ATTACHMENTS ExhibitA:ApplicantLetterandBuildingElevations ExhibitB:AreaMap ExhibitC:Section106928,ArchitecturalDesignGuidelines ExhibitD:ExteriorFaçadeMaterialsPolicy 2 EXHIBIT A February 1, 2016 Mr. Eric J. Ensey, City Planner City of La Porte Planning & Development 604 W. Fairmont Parkway La Porte, Texas 77571 RE: ARTICLE IX. - DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR GC, NC AND BI DISTRICTS Dear Mr. Ensey, We would like to submit the attached Exhibit for consideration of our Stripes Prototype Design in conjunction with the City of La Porte’s Design Guidelines. The location we are referencing specifically is the Stripes site located at Spencer and Bay Area, for Tier 2 compliance specifically. Our interpretations and requests for deviation are included in the comments below, which correspond to the attached Elevation, Floor Plan and colored perspective. Sec. 106-928 – Architectural Design Guidelines (a)Building Form: While our wainscot / base extends to a height of 9’-0”, the awning clearly defines this separation between a ‘base’ and a ‘middle’ component, as the color and/ or material changes here as well to further define a separate component. The design includes a top / fascia along the tops of the walls as well. (b)Building Articulation: (1a) Horizontal Articulation: -Convenience Store side---Height is 21’-8” x 3 = 65’, however, our wall length is just over this at 67’-8”. There is an offset of 6’ (21’-8” x 25% = 5.42’ offset depth required) that extends a width of 15’-8” (67’-8” x 25% = 16.92’ width required). We would ask that these be approved with the current design, as we feel the intent is met with the variation of the wall planes and depths albeit the exact dimensional requirements are not met. -Restaurant side ---19’-8” x 3 = 59’, the current wall length is 28’-0” and, therefore, is compliant with the length restriction. There is an offset of approximately 3’ (19’-8” x 25% = 4.92’ offset depth required) that extends a width of 15’-6” (28’-0” x 25% = 7’). We would ask that the dimension of the offset depth be approved as is, as we feel the intent is met with the variation of the wall planes and depths. (1b) Vertical Articulation: 1705 S. Walton Blvd., Suite 3, Bentonville, Arkansas 72712 Phone 479.273.7780 Fax 888.520.9685 www.hfa-ae.com EXHIBIT A Page 2 -Convenience Store side---Height is 21’-8” x 3 = 65’, however, our wall length is just over this at 67’-8”. Wall height of 21’- 8” x 25% = 5.42’ height change required. We have a height change of 3’-0” from this portion of the building to the tower element. Again, although the exact dimension required is not met, we feel we are meeting the intent of the guidelines by varying the roof height and would ask this be approved as currently designed. -Restaurant side---19’-8” x 3 = 59’, the current wall length is 28’-0”. Wall height of 19’-8” x 25% = 4.92’ height change required. We have a height change of 5’-0” from this portion of the building to the tower element and therefore are compliant with the required dimensional changes. (c)Roofs: Not applicable. (d)Architectural Design Elements (1) The design includes 3 of the design elements in the list: a. awnings; c. vertical elements (tower); and e. outdoor patio. (2) Not applicable. (3) Tier 2 to incorporate no less than two of the architectural elements, we include three as listed in item 1. (4) Not applicable. (e)Exterior Façade Materials (1)The elevations are comprised of factory primed Nichiha Fiber Cement Board panels, Illumination and Architectural Block series. We would interpret that the City consider these to be the cementitious fiberboard listed under Group B (although the installation is not lap siding or board and batten). Additionally, we would ask that the Nichiha VintageWood series panels used for the tower elements be classified aethetically as Wood under Group C. These panels provide the look and beauty of wood, backed by the longevity and durability of fiber cement. (2) None of the listed prohibited materials are included in our façade design. (3)Not applicable. (4)The dominant color of the building is a muted gray. However, the upper portion of the building on the convenience store side contains variations of 3 blues, specific to the Stripes and Sunoco brands and brand identity. Additionally, the green on the Laredo Taco Company (LTC) side of the building is the trademarked LTC green color, also specific to its brand recognition. 1705 S.
