As we have moved through the design process we have <br /> identified severai improvements to this condominium building that we would like to <br /> incorporate into the pian. <br /> 8uildinq Desiqn <br /> The StoneBay condominium project still includes 62 uniks as originally approved. While <br /> the original concept included two buiidings joined by a common underground parking <br /> area, this concept includes the same shared underground parking, but links�the two <br /> buildings above ground to provide (arger living spaces and additional amenities as the <br /> local housing market dictates. The revised plan also has elimina#ed the front garage <br /> access which cleans up and simplifies the front elevation. <br /> The central core area was added to create a single building and provide many new <br /> facilities for community use by the residents. This core area includes amenities such as <br /> a Guest unit, a large Community room, an exercise room, hot tub area, and the parking <br /> level includes individua! tenant storage cubicles. These added amenities allow for an <br /> improved quality of life, which is essential in today's competitive rnarket and will help <br /> the developer continue StoneBay's commitment to quality in the Orono community. <br /> The central core has been limited to 2 stories at the front of the building to minimize the � <br /> visual mass. As previously shown, the western end of the building is also limited fio 2 <br /> stories to minimize mass. <br /> Another essential interior building amenity is to provide 9'-0" ceiling heights on all 3 <br /> floors to address market demand and current construction standards for this type of <br /> 650 BU7LER NORTH BUILDING 510 FIRST AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS,MN 55403 � <br /> OFPICE:612.252.9070 FAX:612.252.9077 ww�v.landform.net : <br /> '�TITI`7'IT. f'fi':=7^t'►r1'�7^17'T'7-TI"I"1'- • <br />
