<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MAY 30, 2000 <br /> <br />D" Klc A.\' reT' <br />, ~L\( i." \i, fOl <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Mayor Probst noted that f11e issue would be tabled until the Council's June 12 regular meeting. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />F. Planning Cases <br /> <br />1. Case #00-22, FairIsaae, 4285 Lexington Avenue (SUP Amendment) <br /> <br />Ms, Chaput explained that f11e applicaJ1t requests approval of aJ1 amendment to their Special Use <br />Permit (SUP) for aJ1 additional monwnent sign at the front of their building along f11e existing <br />private drive. The current sign does not adequately mark f11e property aJ1d, since f11e street is not <br />marked, there is insufficient signage to direct traffic to f11e facility, <br /> <br />The SUP on f11is property, approved in 1996, was originally intended for Control Data. Since <br />this time, the property has been divided up aJ1d Fair Isaac is only a portion of property aJ1d the <br />approved master plm. The overall plaJ1 allowed for signage along Lexington Avenue at f11e same <br />level as it existed in 1996. This limited the property to one pylon sign at f11at location for Control <br />Data. <br /> <br />Fair Isaac currenfly has a pylon sign along Lexington Avenue, directing traffic to its facility. <br />This sign rests on the comer of Lexington aJ1d a private drive. The facility faces f11e private <br />drive. Therefore, the applicmt wishes to put up a sign in front of f11e building so that its location <br />is more recognizable. The sign ordinaJ1ce allows for one freestmding sign for each frontage <br />along a public street. Although f11is is not a public street, it was evaluated according to f11at <br />standard. There are at least two frontages along f11is street, allowing for at least two freestaJ1ding <br />signs. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The proposed sign meets f11e square footage aJ1d height requirements of f11e code. The setbacks <br />were not required to be met wince the sign is not being located along a public right-of-way. <br /> <br />Ms, Chaput stated f11at f11e PlaJlliing Commission recommends approval of PlaJlliing Case 00-22, <br />amendment to the Special Use Permit for Fair Isaac, wif113 conditions. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson moved aJ1d Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a <br />motion to approve PlaJlliing Case #00-22, amendment to f11e Special Use Permit <br />for Fair Isaac, subject to the following conditions: <br /> <br />1.
