MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 12, 2005 Knudsen asked if the height was the primary issue with the pylon sign. The Planner reported that the existing town office developments have lower signs. The City's Architectural Guidelines indicate a preference for monument-style signage for this type of development. Socha asked the height of the existing town office monument signs. The Planner estimated that heights range from 6 to ] 0 feet. It was estimated that this monument sign would be 9 feet in heighC. Duray commented that he preferred the monument-style version of the sign presented by DuBay this evening. Duray felt that it fit the character of the development and the area better than the pylon sign. Duray asked if the sign would be internally lit. DuBay responded that the sign would not be internally lit, but would have low voltage flood lights shining on the sign. He pointed out that most of the businesses are only open during normal business hours; therefore, there was little need for the sign to be noticeable in the evening. Wojcik asked what information would be shown on the sign. DuBay responded that the sign look like the diagram presented. There had been some discussion about displaying business names on the sign; however, the town office association decided against that. The only information that might be added would be the phone number of the management company. Rheaume asked about sign colors. DuBay indicated that the sign would be as close to the colors displayed in the diagram as possible. It was also noted that the location proposed met the City's setback requirements. Sign size also complies with Code. Duray recommended approval of the Architectural Review and Final PUD Permit to add amonument-style sign to the Edgewater Town Office Park as presented Chis evening by Mr. Tony DuBay, subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated May 6, 2005, subject to a nine (9) foot maximum height of the monument sign, and subject to compliance with Code requirements for sign size and setbacks.
