Dairy Queen April 12, 2000 page 2 • Building The building footprint is 1655 sf (roughly 40 x 40). The proposed elevations originally submitted showed predominantly corrugated metal panels with red glazed brick around the foundation. The City does not allow metal panels to comprise more than 50% of the entire building (all elevations). On elevations facing a street, metal panels may not exceed 20% of the wall surface. (Sec. 3 Subd. 4.B.1. of the zoning ordinance.) The applicant's architect submitted revised elevations on April 4. The new elevations show EFIS rather than metal panels. EFIS is a simulated stucco, which is acceptable. The building's tallest point will be 18 ft., though the proposed sign will be 19+ ft. The north elevation will include 26 ft of glass windows at the pedestrian level. The west elevation, facing 21st Ave., will include one door and the drive - through pickup window. The south elevation will include a fenced in area for the cooler /freezer. The fence material will be painted cedar. The east elevation, facing the parking lot, will include a double door and 20+ ft of windows. The trash will be enclosed in the southeast corner of the parking lot. The fencing material will be painted cedar. • Lighting Light fixture locations in the parking lot are shown on submitted plans. Building and site lighting should be addressed with a photometric showing site lighting intensity. Lighting must not exceed one foot candle at the street center lines. Lot lighting must be directed downward and not up into the night sky. • Signage Signage is governed by the City's sign ordinance. Sign permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. A preliminary look raises a concern regarding the number of signs. One building sign is allowed totaling 20% of the building face area. The building elevations show signs on three sides of the building in addition to the larger building sign with the Dairy Queen name and ice cream cone. Any pylon sign must be five feet from the lot lines and there is a size maximum. The revised landscaping plan shows plantings instead of a pylon sign. This must be clarified. • Landscaping The original landscaping plan included a very minimal amount of plantings. We received a revised landscaping plan April 4. Though there are numerous trees added, staff will work with the applicant to improve the plan.
