RE: Architectural Control Committee Review
Eckerd's
Harry:
Below please find a response to the review that was made on May 15, 1998. Due to the time that
elapsed, we have stated that the original commcnts and tbcn how it was addressed in bold type.
1. It is preferable tbr thc gabled facade clements to be all brick in lieu of thc drivit as shown. The
monumental elements in a more permanent material would read as a better statement of quality.
Response - Gabled elements were revised to be all brick ( complied ).
2. Column side elevations for the protruding gable element at the north side as indicated in
Elevation 01 indicate brick at only the base of the columns, yet the facade Elevation 04 indicates
brick to the approximate 15 tbot line on the columns. One or the other indications is incorrect and
tile draxvings do not reflect a consistent condition in this area. Drawing Elevation 02 indicates brick
again to the approximate 15 foot line on the colulnn Icg dctails, however the 04 elevation indicates
the side of that protruding gabled clement colunm as non-brick, thcrclbre, the drawings arc incorrect
on one or the other of thc elevations.
Response - Elevations were revised to better show what was intended. Material is brick
to approximately is 15' above finish floor ( complied ).
3. Thc drawings indicate a fairly small parapct height toward the front of thc store. This area is vel3,
critical because of the downhill slope northbound on Denton Tap. It is mm~datory that roof-top units
be screened and adequate parapet heights be incorporated in order to assure the screening of these
units fi:om the adjacent streets. Draxvings indicate all approximate 3 foot parapet height which will
not be adequate for any units that happen to be located in the forward 1 / 3 of thc building..
Response - Increasing the parapet height for northbound traffic is not seen as necessary
due to the location on the site and recently constructed building to the south which
blocks visibility,,.. In our conversation during the approval process at the city, it was
agreed to that if HVAC units or any other objectionable objects are visible that we will
take appropriate actions to maintain the integrity of Town Center.
4. Indication of metal material for thc back of the gable clements is not acceptable. These parapets
12200 STEMMONS FREEWAY, SUITE 317 DALLAS, TEXAS 75234 (972) 484-5977 * FAX (972) 484-8641
will be visible from Denton Tap nm'thbound and need to be finished in either the drivit material or
in brick to match thc rest of the building.
Response - Due to condition stated in item 3 these will not be seen ( co~nplied ).
5. There appears to mc no indication of landscaping on the site plan. Please resubmit a site plan
indicating areas to bc landscaped, areas to be paved, and areas to include tree placement.
Response - Landscape plan is included in this paclCage and exceeds the requirements
that are set forth in the ordinance for this property ( complies ).
6. There are no indicmions of lighting, light pole sizes, or height and complete compatibility of
adjacent uses will be required. Please submit photo metrics as part of your resubmittal.
Response - Site lighting has been added to the site. The fixtures and lighting levels will
match the cit-y offices within the Town Center ( complies ).
7. No indication is given for materials or type of construction for the screen wall at the back of the
building.. This will be required to be masonry to match thc building brick.
Response - The rear screen wall uses the same brick that is used on the building
( complied ).
8. Metal coping and gable top detail indicates a very small piece of metal coping. The fascia profile
of this should be cxtcnded to bc at least 8 inches in order to bc proportional massing and size of the
building..
/
Response - The metal coping that is located at the top of the parapet is set at 5". This
is a typical size of coping aud would be our request to use the understated approach.
It' you have any other questions, please contact me.
