<br />There is one existing monument sign at the entrance. The applicant is not requesting any <br />changes to the monument sign. <br /> <br />Findinl!:s of Fact <br /> <br />The Planning Commission offers the following eleven findings of fact for review: <br /> <br />1. The property is located in sign district seven and the I-Flex Zoning District. <br />2. The health care clinic is a conforming use in the I-Flex Zoning District. <br />3. The total wall sign area for a building in sign district seven is 45 square feet. <br />4. The building has one existing wall sign that is 188.3 square feet. The existing sign is <br />on the rear side ofthe building facing Interstate 694. The existing sign is illuminated. <br />5. The applicant is proposing to install one new sign that is 30 square feet and would be <br />illuminated. The sign would face Interstate 694 on the rear side of the building. <br />6. The sign would not be visible from residential properties. <br />7. The building does not have any wall signage facing Northwoods Drive. <br />8. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviations from the Sign Code through the site <br />plan review process. <br />9. The growing trees in the Interstate 694 right-of-way has made the existing sign less <br />viable from the roadway. The property is adjacent to 1-694, and to be reasonably <br />viewable from 1-694, additional signage is warranted. The frontage on 1-694 makes <br />this property unique compared to other properties in sign district seven, and signs do <br />need to be larger to be legible from 1-694. <br />10. The proposed sign is for a conforming use in the I-Flex Zone. <br />11. The sign would not have a negative impact on adjacent properties or the City as a <br />whole. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 07-017 and recommends approval (6-0) of <br />the Site Plan Review based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans as amended by the <br />following two conditions: <br />1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted. Any significant <br />changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and <br />approval by the Planning Commission. <br />2. The applicant shall obtain a sign permit prior to installing the sign. <br /> <br />Options <br /> <br />1. Approve the proposal as submitted. <br />2. Approve the proposal with conditions. <br /> <br />\\Metro~inet.us\ardenhi//s\Planning\Planning Cases\2007107-017 Health Partners Site Plan Review (PC APPROVAL)1073007 - CC Report- <br />Health Partners Site Plan Review.doc <br /> <br />Page 2 00 <br />
