The Arden Hills Sign Code requires freestanding signs in Sign Districts 4 and 5 to be monument <br />type ground signs with the copy resting on and supported by a solid base of brick or rock -faced <br />block in a color similar to or complimentary to the main structure on the site. The material of the <br />base must extend at least one-half way up the sides of the sign face. The Applicant is seeking <br />flexibility on this provision as the base does not extend up the side of the sign face on the proposed <br />sign. <br />Other design standards in evaluation of the proposed freestanding sign are that the total area of a <br />freestanding sign shall not exceed 1.5 times the permitted sign copy area of a freestanding sign. <br />The total area of the proposed sign is 75 square feet, 1.5 time the permitted sign copy area of 50 <br />square feet. Lastly, the freestanding sign will be externally lit using ground lighting, as permitted <br />by Sign District 4. <br />Proposed Freestanding Sign <br />loft -Din <br />120 in <br />SCALE:112" = F <br />C. Directional Signs — Complies with Requirements <br />$ i <br />The Applicant is proposing one (1) directional sign <br />in compliance with Chapter 12 — Sign Code of the <br />Arden Hills City Code. As stated in the application, <br />the directional sign will direct visitors to either the <br />delivery area or the main entrance. According to the <br />Applicant, this is necessary because the loading/off- <br />loading area is located at the back of the building, <br />and the directional sign is placed at the point at <br />which truck deliveries need to be notified to turn. It <br />will also help quickly identify the main entrance for <br />family visitors as well as emergency services. <br />�_,o"4 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />
