Discussion
Design Review
Architectural
Theapplicant has requested the city consider two alternatives for the new entry vestibule – as
the property owner has yet to formally selectone option. Both options involve a projected
entryway that meets the site’s driveway. The projected entryway would be constructed with
champaign-colored metal panels.
The one story-option would include a glass wall with spandrel and vision glass intermixed and
would be recessed inward from the rest of the building. The three story option projects the
glass wall slightly in front of the rest of the building and intermixes the vision glass and metal
panels. Please see at the top of the next page a rendering of the two options.

Project Scope Narrative
Re:
INTRODUCTION:
This project will involve the removal of existing entry vestibule and canopy so a new entry
vestibule addition and new canopy may be constructed on the existing 3-story medical office
building that was originally built in 1983. As part of the project, the Building Owner also plans to
remodel the public areas of the buildings interior. Note there are two exterior design options the
Building Owner is evaluating for construction:
Base Bid
One-Story Entry Vestibule Addition and New Canopy
Alternate #1
Three-Story Entry Vestibule Addition and New Canopy
Overall, the Building Owners preference is to construct the alternate design of the Three-Story
Entry Vestibule if the final construction bids fall within their budget. The Base Bid design of the
One-Story Entry Vestibule will only be constructed if the Building Owner cannot afford to build
Alternate #1.
The projects design will include Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Structural
Engineering. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection designs will be completed
through a Design/Build delivery method by the selected General Contractor.
ZONING CLASSIFICATION:
The project is located on an existing parcel within the BC Commercial Zoning District. All
surrounding properties are within either the BC Commercial Zoning District or BCM Building
Commercial Modified.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION:
The Maplewood Professional Building is a medical office building owned by Healthcare Realty.
The Owner provides tenant lease space for a variety of healthcare tenants in a B-Occupancy.

SITE CONSIDERATIONS:
There are no extensive site modifications proposed as a part of this project that negatively impact
the existing site drainage. The civil engineer has made improvements to the site drainage by
adding a catch basin at the existing trash enclosure area. Also, the landscape has been designed
to enhance the new canopy and addition at the north entry of the building and all existing trees
are to remain. Note that there are no proposed modifications to the existing site lighting for the
building and the new canopy will provide a large amount of new light at the entry of the building.
