City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for January 9, 2017 Page 11 of 17 Two wall signs are proposed for the bank building each measuring 35.17 square feet for a total of 70.34 square feet of wall signage. Flexibility is requested through the PUD process for additional signage on this building. Commercial Building Wall Signage The multi-tenant commercial building has wall signage for each tenant proposed for the front of the building. Each tenant wall sign would measure 17’-8” in length and two (2) feet in height for an area of 35.33 square feet. The Sign Code allows each tenant to have the 60 square feet of signage. Daycare Building Wall Signage Wall signage for the future daycare building will be evaluated at the time a Final PUD application is submitted for this phase. Freestanding Signage There is an existing freestanding pole sign for the Bremer Bank located at the corner of Lexington Avenue and County Road F on the proposed Lot 1. This sign is proposed by the applicant to remain in place as part of the redevelopment. Two additional multi-tenant monument signs are also proposed adjacent to the County Road F and Lexington Avenue entrances. Each monument sign would be eight (8) feet in height and 12’-4” in length. The sign area is ten (10) feet by five (5) feet, totaling fifty (50) square feet. Both signs meet all setback requirements. The Sign Code limits the freestanding signage to 45 square feet. The Planning Commission recommends through the flexibility allowed within a PUD to allow the freestanding signage have up to 50 square feet of signage each. 4. Chapter 11, Subdivision Code A. Park Dedication Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Code (Public Use Dedications) states that the City may require as a condition of approval for a Planned Unit Development the dedication of land, or payment in lieu, and park improvement fees if it is determined the project will result in an increased demand for park land or improvements. In establishing the amount required the City is to take into consideration previous payments or dedications for park purposes. The PUD is not anticipated to result in increased demand for park land or improvements. The daycare building will provide its own space for children receiving care to play. The nearest Arden Hills park, Cummings Park, is about ½ mile away making it unlikely that the children would walk to the park. Thus, staff is recommending that park dedication not be required for this project. 5. Traffic Study
