Planning Commission Resolution No. 483-96 November 6, 1996 • Page 3 The applicant is proposing two additional monument signs on the site: one at the northernmost driveway on Highway 10 and one at the easternmost driveway on County Road H2. Both of these signs would have the same dimensions as the existing monument sign on Highway 10 (42.7 square feet). The applicant's reason for the additional signage is to better identify driveway entrances and direct customer traffic. The total signage on the site including the new signage would be: • existing pylon sign 10'x 10' on 26'high supports; area= 100 sq.ft. • existing wall sign 23" x 26.5'; area=50.8 sq.ft. • used car sign, ground mounted 8' 6-1/2" x 5'=42.7 sq.ft. • two new ground mounted 8' 6-1/2" x 5'= 85.4 sq.ft. • miscellaneous small directional signs • Total Signage =278.9 sq. ft. Total Permitted = 100 sq. ft. of signage per tenant; 340 sq. ft. pylon sign=440 sq.ft. The signage on the site is well within the total signage area allowed. Square footage has been redistributed to the monument signs from the allowances for tenant and pylon signs. The allowance for the two additional monument signs requires approval of a variance by • •the Planning Commission, which is noted in the conditions on this recommendation of approval. D. Drainage (Section 1114.04 Subd. 2.g., 3.e., 81) This conditional use permit combines two existing, developed commercial sites. Changes in drainage patterns are not anticipated. A condition on this recommendation of approval requires favorable review by the City Engineer prior to forwarding the application to City Council. E. Outdoor Storage, Sales and Service (Section 1114.04 Subd. 3.k., 3.o., 3.p., 8.i.) No outdoor sales or servicing is conducted on this site, other than customers viewing cars in inventory in the parking lot. There are no abutting residential districts, and therefore, the screening requirements do not apply. Sufficient space for car inventory has been provided so it will not infringe on required customer, service and employee parking. F. Accessory Building (Section 1114.04 Subd. 8.j.) The accessory buildings are proposed.
