This document is to serve as the letter describing the proposed development indicated on the attached site plan drawing. Please review the attached information. We have worked to answer the specific requirements of the eight required conditions as well as designed to meet City Of Beaumont Ordinances. The proposed development is an Outpatient based Family Clinic and Medical Office Building. The building will house Diagnostic Imaging Services (MRI, X-ray, Mammography, Ultrasound) and Physician Clinic space, including exam and treatment space as well as required support spaces and physician office space. The proposed development will not provide Emergency Room Services or Surgical Services normally found in a hospital. The program calls for the building to be single story and of approximately 15,000 square feet. We anticipate the majority of the exterior of the building to be masonry clad with some stucco or EIFS finishes on the trim and soffit sections. The facility will be designed for Business Occupancy and therefore will be of Type V Construction, or upgraded as required by the building code. The final design will be developed to complement and enhance the architectural nature of the surrounding properties. The parking areas will be paved and the entire site will have appropriate exterior lighting for access and security. The project will be designed for full handicap accessibility as required by the local and state codes, including parking, sidewalks, entry to the building and the public areas of the building. We understand the proposed development meets the eight specific requirements of Section 30-26E of the Zoning Ordinance as follows: The proposed development will be compatible with development currently underway on adjoining land. The use will enhance property values in the immediate area by providing medical services to businesses and residential land owners in the vicinity. The establishment of the specific use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant land. The physical location of the proposed development does not block access to surrounding land for development. Nor are proposed services within the development intended to impede orderly development of surrounding Sterling Barnett Little, Inc. 1000 Ballpark Way, Ste 208 Arlington, Tx 76011 817-795-2103 Local 817-461-1352 Metro 817-461-1362 Fax land. Utilities are adjacent to the proposed development and are believed to be adequate. Access roads are convenient to the site, drainage from this tract will be designed such that it is incorporated into the drainage plan for the surrounding development. All necessary supporting services (roads, parking, and utilities) will be provided. The design of the parking and roads meets City of Beaumont standards for width of roads and parking space dimensions and is intended to provide safe convenient movement into, through and around the proposed development. A fire lane will be provided around the building for safe operation of City vehicles (fire and emergency). The nature of the proposed facility is such that it will not generate offensive odors, fumes, dust, noise or vibration. Directional parking lot lighting will be provided such that light pollution will not occur to disturb or adversely effect neighboring properties. Small accent lighting will be used at ground level to highlight the building. Lighted signage will be incorporated. Landscaping has been designed to meet City of Beaumont standards for buffer zones at the front and side yards. Trees meeting City of Beaumont Class A and Class B standards are planned along the buffer zones at the side and rear yards. The proposed development is located within an area Zoned GC- MD2 and meets the requirements of this zoning. Sincerely, Staging Barnett Little, Inc. A�&4 K, Ak-� Michael K.
