Rev. 1/08
The purpose of this document is to request a clarification/small addition to the
site plan. To give you a short background... we currently are permitted by the
City to install balconies onto our buildings and plan to continue to add them to
create architectural features and views of the complex and natural landscape
given the large wetland that is part of this property. This request is to clarify the
ability to add decks in a few locations (which differ only in size from the balconies
which have been permitted; as a point of reference, the City also approved a
deck as part of the original site plan) to the buildings within the Auto MotorPlex
Campus.
As you are likely aware, the Auto MotorPlex Campus has grown quickly with a
quality look, feel and presence and we continue to attract an affluent group of
people who have been accretive to the City. Our clients tend to be conservative
and on the wealthier side. They enjoy the quality and security that has been
constructed at the MotorPlex and commensurately have added finishing to their
garage so they can enjoy their motorsports passion as well as hanging out with
like minded enthusiasts in a pleasant surrounding and natural beauty.
Currently, we have 6 balconies (ranging 3'x10' to 3'x16') and 1 observation deck
(12'x30) constructed on our buildings, please see the attached pictures for
examples. The construction of these balconies and deck has been permitted and
approved by the City. They have added accretive architectural features to the
buildings and additional functionality that has helped sales. Given the economic
times, this is important... it has been a buyer decision factor. All of these
structures are guided in our architectural guidelines section of our association
bylaws. The bylaws govern the look and finish of these balconies and decks to
ensure the quality and integrity of the Auto MotorPlex Campus.
The City does continue to allow for the construction of the balconies but wants
the input of the Planning Commission to support the decision of allowing 5
observation decks (identified as "0", ranging from 8'-14'W x 10'-20'L), see site
plan below, as well as 6'W x 10'-16'L balconies (identified as "B") on the north
side of two future buildings.
I am requesting that we be permitted to construct the additional observation
decks and balconies on remote parts of our buildings providing a scenic view of
the property. This is a feature that, in at least two cases, clients have purchased
their private garage with the belief that a deck can be constructed, given that a
permitted one already existed on the campus.
I request your approval of this clarification to the site plan.
Please see the pictures below, they show the site plan, balconies and deck
already built, two pictures of the view of where the proposed decks would be
located and a picture of what the balconies would likely resemble for two future
buildings (A & B on the site plan).
