MOUNTAIN AVENUE | 02.19.25 SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS ITEM 5, APPLICANT PRESENTATION Supplemental Documents 3 Project Summary The proposed project is a new two story building that will serve as interior enhancements to the Armory and a secondary office tenant. The office tenant is undetermined at this time. The construction will include a basement level. One of the main drivers of the project is to provide an ADA green room for performers and an expanded bar space to serve patrons during concerts and events. Building Size Overall, the building is a very small footprint of 3,650 sf and the entire project consists of 11,000 sf. Existing Conditions The existing site contained a one story building that previously housed an independent movie theater. It was deemed non-historic and it was demolished in the summer of 2024. The site currently contains no structures and is covered in gravel. Parking Parking is provided with existing on-street parking and the adjacent Firehouse Parking Garage. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Site Plan The site is a very small lot at 3,650 sf. The building occupies the entire lot from property line to property line. Insets are created at the main entry and ticket window to create covered areas for people during inclement weather. The sidewalk will be updated along Chestnut and Mountain Avenue as we anticipate damage to the sidewalk concrete during construction. The Chestnut sidewalk will mirror characteristics of the new adjacent alley by the DDA. The existing trees are planned to remain and will be protected during construction. Architecture The proposed two story building has an architectural style and of the adjacent Armory Building (1907). The building is clad in full depth brick, High Pressure Laminate accent panel (HPL), metal panel, and storefront glass. The gentle arch of the cornice of the building is meant to create a transition of height from the two story Armory to the adjacent 5 story buildings that surround the proposed building. 300 E.

New construction shall be similar in width or, if larger, be articulated into massing reflective or the mass and scale of historic resources on the development site, abutting, or across a side alley. 2. Stepbacks must be located on new buildings to create gradual massing transitions at the same height or one story above the height of historic resources on the development site, abutting or across a side alley. Response to #1. The proposed massing of the building is to compliment and acknowledge the two story Armory Building. The building is zoned for four stories and the team strategically selected two stories to be mindful of the existing Armory Building. Response to #2. No stepbacks are provided since the proposed building is the same height as the historic resource. 300 E. MOUNTAIN AVENUE | 02.19.25 22 SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS ITEM 5, APPLICANT PRESENTATION Supplemental Documents 22 Response to #3. Since the building is only 2 stories, no stepbacks are proposed on the facades of the building. The roof screen is off set from the edge of the building to minimize the view from the street. Response to #4. Nominal size grey/brown brick is used throughout the elevations of the proposed building. The scale of the proposed brick matches the scale of the brick on the Armory. Brick details of soldier courses, headers and vertical running stack bond will be used as details on the brickwork.

The lower story facades until any step-backs (required or otherwise) must be constructed of authentic, durable, high-quality materials (brick, stone, glass, terra cotta, stucco (non EFIS), precast concrete, wood, cast iron, architectural metal) installed to industry standards. 4. New construction shall reference one or more of the predominate material(s) on historic resources on the development site, abutting, or across a side alley, by using at least two of the following to select the primary material(s) for any one to three story building or the lower story facades until any step-backs. Type, scale, color, 3D texture, pattern. DESIGN TEAM APPROACHBUILDING MATERIALS MATERIAL PALETTE WITH ARMORY BRICK 300 E.

We utilized the window proportion and spacing for a portion of the proposed building. This solid and void pattern was used on the portion of the building next to the -- LAND USE CODE 5.8.1 (FORMER 3.4.7) 5. Use at least one of the following: 1) Similar window pattern 2) Similar window proportion of height to width 3)Similar solid-to-void pattern as found on historic resources on the development site, abutting, or across a side alley. DESIGN TEAM APPROACHFAÇADE DETAILS - 300 E. MOUNTAIN AVENUE | 02.19.25 24 SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENTS ITEM 5, APPLICANT PRESENTATION Supplemental Documents 24 Response to #6. The benefit of the finish floors aligning within the building, is that windows and massing lines can align is strategic locations. The cornice of the proposed building sits slightly lower to give the Armory prominence on the elevation. Window heads and sills align to create a cohesive solid and void pattern along the façade. LAND USE CODE 5.8.1 (FORMER 3.4.7) 6. Use select horizontal or vertical reference lines or elements (such as rooflines, cornices, and belt courses) to relate the new construction to historic resources on the development site, abutting or across a side alley.

The primary façade facing Mountain Avenue will remain in full view and will not be covered up by the proposed building. The west elevation will be covered by a two story new building, but that side of the Armory has no contributing historical client has hired a mason to fix holes in the existing brick wall. Matching brick was selected to replace areas that were damaged or in need of repair. LAND USE CODE 5.8.1 (FORMER 3.4.7) 300 E. MOUNTAIN AVENUE | 02.19.25 7.
