City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 25, 2011 Page 7 1 Planning Commissioner Jensen presented the proposed request for an amendment to the St. 2 Anthony Shopping Center PUD to allow for updates and renovation. Planning Commissioner 3 Jensen provided the staff report along with letters from the applicant. The elevations are 4 accurate. Planning Commissioner Jensen provided a sketch. A public hearing was held and no 5 one appeared to address the Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of 6 the amendments to the St. Anthony Shopping Center PUD to allow for planned renovations and 7 the sign plan to allow for the modification of existing wall signs. 9 Mayor Faust asked if the monument signs were discussed. Planning Commissioner Jensen stated 10 the sign at Kensington was discussed and there was not a request to put it in a non - conforming 11 condition. 12 13 Councilmember Jenson asked exactly what are they requesting. Mr. Greg Cotulla, Cotulla & 14 Associates, appeared before the City Council on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Cotulla stated they 15 are attempting to get larger signage visible from County Road 88. They are requesting to 16 increase the size from 2 square feet to 3 square feet. 17 18 Mayor Faust asked about the monument. Mr. Cotulla stated they would like to consider a second 19 sign to the property, possibly a ground sign. The sign has not yet been designed and it is not the 20 owner's intent to construct one that this time. 21 22 Councilmember Stille asked why the owner wouldn't be putting the sign in now. Mr. Cotulla 23 stated it is not part of the current plan. 24 25 Councilmember Roth questioned the awning. Mr. Cotulla stated they are proposing to remove 26 the canopy and replace with an awning that provides more daylight in the retail stores. The 27 awning is more current architecturally, would be canvas, and would last approximately 10 years. 28 Councilmember Roth asked if they were permanent canvas or rolled up. Mr. Cotulla stated they 29 would be permanent. Councilmember Roth asked if the current tenants are in favor of new 30 signage. Mr. Cotulla stated the current tenants have the option of putting up new signage at that 31 time and new tenants would be required to put up a backlit sign. 32 33 Mayor Faust asked if streetlights along the sidewalks would be installed. Mr. Cotulla stated they 34 are currently bidding streetlights and the parking lot lights would be replaced with LED fixtures. 35 36 Councilmember Roth asked if the location of the pergolas was determined. Mr. Kozulla stated 37 they have presented the drawings to as many tenants as possible and none mentioned not wanting 38 a pergola in front of their store. 39 40 Councilmember Stille asked what made them go with the acorn streetlights rather than the domus 41 style. Mr. Kozulla answered it was the architectural preference. 42 43 Mayor Faust referred to the monument proposed for the future and indicated he is somewhat 44 resistant, not knowing what it would be. Mr. Kozulla stated the monument would need to 45 comply with the zoning code. Mayor Faust expressed concern related to sight lines and because 46 a large sign may impede sight at the intersection.
