System,our parking counts are planned not to exceed the minimum number of stalls required by <br /> ordinance. Our total number of parking stalls provided includes the existing 21 street parking stalls <br /> and another 87 to be provided on site. In the event that there is a need for additional onsite parking <br /> in the future,our interior landscape parking islands not required for site drainage have been <br /> included in our impervious calculations and may be paved at a later date if the need arises. <br /> Landscaping: <br /> Landscaping and planting have been designed for visual compatibility with the adjacent APi <br /> Headquarters and compliance with local zoning ordinance requirements,including parking lot <br /> screening using a combination of trees and shrubs. <br /> Site Lighting: <br /> The site and building will be illuminated similar to the existing headquarters building,which <br /> utilizes a combination of architectural building fixtures and shielded site lighting fixtures. Site and <br /> exterior building lighting will be controlled by photometric sensor(ON) and timer(OFF). <br /> Exterior Material and Colors: <br /> Our project has been designed to be visually compatible with the existing APi Headquarters <br /> Building at 1100 Old Hwy 8 NW,including use of matching natural stone veneer,prefinished metal, <br /> and architectural glazing assemblies. Rooftop equipment will be enclosed with a visually <br /> compatible architectural sheet metal screening system. <br /> LEED Certification and XCEL Energy Assistance Program <br /> Our project,as designed,is on track to achieve a 30%energy performance improvement over the <br /> baseline energy code compliant building. We have engaged energy consulting expertise and utility <br /> company participation to help us in meeting these goals. We have also evaluated USGBC's LEED <br /> Rating System and are still actively discussing its use on the project. <br /> Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the project. <br /> Best regards, <br /> Nor-Son,Inc. <br /> Jesse Hopkins <br /> Project Architect <br /> Nor-Son,Inc.
