The 3 applicant will not require more.sign surface area than what is allowable by the City's wall sign 4 ordinance. 5 Chair Bergstrom questioned if the road access extension of 39th Avenue on the,south side of 6 these buildings was actually a City street. If it was not, a variance may also be required for that 7 signage. 8 City Manager Morrison noted that 39th Avenue does end into Apache Plaza and then becomes a 9 private road. 10 Lee Stedman, Realty Development Advisors, LLC, displayed an illustration of the site plan of 11 the proposal. The building will be 8,500 square feet. The site will include 96 parking stalls, 92 12 stalls are required by City Code. He reported he is currently negotiating with two tenants, a 13 nationally recognized bagel store and a nationally recognized video store, for the space. The site 14 includes a drive-up lane which will be used for quick service. He is currently negotiating with 15 First Bank to provide a cross access to improve the traffic flow on the site. He noted the location 16 of the monument sign which will have a 40 square foot face. 17 Chair Bergstrom asked if this drawing was different than the drawing provided in the 18 Commissioner's packet. 19 Mr. Stedman noted the business locations had been reversed. 20 Jay Scott, OPUS Corporation, explained part of the Redevelopment Agreement for Apache Plaza 21 was an Restricted Easement Agreement(REA)between First Bank, Opus and Ste. Mane Co. 22 which placed various site line restrictions on the balance of the property which.included this lot. 23 These restrictions include building height, size and building envelope. One problem with this 24 development was that the proposed building envelope location was 130 feet from 39th Avenue. 25 This location has been approved by SuperValu but not by Herbergers. Due to this, the building 26 has been shifted 17 feet to the north. This location will meet all the requirements of the REA and 27 the City Codes. The configuration and the elevations will remain the same. If Herbergers does 28 agree to the previous location of the building envelope,the building will be shifted back to the 29 south. . 30 Commissioner Gondorchin asked if the building impacted the sight line of CUB Foods Store. 31 Mr. Scott stated CUB Foods Store has approved both plans. 32 Mr. Stedman illustrated the elevation of the proposal, noting it will include earth tones. He 33 stated the sign bands will include individually lit letters.
