City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />October 26, 2021 <br />Page 4 <br />5. The proposed monument sign on the bank site is placed and designed to meet City <br />ordinances for size and setback. If an electronic display is desired, the applicants will <br />need to apply for a separate Conditional Use Permit under the applicable code. <br />Staff comment: The final signage plans will be subject to permitting review at the time of <br />construction. No electronic signage is proposed, and wall signage is well below the allowable <br />threshold for the site. <br />8 6. The lighting plan for the proposed bank site is modified to show a zero footcandle light <br />9 intensity at the boundary with the senior residential property to the west. <br />10 Staff comment: The plans have been modified from the original to show between zero and <br />11 0.2 footcandles at the westerly boundary. Staff would continue to advocate for zero <br />12 footcandles along this residential edge. <br />13 <br />14 7. Issues related to grading, drainage and utilities shall be subject to comment and <br />15 recommendation by the City Engineer. <br />16 Staff comment: The City Engineer will review final construction plans for compliance and <br />17 adequacy. <br />18 <br />19 8.

Access -related issues shall be subject to comment and recommendation by the City <br />36 Engineer, as well as Hennepin County and Minneapolis Park Board. <br />37 Staff comment: Hennepin County has indicated via email that the proposed driveway <br />38 location is appropriate. The County also required a potential connection to the property to the <br />39 east, upon a future realignment of access points along Kenzie Terrace. The applicant has <br />40 provided a plan with that option, although any requirement for construction is a future <br />41 consideration only. Final permitting will require County approval. <br />42 <br />43 2.
