4. The site plan shows the location for a pylon sign. City standards say that the pylon sign must be setback 30 feet from the property line, be a maximum of 20 feet in height with 100 sq. ft. of sign age maximum. SuperAmerica has indicated that they have signage that fits this criteria. This will be reviewed at the time of a sign permit application. The building elevations are also indicating a sign band around the perimeter of the building. In total, the signage cannot exceed 10% of the building elevations facing the street. This will be reviewed at the time of sign permit application. 5. The landscape plan emphasizes perimeter landscaping with a great deal of the site being opened up for green space and landscaping. The landscape plan complies with city design standards including requirements for perimeter planting of over story trees. At the front elevations are primarily deciduous trees. Eleven 6-8 foot scotch pines have been incorporated into the plan to add year round interest to the perimeter landscaping plan. 6.

The drainage system has been reviewed by the Engineering Dept. and found to be adequate. It will be necessary to obtain a permit from the Grass Lake Water Management District. c. All parking and service areas are defined by curb and gutter and are at least 5 feet from all property lines. d. The design standards chapter of the zoning ordinance has specific standards for commercial lighting proposals. Photometric designs will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit. These studies insure that lighting levels at the property line are consistent with City standards and that cut off's are used to conceal the source of light. e. The pump islands are well in excess of 25 feet from a property line. f. The driveways in the proposed site plan exceed the 50 feet from street intersection requirement. g. The sign package will be subject to the sign ordinance in the zoning code. h.

In addition to the design standards relating specifically to automobile service stations, Chapter 1013.01 of the city zoning ordinance lists 6 criteria to be reviewed when considering an application for a conditional use permit. These criteria include: a. Impact on traffic. b. Impact on parks, streets, and other public utilities. 2
