addition, was designed with metal wall material. This was done to match the exiting north elevation which also has metal wall material. This would allow for a continuity of materials on this elevation. The exiting metal panels are to be replaced with new panels to provide a continuous look of new materials. Additionally, the balance of each of the neighboring buildings, in view of the WSUD (Wellborn SUD) building, is at a minimum 90-100% metal siding. This means the north elevation will look the same as the surrounding buildings and will not adversely affect the image of the community. Finally, the north side of both the new addition, and the exiting building, are almost non-visible from both Live Oak Street and Greens Prairie Road. Since the new addition and the exiting building will share similar metal siding materials, and the neighboring buildings are predominantly metal clad and because the north elevation is not directly visible from the two primary streets, the request is that the metal siding on the north elevation remain. Design Review Board June 9, 2017 Page 5 of 6 Roof and Roofline Design Roofs shall be similar to residential roof types. Flat roofs are not permitted. Shed roofs are only permitted as part of a peaked roof network. A peaked parapet is permitted if it gives the appearance of a pitched roof from all sides. Roof slope must be a maximum of 8:12 and a minimum of 4:12. In the case of the subject building, the slope of the roof is less than the minimum, proposed at 3:12. The applicant believes the proposed roof slopes compliment the building appearance. The architect states: This is a 6,575 sq. ft. building, which is not very large and it has low eave heights. The 3:12 slope compliments the features of this building as opposed to the 4:12 slope which will make the building seem slightly out of proportion for its size. Additionally, each of the metal buildings on the neighboring sites are low sloped. None of these roofs are greater than 2:12 slope. Finally, the specified roof is an MBCI Super-Lok panel, and warranted, for a minimum slope of 1/2:12. Roof leaks will not be a problem based on the 3:12 slope. Since the lower roof slope complements the building appearance, because the community buildings each have lower roof slopes and because the roof is warranted for the 3:12 slope, the request is that the roof slope be accepted. Building Materials Metal Wood or cedar siding, stainless steel, chrome, standing seam metal, premium grade architectural metal, or architecturally finished metal panels (not corrugated metal) cannot cover more than 30% of any façade. The north and east elevation exceed the maximum metal allowed on one façade. The applicant stated that the portion of the east elevation that is proposed to be pre-finished metal wall panel is replacing the existing metal siding with the new panels to provide a continuous look of new materials. The north elevation is proposed to be made up of the same metal wall panels, which the applicant believes will not adversely affect the image of the community. Additionally, the architect expressed that the proposed material is similar to surrounding buildings and that both elevations are not facing Live Oaks Street & Greens Prairie Road. The architect also expressed that since the metal panels are existing and neighboring building are predominantly metal clad, the proposed siding on each elevation should be approved by the Board. Fired Brick, Natural Stone, Marble, Granite Façades visible from a public right-of-way must provide 10% brick, stone, marble, granite or any concrete product that integrates color and texture/pattern (not aggregate material) that simulates brick, stone, marble or granite. A side or rear façade of a building is considered visible from a public right-of-way or public way if it is located within 400 feet. The north elevation is visible to Live Oak Street and does not provide the minimum material required by this section. The applicant stated that the new and existing buildings will share similar metal siding materials and the neighboring buildings are predominantly metal clad. The architect expressed that the north elevation is not directly visible from the two primary streets, Live Oak Street or Greens Prairie Road West.

These requests are as follows: Paragraph 1: The City has noted that frontage on Live Oak Street is to have a public entry (door and porch) on the west elevation. Per the IBC 2015, an egress door was not required so it was not included in the building design. Additionally, a public entry on the west side would have persons entering and existing directly into, or adjacent to, a drive way which has the potential for pedestrian and automobile conflicts. In my professional opinion since the building code does not require this door, because a public entry on this side of the building has the potential for conflicting with traffic and because the omission of this door and porch will not adversely affect the appearance of the building, we would respectfully request that this elevation be left as it is currently designed. Paragraph 2: The City has required architectural relief elements on the north elevation. The north elevation, of the new addition, was designed with metal wall material. This was done to match the existing north elevation which also has metal wall material. This would allow for a continuity of materials on this elevation. The existing metal panels are to be replaced with new panels to provide a continuous look of new materials. Additionally, the balance of each of the neighboring buildings, in view of the WSUD building, is at a minimum 90-100% metal siding. This means the north elevation will look the same as the surrounding buildings and will not adversely affect the image of the community. Finally, the north side of both the new addition, and the existing building, are almost non-visible from both Live Oak Street and Greens Prairie Road. This means the elevation is not directly visible from these streets. In my professional opinion, since the new addition and the existing building will share similar metal siding materials, because the community buildings are predominantly metal clad and because the north elevation is not directly visible from the two primary streets, we would respectfully request that the metal siding on the north elevation remain. Paragraph 3: The City has required the roof slopes be changed from 3:12 to be 4:12. Architecturally, this building is 6, 575 sf which is not very large and it has low eave heights. The 3:12 slope compliments the features of this building as opposed to a 4:12 slope which will make the building seem slightly out of proportion for its size. Additionally, each of the metal buildings on the neighboring sites are low sloped. None of these roofs are greater than a 2:12 slope.

In my professional opinion, since the lower roof slope compliments the building appearance, because the community buildings each have lower roof slopes and because the roof is warranted for the 3:12 slope, we would respectfully request that the 3:12 roof slope be accepted. Paragraph 4: The City has requested no more than 30% on the North and East Elevations to be metal building material. The north elevation was addressed in a previous paragraph 2. In regards to the east metal wall materials; these panels are existing and will be replaced with new panels to provide a continuous look of new materials. Additionally, the balance of each of the neighboring buildings, in view of the WSUD building, is at a minimum 90-100% metal siding. This means the east elevation will look the same as the surrounding buildings and will not adversely affect the image of the community. In my professional opinion, since the metal panels on the north and east elevations are existing and because the community buildings are predominantly metal clad we would respectfully request that the metal siding on the north and east elevations remain. Paragraph 5: The City has required a minimum of 10% masonry product on the North Elevation. Paragraph 2 explains the design concept for keeping with metal wall panels on the north elevation. In my professional opinion, since the new and existing buildings will share similar metal siding materials, because the community buildings are predominantly metal clad and because the north elevation is not directly visible from the two primary streets, we would respectfully request that the metal siding on the north elevation remain. Paragraph 6: The City has required for the existing building to be brought into compliance with the building materials and colors 10% rule. The new addition complies with the City ordinances in regards to materials and colors with the exception of the north elevation which has been addressed in Paragraphs 2 and 5. 30% of the existing building masonry will be concealed by the new addition. This leaves 34% of existing masonry and 54% of the existing metal wall materials exposed. The existing masonry will be replaced with new masonry to match the new addition. The existing metal wall materials will be replaced with new metal panels to match the new addition. In essence, the existing exterior building materials will be new to complement the new addition. Considering that the neighboring buildings in the area are pre-engineered metal buildings cladded in metal wall materials and because the end result of this construction project will create one of the nicest buildings in the community, we would respectfully request that the 10% rule be waived for this building.
