panels with translucent acrylic letters (signs for inside tenants). Kalwall glazing panels are a fiberglass material often used for skylights and walls where a translucent quality is desired. The design of the center tower is intended to reflect the tracery metal and translucent material elements of greenhouse design (as outlined in the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Master Plan). Additional towers with the same design elements may also be placed at either end of the building, depending on the overall cost of improvements. The north side of the building will also be painted with a complementary color. 2.4 Pylon Signage. The two existing overall center pylons will be replaced with new pylons of the same general overall height and width as the existing signs. The new pylon signs will also be placed in the same general location as the existing signs. The signs will be constructed of backlit Kalwall 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. Both signs will have broken block base planters with pin mounted painted metal letters identifying Roseville Center and a painted metal cap. The existing pylon sign along Larpenteur is 30 feet in height, 20 feet in width, and includes five sign panels with a total sign area of 320 square feet (approximate). The proposed pylon sign along Larpenteur Avenue will be 30 feet in height, 19 feet in width, with eight sign panels (2.5' x 16') for an overall sign area of 320 square feet per side. The existing pylon sign along Lexington Avenue is 25 feet in height, 17 feet in width at the top of the sign, and includes six sign panels with a total sign area of 225 square feet (approximate). The proposed pylon sign along Lexington Avenue will be 25 feet in height, 17 feet in width, with eight sign panels (2' x 14') for an overall sign area of 224 square feet per side. The building signage 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. 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 Proposed Taco Bell (Lot 1). Improvements to the corner site include the construction of a 2,150 square foot/50 seat Taco Bell Restaurant with 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 west in order to create an additional 1 0 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 1999-2000.
