2.4 The two existing overall center pylons will be replaced with new pylons of the same height and width as the existing signs. The sign along Larpenteur Avenue will be o feet in height and 19 feet in width and the sign along Lexington Avenue will be b feet in height and 17 feet in width. Both signs will have broken block base planters with pin mounted painted metal letters identifying Roseville Center and a painted metal cap. The signs will be constructed of backlit l arlwall glazing panels with translucent acrylic letters and an architectural treatment on the top of the signs which reflects the design on top of the center tower on the building. The new pylon signs will be placed in the same general location as the existing signs. The building sig nape for individual tenants will be upgraded as leases are renewed and/or renegotiated, in accordance with the sign criteria established by Bradley Real Estate In addition, the roof sign for Snyder Drug will be removed in conjunction with the proposed improvements, and the Big Wheel Rossi free-standing sign will be removed when the lease for this tenant is renewed and/or renegotiated. A separate pylon sign formerly used by Fina Petroleum will not be replaced; Taco Bell signage will be included on the Center identification signs. 2.5 Improvement to the corner site include the construction of a 2,150 square foot/50 seat Taco Bell Restaurant will a drive-through. The drive-through will be lowered and a decorative retaining wall will be placed around the drive-through to create a physical and visual barrier between vehicles on the site and pedestrians on the sidewalk. The street side of this wall will be finished with materials identified for use in the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape improvements, which have not yet been finalized. The drive-through and building have also been moved to the north and crest in order to create an additional 10 feet of public space along Lexington Avenue and an additional five feet of public space along Larpenteur Avenue. This area will be sodded initially, with Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape elements and landscaping being installed in conjunction with the Larpenteur Avenue reconstruction project in 1 999-2000. The facade of the building will reflect the materials and colors used in the facade of the Center. The principal material will be brick, with a broken block base, an accent strip to match the base/arches, painted metal awnings, painted metal window frames, and a painted metal cap. The four arches will be of a stucco/EFIS product i n order to maintain the Taco Bell identity; however, the painted metal awnings, painted metal cap, and accent strip will visually tie the arches to the rest of the building. Efforts are still being made to provide direct pedestrian access to the front of the building (west side) from both Lexington Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue. The detached trash enclosure will be constructed of materials similar to the p rincipal building, be roofed, and be heavily landscaped. 2.7 The site formerly occupied by Margolis Nursery is proposed to be used as a separate pad for a future, yet-unidentified retail or service tenant. In general, permitted uses would be those uses allowed as permitted in an SC zoning district, uses only allowed as conditional use in SC zoning district would require modification to PUD agreement, and uses not allowed in SC zoning district would be prohibited. Uses requiring no additional City action and specific prohibited uses have also identifed, as has the need for a buffer zone on the north edge of the parcel. PF#2963- RCA(02/09/98) - Page 3 of 7
