City of Roseville Community Development Department Memo Jun 6, 1998 TO: Steve Sarkozy, City Manager FROM: Dennis Welsch, ....--ih ~ Community Development Director (490-2232)~ RE: Midas Muffler Canopy Color Joe Stranik, President of Midas Muffler has asked that the city reconsider the use of the color yellow in their awnings, similar to their neighbors to the north who have incorporated a yellow vinyl window awning into their front window display. Some of the history of Planning File #1972 is included below: On May 15, 1989, Richard Stranik, of Midas asked the City for a brick exterior, with no "yellow" as requested by the City, eliminating some of the black top and adding sod and shrubs. On May 27, 1989, R. Stranik worked with his architect to add new concrete wall with brick exterior, and new steel columns on the existing building. On June 7, 1989 , Stranik agreed to the planning report that recommended"... the building facia be constructed in off-white...not bright yellow". On June 24,1989, the Council CUP condition #4 stated: " ...the building will be constructed entirely of brick with white facia panels (no yellow)". Reauest bv Joe Stranik: Midas now requests clarification - the facia would remain "white", but Midas would like to add a "yellow" awning. Nothing was specified about this in the CUP. See the attached awning picture. Frankly, I find the current building to be very stark and bland architecturally. More landscaping and color would enhance its street appearance. Since none of the planning staff was here in 1989, I think the best approach may be to ask Council members if they recall - was their intent to keep color off the entire building or simply off the building facade - which is currently white with black lettering? Is there time on a work session in June or July to get this clarification? Q:\CITY -MGR\MIDAS.MEM (.;b <3' I '-1) \9
