, , 6A. Sign age - Clarification needed On wall signage, clarification needed on freestanding sign lighting; meets all other sign requirements. . The plans do not indicate locations of signage for the property. Sign age for the property as permitted by the Sign Ordinance would include the following: Sign age Type of Sign Sign District 8 Regulations Proposed Wall Silmal!e Max Area 30 sf *#30 sf Max Height 14 ft - Lightinl!

Auxiliarv Sign age Wall 6 sf Insufficient data Freestanding 6 sf Insufficient data Max Height Wall 6ft 1-2 ft (of Sign Face) Freestandinl! 6ft 3,5 ft * Sectiou 333.9 of the Sign Ordinance: "In multi-tenant buildings or sites the permitted sign area and sign types, except for permitted freestanding signs, may be installed by each individual business establishment that has exclusive use of some portion of the street or otherwise primary level of the building and direct access to the outside. .. - All 30 units conld have 30 sf of unlit wall signage. . "The applicant's letter states that they are requesting a sign of ]20 square feet which is the total sign mass. The 50 square feet shown above is the area of the sign face, which is what this provision regulates_ ***The plans show PIN mounted letters on a metal panel. The assumption is that these are illuminated channel letters which would be permitted. The sign ordinance does not allow the face of the sign to he backlit in this sign district. #The application is confusing in that it shows Ihe "Typical Address Sign and Light" (sheet A2.2) and also include areas on Ihe walls for "Optional Siguage" (on both sheets A2.] and A2.2). It appears that every unit would have the externally illuminate "Address Sign and Light" and unit owners could purchase the "Optional Signage." While it appears that a unit owner could have both signs and still meet our sign size criteria (total would be about 21 sf), the tolal amount of signage on the building could be 126 sf (on the 6 unit building). Staff recommends a condition in the POO document establishing a comprehensive sign plan for the development (as part of or an addendum to the PUD document) which would place restrictions on the location and design of signage. 7A. AestheticslBuilding Materials ~ Main building material meets requirement, secondary/trim materials are not included as permitted exterior materials, The site layout includes four buildings with 1 and 2-story units slab on grade, The remaining 3 buildings would be 1 and 2-story walkouts. The overall design offhe buildings is supposed to give the impression of a residential townhouse development. Dormers are used above the 1- story units to give the impression of a second floor. The 2-story units include fhe gables where actual windows would bring light into the office condominiums. \\Earth\Planning\Planning Cases\2005\05-12 Arden Hills Office Park - Royal Oaks Realty - PUD, PrcliminalY Plat for Old City Hall & PW Site .
