City Council Resolution No. 5042 4r) November 25, 1996 Page 3 Hills Spruce along the north property line of the added site area which matches the existing site. The frontage along Highway 10 will be sodded as is the existing site. C. Lighting and Signage (Section 1114.04, Subd. 2.h., 3.g., 8.h., 2.d., 3.j. 2.j., 3.m., 8.k.) The applicant is proposing to install additional light standards on the expanded site area which are the same style as the existing light standards, and they will be located in a similar pattern. The original plans submitted for this development included a detail of the light fixtures which are shielded in compliance with the ordinance. The light standards will be in landscaped areas and not in the parking lot. Signage is proposed as follows: • 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. Existing signage on the site complies with the City Sign Code. The applicant has applied for a variance in sign regulations to allow the two additional monument signs (Planning Case No. 468-96). D. Drainage (Section 1114.04 Subd. 2.g., 3.e., 8.f.) This conditional use permit combines two existing, developed commercial sites. The reconstruction of the parking lot on the Citgo site and the building addition may cause more storm water to flow to County Road H2, and may exceed the capacity of the storm sewer in this road. A condition on this approval requires the applicant to comply with any requirements from the City Engineer on the direction of storm drainage to County Road H2 and Highway 10, prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. The applicant is also being required to obtain a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District. 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.
