oriented to have walking paths between them and connecting to a common path system in the PUD. Lighting, done by Lumec, will be a lower height of 14 %x' with the cone covering the bulb so it isn't visible and light does not trespass off the site. There is a berm around site, and cars and lighting would be hidden behind the berm. The Council discussed the conditions, stated in the City Planner's staff report, requiring the applicant to modify the proposed plan as follows: 1. The applicant shall comply with the PUD Master Sign Plan Wildwood Lodge will have a gable sign, internally lit, front gable as well as north gable. The Machine Shed restaurant sign is their trademark, and the sign matches the building and oriented close to the building. There will be one sign for the Machine Shed restaurant instead of having two signs on the site for the restaurant and hotel. Do away with the pylon signs with exchange for two signs on Wildwood Lodge. The structure, which looks like a grain elevator, will store lawn maintenance equipment. Siedow: looks good, less obtrusive than a pylon sign Dunn: pylon signs out totally. Hunt: wonderful concept, shows corporate image and is attractive. Agrees with this type of signage. Armstrong: No pylon sign. Wouldn't want to see sign on top of the berm. Kirk Whalen: Their proposal for the sign is at the intersection of the off -ramp and Inwood Avenue and on the berm. They could scale it down to meet intent of the ordinance. DeLapp: We already made concessions by having a PUD, and we should stick with the code. Pylon signs are inappropriate Agreement 4-1: DeLapp The sign that looks like a small grain elevator will be scaled down to meet requirements of the code and not placed on top of the berm. 2. Compliance with BP district standards for exterior structure surfaces, but with a finding that the stone type surfacing proposed does meet the equivalent test of the City Code. DeLapp saw real stone on the buildings in Peewaukee, WI. He prefers real stone... it is not just for appearance. The applicant should follow standards in the code, which require brick, stone, glass or equivalent. Kirk Whalen likes the uniformity of the culture stone. It doesn't have any flaws and weathers as well as real stone. Armstrong felt it inappropriate to put the batten on. Would approve of cultured brick with the requirement of the building being 85% brick. There should be continuity exterior structure surface between all buildings. Whalen explained the batten is for accents. The Machine Shed is dedicated to the farmer and board and batten made up farm residences. Hunt would accept the construction materials as shown up to 15% of the building surface area made of board and battan, excluding cupola and canopy. Dunn had no problem with equivalent. Wood has to be well maintained. Crosshatch blended in well. Siedow: no problem with brick and wood. Agreement 3-1-1: Armstrong, DeLapp, 85% cultured stone as shown on plan with 15% board and batten No. 3. Modification of the site plan to increase the amount of parking lot landscape: Whalen stated they would adhere to the code. No. 4 Whalen stated they have done the substitution of the sliding scale of the value of landscaping improvements required in Chapter 520. No. 5 Adhere to Lighting Requirements in Chapter 1350. The Council will discuss this later. The Council discussed the eight Conditions of Approval in the Planning Commission's recommendation. 1. Compliance with requirements as specified in Tom Prew's letter of August 3,1999. Tom Prow requested that we begin the process of construction of our own well and water storage reservoir because our agreement with Oakdale for water service could be terminated in the near future.
