----- One light pole and fixture have bccn proposed for the uscd oil and HHW collection site. . While specifics on the lighting were not included in the application materials, the lighting should comply with Arden Hills' ordinances and be hooded so that the light is only directed onto the subject property and directed away from adjoining lots or public streets. Another recommendation would be that the new light pole should match existing lighting on site to maintain a consistent character for the property. Any new lighting should also be rcviewed by the Building Official for approval. 11. Signage - Sign age plans not included in application materials While the elevations and renderings do show some signage, no signagc has been proposed with this application. Signage for this project would be processed through a Signage Permit and would need to bc within the maximum allowed signage in Signage District 6 (Signage Ordinance, Section 333.6, f) which allows for a maximum of 60 square feet of wall signage, 45 square fect of freestanding signage with a maximum height of 12 feet, and 6 square feet of wall mow1ted auxiliary signage and 6 square feet of freestanding auxiliary signage both with a maximum height of 6 feet. It is quite possible that the additional auxiliary signage necessary to direct people to the used oil and HHW site combined with any existing auxiliary signage would exceed the maximum allowed under the Sign Ordinance and would therefore require a Sign Standard Adjustment. There may bc some merit for a sign standard adjustment for auxiliary signage due to the size . of the property, the location of the propcrty, and the many potential users of the property. Following is the section of the Sign Ordinancc which discusses Sign Standard Adjustments: (Ordinance 333, Section 333.11) Sign Standard Adiustments. Adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number, type, lighting, area, or location of a sign or signs established by this ordinance may be approyed through the Site Plan Review process if the following qualifYing criteria of A of B, and the necessary criteria of C, are met: A. There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site; Or B. The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional dcsign or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site; And, after finding positively on condition A or B above, C. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located. The applicant should provide staff with the dimensions for existing auxiliary signage as well as any proposed auxiliary signage for the uscd oil and HHW site. \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2004\04-19 RCPWF SUP Amendment Oil drop site and HHW (PENDING)\OI-05-05 PC Report RCPWl-" SUP . 2nd Amendment.doc Page 60f9
