The primary�exterior materials would be brick (two-colors), non-tinted windows, and EIFS. Accent materials would be precast stone and prefinished metal panels. Colored renderings of the building elevations illustrating the proposed exterior finish materials are � attached. The applicant provided samples of the materials and colors that will be ava.ilable for viewing at the public hearing. , � Building Height The building would be placed on existing grade. The first floor elevation of the building would be approximately one foot above adjacent Wayzata Boulevard and three to four feet above adjacent Kelley Parkway. The defined height of the building is 35 feet, the height of the"pillar" adjacent to the main entrance. Wall height over the main entrance and an area on the Kelley Parkway side of the building is 33 feet 4 inches. Wall height for the remainder of the building is 31 feet 1 inch. The height of the roof deck is 29 feet 1 inch. The maximum allowed defined height(distance from existing grade to the top of the cornice) is 30 feet. With a . conditional use pernut maximum building height may be increased by 50 percent in � certain circumstances including"Parapet walls extending not more than three feet above height [roof deck?]�of the building", "Cupolas and domes which do not contain useable space", chimneys, cooling towers, and elevator penthouses. � The architect indicated the roof deck height is dictated by the needs of the medical offices that are the likely tenants. The Commission should consider if the additional 15 inches of " height in the two areas of the building and the pillar's additional 35 inches of height are � . integral to the design of the building and improve the overall appearance of the building. � A similar allowance was made for the development at Willow Drive and Wayzata Boulevard.
