Planning Case #99-10, Bethel College, Site Plan Review Ms. Randall explained that the Petitioner was requesting approval of a Site Plan for Bethel College, located at 3900 Bethel Drive, to allow a gate at the east entrance and monument fence with sign at the west entrance. The approved Master Plan shows a gate/monument at the east and west entrances. The location of the proposed monument gate and sign at the west entrance was in the approximate location as shown on the Master Plan. The location of the proposed gate at the east entrance was moved closer to Highway 51 than shown on the Master Plan, in order to incorporate the section of road leading to the parking lot to the south of the entrance. At the time the Master Plan was approved, renderings of the monument gate and sign were made and the proposed gate and sign are similar to those renderings. The applicant is proposing to remove the two existing signs at this entrance and construct one new sign. The sign is proposed to be 68 square feet and setback the required 20 feet from the property line. The monument fence is proposed to be six feet in height with eight-foot posts with light fixtures on top. The light fixtures will mimic those already on campus, with a softer bulb due to the location. The fixtures were designed to be more decorative than functional. The applicant has stated that the lights will comply with the lighting standards of the Zoning Ordinance. e
