Bringing building fronts close to the edge of streets or ponds and wetland enhance continuity, attractiveness and intimacy of pedestrian spaces. Specific regulations for Build-to Lines are: a Build-to Lines occur at the edge of the dedicated right-of-way, where property meets a publicly accessible street, path or water and wetland amenity. a To contribute towards meeting the Build-to requirement, building facades must be sited within zero to ten feet of the public right of way. a Parks or plazas may be used to satisfy up to 20 percent of the build-to requirement, and must be landscaped with shade trees and furnished with seating areas. a Standards for Build-to Lines and associated elements such as minimum building height, building frontage and building entry as well as window placement and frequency are described in greater detail in the Architectural Standards Section. a Landscaped Frontages Landscaped Frontages shall be used to extend a sense of enclosure to the street in locations where street-facing buildings are not required.

The towers will terminate important local vistas and visually announce. the Andover Station Commercial Center from Bunker Lake Boulevard and Commercial Boulevard. a Gateways Entrances to the Town Center shall be marked by distinctive features that announce the Andover Station, Commercial Center and foster a memorable sense of arrival. a Buildings a Minimum Height Street facing buildings must be at least 20 feet high. Minimum building height is measured relative to the fmished grade. Minimum height is measured to the highest point of the roof, excluding minor lengths of parapets, cupolas, or other discontinuous projecting features. Continuous parapets or false fronts and peaked or sloped roofs do qualify towards meeting the minimum height. a Maximum Height Page 5 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT In all locations, the maximum allowable building height is 45 feet, measured at the tallest part of the building. a Minor Projections Minor projections and special architectural features such as clock towers, bell towers, cupolas and ornamental portions of parapet walls may extend up to 10 feet above the maximum height, provided they make up no more than one third of the length ofa building's fal;ade. a Towers Towers of high architectural merit are called for as shown in the prototype evaluations. Towers must be integrated into a building. The towers may not exceed a height of 65 feet, plus minor projections not to exceed one foot in width and five feet in height (a total of20 feet above the maximum building height). 2. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS / a Building Entries and Windows Building massing shall be used to highlight the location of building entries. Primary pedestrian entries shall be clearly expressed and be recessed or framed by a sheltering element such as an awning, arcade, porch or portico. Greater height may be used to accentuate entries in the form of tower elements tall openings, or a central mass at an entry plaza. a Reveals Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. Page 6 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT a Building Scale and Definition The guidelines in this section are intended to create buildings with a human scale, making Andover Station Commercial Center more pedestrian-friendly and pleasant place to walk. o Structural Legibility and Articulation Fal;ade articulation is required. Building fenestration (windows and doors) and changes in mass shall relate to structural system(s) and the organization of interior space. Vertical architectural features such as columns and piers help articulate building mass. a Roof Form/Rooftop Equipment A variety of roof forms are permitted. Changes in roof form must correspond with a building's structural bays and massing. Mechanical equipment must be integrated into overall mass of a building and screened behind parapets or recessed into hips, gables, parapets and similar features. Plain equipment boxes are not acceptable. o Materials and Methods of Construction Buildings shall support regional traditions and maintain a high level of craft in the process of construction. Wood masonry, field, brick, rock face block, stucco and stone are appropriate building materials. a Consistency Exterior materials and finishes shall convey a sense of integrity and durability. Buildings must incorporate consistent, pedestrian-scale textures and details on all sides that are visible from public streets and pedestrian pathways. Page 7 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT a Glass Clear glass must be used for windows and doors; mirrored glass is prohibited. G lass curtain walls are discouraged. a Simulated Materials Materials that are visibly simulated or prefabricated are prohibited. Scored plywood (such as T I-I I) is prohibited. a Proper Application and Detailing Materials must be properly applied and correctly detailed, especially at the base of buildings, along cornices, eaves, parapets or ridge tops and around entries and windows. Material changes must not occur at external corners, but may occur at reverse or interior corners or as a return at least four feet from external corners. a Energy Conservation and Climatic Response The effects of the Minnesota climate can be mitigated through intelligent building design, configuration and landscape treatments. The following approach will also foster regional sense of place. a Day lighting Day lighting techniques minimize the need for electric lighting and can reduce peak-hour energy consumption by as much as 20 percent. While windows are the most common form of day lighting, light from windows rarely penetrates more than about 20 feet. Additional day lighting can be obtained with clerestories, light shelves and skylights. a Ventilation and Thermal Mass Page 8 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT To lessen dependence on air conditioning, natural cross ventilation shall be maximized. Operable windows, transoms, doors, and vents shall be located to facilitate airflow across a space. These openings are especially useful on sides facing toward and opposite prevailing winds. a Passive Heating and Cooling Site and building design shall consider passive heating and cooling strategies such as deciduous tree plantings that provide shade in the summer and sun in the winter. Heat-retaining thermal mass (such as concrete or brick) designed. into building walls or columns absorbs heat during the day and radiates heat at night. Building design that shades opening reduces direct heat gain during the day. Shading elements can also add dimensionality to building facades. Eaves or awnings can be sized to shade windows in the summer but admit sun in the winter when the sun is lower in the sky. a Pedestrian Shelter Building exteriors shall provide pedestrians shelter from the sun, rain and snow. Awnings, entry porticos, arcades and overhanging eaves are particularly appropriate at pedestrian pathways. Garden structures such as trellises and arbors (with, or without vines) shall be used to shade pedestrian routes and seating areas. 3. OTHER STRUCTURES a Service Areas / Page 9 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT Service areas are places where truck loading takes place, refuse is stored or mechanical equipment is mounted. Service areas must be located away from and screened from view of streets, parks, plazas and landscaped walkways. Appropriate screening strategies include vine-covered walls or fences, trellises, arcades, dense landscaping reaching a height of six feet or some combination thereof. Where service areas cannot be avoided along a street, park or plaza, they must be recessed within a building's envelope. a Fences and Walls Walls and fences within view of streets, parks or plazas must be constructed out of attractive, long-lasting materials, such as wood, wrought iron, masonry or stone. Chain link and wire fencing must not be used. Walls and fences must not exceed 42 inches in height within 20 feet of streets, parks, and plazas. 4. LIGHTING a BoIlards Lighting bollards are recommended for illuminating pedestrian walkways, parks and plazas. Lighting bollards must have a black metal fmish. Bollards must have a diameter of approximately eight inches and a height of at least three feet, to avoid being obstructed by snow. Around the light source near the top of the bollard, horizontal louvers must be used to stylistically complement the luminaries and direct light downward. Concrete fmishes shall not be used for lighting bollards. a Submittal Requirements and Design Review Page 10 2.04 DEVELOPMENT THEME DRAFT A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for design review. All lighting and their methods of installation shall be reviewed and approved by the City. Each owner/tenant will be responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation oflights on private property. Owner/Tenant shall submit three (3) sets of professionally executed sign drawings for approval by the Planning Department. These drawings shall be of a scale of 1/8 inch; one foot or larger, showing light locations, size layout, design, lamp colors and materials. The Owner/Tenant shall meet all City permit and fee requirements for lights prior to installation of any light. Page 11 2.13 PARKING -' a Landscaped Frontages Where parking lots abut streets, a Landscaped Frontage shall be provided on the parcel, adjacent to the sidewalk. Landscaped Frontages are not required when parking lots are sited behind buildings or plazas. a Connecting Walkways a Across Large Parking Lots Parking lots shall not exceed 600 spaces without being segmented by Connecting Walkways, Landscaped Frontages or buildings. a Linking Building Entrances to Sidewalks Where building entries do not abut a street, Connecting Walkways are required to link the building entrance to street sidewalks. This configuration is most likely for larger store tenants who require parking lots in front of building entrances. a Orchard Planting For parking lots, a minimum number of shade trees are required, equivalent to one tree per six parking stalls. Trees in parking lots shall be spread uniformly throughout the parking area. Trees planted along Connecting Walkways and adjacent Landscaped Frontages may also contribute to the one-per-six requirement for parking lots. Trees must be set into a tree well and protected by bollards or tree guards. a Bicycle Parking Bicycle Parking must be provided in easily accessible locations. One bicycle space shall be provided for every 2,000 square feet of building Net Floor Area. Bicycle parking must be visible from storefronts or office building front doors, in order to improve security for parked bicycles. / Page 1 2.14 EXTERIOR LIGHTING The following standards apply to on-site lighting, including lighting of signs, structures, landscaping, plazas, parking and service areas. a Intensity and Direction of Lighting All lighting fIxtures, including spotlights, electrical reflectors and other means of illuminating signs, structures, landscaping, parking, loading and similar areas, shall be focused, directed and arranged to prevent horizontal glare or direct illumination on adjoining property or streets. A sharp cut off must be used to direct light toward walls and landscaping to avoid shining light up into the sky. Indirect illumination of neighboring residential properties or uses by anyon-site lighting shall not exceed OA-foot candles at the property line, as measured horizontally and vertically from the adjacent grade to a height of 14 feet. No mercury vapor utility yard lights or other light fIxtures with high intensity discharge lamps or bulbs, which are not designed to limit or control light direction or which do not shield the light source from view of neighboring residential properties, shall be permitted. a Lamp Color and Consistency Subsequent to the adoption of this ordinance, the City is expected to develop a unified lighting plan for the Andover Station. Lamp types shall be selected to enhance color recognition within three zones: along streets and walkways, within parks and plazas, and within parking lots. Within each of these zones, lamps of similar type and color shall be used, with the conversion of non-conforming existing lamps encouraged over time. a Types of Lighting Applications a Architectural Page I 2.14 EXTERIOR LIGHTING '\ / Accent lighting of architectural features is encouraged to highlight building massing and rhythm as well as enhance the pedestrian environment. Accent lighting shall not be a source of glare, reflected glare or excessive light, especially when viewed from residences and streets, walkways or open spaces. The following standards apply: a Building Entries Building entries with high activity levels shall be illuminated. Appropriate treatments include: bathing entry surfaces and doorways with light, allowing the building interior light to glow through glazing, or using decorative lighting fixtures to announce entries. a Service Areas Building-mounted down light fixtures, in combination with pole fixtures, are / preferred for the illumination of building service areas. Such fIxtures do not cause glare or light leakage beyond the service areas. a Landscaped Frontages Regular up lighting ofwaUs or other structures in Landscaped Frontages shall occur throughout the Andover Station and must be coordinated to create a consistent and dramatic effect. a Landscaping and Furnishing Up lighting is recommended for aU landscaping and furnishings (in both public and private areas) that require accenting (such as specimen trees and shrubs and sculptural features). Specific areas include streets, parks and plazas. a Landscaped Walkways Page 2 2.14 EXTERIOR LIGHTING Landscaped walkways and other pedestrian paths shall be lit by pole or bollard type fIxtures that are human-scale, typically not to exceed sixteen (16) feet or four (4) feet in height, respectively. However, lighting must be at least three (3) feet in height in order to be visible in deep snowdrifts or snow banks. a Seating Areas Where intimate environments are desired (e.g. seating areas in parks and plazas, as well as some pedestrian walkways), light bollards and other forms of indirect illumination are appropriate. a Bollards Lighting bollards are recommended for illuminating pedestrian walkways, parks and plazas. Lighting bollards must have a black metal finish. Bollards must have a diameter of approximately eight inches and a height of at least three feet, to avoid being obstructed by snow. Around the light source near the top of the bollard, horizontal louvers must be used to stylistically complement the luminaries and direct light downward. Concrete finishes shall not be used for lighting bollards. a Submittal Requirements and Design Review A lighting plan prepared by a qualified lighting consultant shall be submitted for design review. All lighting and their methods of installation shall be reviewed and approved by the City. Each owner/tenant will be responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of lights on private property. Owner/Tenant shall submit three (3) sets of professionally executed sign drawings for approval by the Planning Department. These drawings shall be of a scale of 1/8 inch; one foot or larger, showing light locations, size layout, design, Page 3 2.14 EXTERIOR LIGHTING lamp colors and materials. The Owner/Tenant shall meet all City permit and fee requirements for lights prior to installation of any light. Page 4 2.15 LANDSCAPING a Site Planning to Preserve Natural Assets While the network of required streets is fIxed, many site decisions remain for other streets and for buildings. a Views and Vistas Site planning shall recognize the role that street alignment and topography contribute to visual prominence. High points on the land and vistas along common routes provide unique opportunities to site important buildings, building entrances, plazas and monuments. Doing so will add recognizable landmarks that can make the Andover Station a memorable place. a Grading Site planning shall minimize grading when locating streets and buildings. When areas with slopes must be graded, landform-grading techniques shall be used and slopes exceeding 1:3 shall be avoided. Rounded forms that use concave and convex shapes help conceal cuts by presenting a more natural look. Varied slopes also disperse drainage flows, reducing the potential for erosion and allowing more percolation. Concentrating drainage in concave swales also enhances on-site storm water retention and minimizes the need for large detention areas off-site. If required, any retaining walls shall not exceed five (5) feet in height. a Landscaped Frontages A ten-foot wide landscaped buffer must be placed where parking lots abut local and surrounding streets. However, care shall be taken to design and site the buffers such that they do not provide ambush points or obstruct views. a Connecting Walkways Page 1 2.15 LANDSCAPING Connecting walkways must meet the following minimum requirements: a Width and Clearance The width of the paved walking surface must be at least six (6) feet clear. Any covered structure such as trellis must have at least ten (10) feet clear height, but must not obstruct visibility or provide hiding or ambush places. a Paving Connecting walkways must be paved with a special paving or concrete in a pattern or color that contrasts with the surround pavement. a Tree Planting Connecting walkways must be planted with either shade trees spaced thirty (30) feet on center or a shade structure such as a trellis with climbing vines. a Lighting Connecting walkways must be equipped with lighting on one side, at least three (3) feet in height in order to be visible in deep snow drifts or snowbanks. Lighting standards spaced a maximum of thirty-feet apart and a maximum often (10) feet tall are recommended.

Towers may have face and projecting signs, but signs for individual tenants are not permitted. Face signs may not be mounted higher than sixty-five (65) feet above grade. a Gateway Signage for Project Identity and Tenants Project gateways, shown in the Site Plan, are the four most commonly used vehicular entries into the Andover Station. Gateways are marked by wall or trellis treatments on one or both sides of the street. . / a Building Signage .I Page 3 2.17 SIGNAGE .' These signs identify buildings and individual building tenants while respecting the character and human scale of buildings in Andover Station. Signs shall not obscure architectural elements such as pilasters, cornice lines, capping or the edge of openings. Limits on number and size of signs are shown in the attached table. Building signs serve several purposes and may take several formats. a Building Sign Purposes a Signs for building identification announce the building, either with a street address name (for example, 100 Andover Station Drive) or a building name (for example, The Birch Building). Building identification signs are usually placed at the top of the building or over major entrances. a Signs for individual ground-level tenants. a Signs for shared-entry tenants address conditions in which multiple tenants share a building entry and an exterior identity, or when upper-story tenants share a ground-level entry. a Additional minor, pedestrian-oriented signage for individual tenants. a Building Sign Formats a Building Face Signage lies against the plane of the building and is integrated into building details along cornices, base treatments, entrances or centered within building recesses. a Projecting or hanging signs are panels perpendicular to and projecting from a fa~ade to identify a business tenant.
