; <br />Mounds View Animal Hospital Dev. Review <br />August 15, 2001 <br />Page 4 <br />Seciion 1103.08 Subd. 6(a). While staffwould prefer a more natural buffer, the drawback is <br />that it would take years to fully screen the parking area when a fence would provide for <br />immediate screening. In this case, input from adjacent residents would be helpful. <br />Buildinq Exterior <br />The building exhibits an aesthetically pleasing, context-sensitive residential appearance. <br />Materials to be used include brick on the lower portion of the walls, vinyl siding on the <br />remainder of the wall, and steel panel roofing. Elevation drawings wil{ be available #or <br />viewing at the meeting on August 15. <br />Sinae <br />The applicants are proposing two wal! signs and one ground sign for their facility. The <br />ground sign will consist of 200 square feet and be located on the southern portion of the <br />property, approximately twenty (20) feet from the property line. The sign meets the <br />maximum allowed sign area of 200 square feet and meets the setback requirement of <br />fifteen (15} feet. � <br />The two wall signs will be located on the southwest and southeast sides of the building, <br />respectively. The efevation drawings show the location of the signs, but do not show the <br />size of fhe signs. Each sign may be a maximum of 1 QD square feet in area. The applicants <br />,� should address the sign area at the meeting. _ <br />Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission should review the issues presented in this report and consider <br />the impacts to adjoining properties and the community as a whole. If the Planning <br />Commission believes it has received sufficient information from staff, residents and the <br />applicant, it may act on Resolution 670-01, a resolution recommending approval of the <br />development review for the Mounds View Animal Hospital. If the Planning Commission <br />feels that the applicants have not adequately addressed these issues, they should table <br />the review until the next meeting to allow the ap{�licants time to provide more information to <br />satisfy the Commission. � <br />Jim Atkinson <br />Planning Associate <br />Attachments: <br />1.
