ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—MAY 29, 2018 13 <br /> City Planner Bachler reviewed an aerial of the property and noted the right-of-way available <br /> was County property. He explained the City would have to receive approval from the County to <br /> place a gateway sign within the right-of-way. He reported he would have to investigate this <br /> matter further before determining where a gateway sign could be located. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked where the Primrose monument sign would be located. <br /> City Planner Bachler clarified Primrose would not be pursuing a monument sign, but rather <br /> would be repurposing the existing pylon sign. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned if the Council could ask the applicant to move their pylon sign further <br /> to the south to make room for a gateway sign. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik advised the Council could make this request. <br /> Councilmember McClung inquired how precise a condition had to be worded and questioned if <br /> relocation of the pylon sign to the south in coordination with City staff would be sufficient. <br /> City Attorney Jamnik stated it would be best if the City knew the footprint for the easement on <br /> this corner for a gateway sign and where the pylon sign would be relocated. <br /> Councilmember McClung asked how much square footage the City would need for a gateway <br /> sign on this corner. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned what the approval timeline was for this Planning Case. <br /> City Planner Bachler stated the 60-day review deadline was June 22. He explained he would <br /> need to report back to the Council with more information on the approximate easement area <br /> along with the proposed size for this gateway sign. <br /> Mayor Grant believed the gateway sign at this corner should be rather sizeable, like the gateway <br /> sign on the triangle property with proper landscaping. <br /> Councilmember McClung agreed and stated he would like to see the Council review this matter <br /> further. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned what the timeframe was for the applicant to complete this <br /> project. <br /> Mr. McKinney explained he would be revising his construction plans in order to address the fire <br /> lane concerns and was hoping to apply for a building permit as soon as possible in order to begin <br /> construction yet this summer. He asked that he be allowed to work with staff in order to <br /> determine a proper location for the gateway and pylon signs. He indicated he would be more <br /> than happy to speak with the franchisee about a name change. <br />
