MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 25, 2018 McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTIONNO. 2018-7-159—APPROVING UP TO $260 TO PURCHASE PLANTS AND MULCH FOR BOYSCO UT BEN BELIN TO CLEAR AND REPLANT A RAINWATER GARDEN ON SEXTANT A VENUE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fischer. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution adopted. CAPITOL VIEW The Associate Planner reported that the City has received a request for SCHOOL directional signage larger than that allowed by code for Northeast Metro SIGNAGE Intermediate School District 916 at 70 County Road B2 West. She explained that with construction of the new building, the school is looking to install one more sign before the upcoming school year begins since there are a few entities housed here. The Associate Planner explained that two signs have already been installed which are "Eastview Academy" on the north elevation and "Gymnasium" on the south elevation. The school preferred to start with these two signs given some of the activities that started this summer. Their request is to install one more sign "Quora Education Center" on the north elevation. The Eastview Academy sign measures 23 square feet and the Gymnasium sign measures 13 square feet. Both of these signs are individual letters installed in the entryway above the glass of the specific entrance to the building. The Quora Education sign measures 31 square feet and will be installed in the same manner. The Associate Planner noted that directional signage is limited to four square feet, and the Public District allows for signage up to 32 square feet. The Associate Planner noted that she reviewed the Gymnasium sign on the south elevation with the City Planner prior to installation and it was his determination that given this sign is not visible to the general public from the right-of-way or parking lot, that it does not count towards the square footage of signage allowed. She explained that the Eastview Academy sign was issued under the Public District regulations, but Northeast Metro is requesting that given the location of the signage being installed above the doorway and that the sign is identifying an entrance for an entity within the building that the Quora Education sign be approved as a Directional/Informational sign. The Associate Planner stated that with the current signage installed, Northeast Metro has zero square feet of signage as directional and 23 square feet of Public District signage already. Staff recommends the City Council discuss the request from 6
