CASE NUMBER: 1413-82 APPLICANT: Roberts Construction, Inc. DATE: 5 January 1982 Page 2 3. As pointed out in the preceeding paragraphs, however, the location of the parking facilities is a problem. We suggest that the parking lots both north and south be redefined and set back the required 15 feet as required in the B-3 Zone. This 15 foot setback has been strictly adhered to in all recent development in the City, and applies to all business zones, as you know. This requirement goes back to March of 1959 when the initial Comprehensive Ordinance was adopted. The Ordinance also requires that the parking areas be constructed with a" periphery curb and gutter section. This requirement should apply to the entire parking space on the north side, and at least that portion of the southerly area in line with the front of the structure. representative of the applicant. 4. We ;have discussed these conditions with a PP P who is,aware of the a a current requirements. t to th se past d n en equi ements. With respect e sign proposal, a variance to allow a second pylon sign is requested. There is an existing pylon sign located 40 feet from the right-of-way which identifies the. Roberts Construction offices and a fast print service. The applicant proposal to construct a second pylon sign 8 feet by 12 feet along the northerly edge of�the property. By Ordinance, in the B-3 Zone, this sign ,should be set back a distance of 30 feet from the right-of-way. We, are 'very concerned about the precedence of allowing two pylon signs in front of a business zoned building. A solution discussed with a representative of the applicant could provide for the construction of the new sign which can be up to 100 square feet in area, 30 feet back from the right-of-way on the northerly side of the property.. The existing sign could be moved and placed on the building where an additional sign allowance af;100 square feet is provided for in the Ordinance.. Inasmuch as the Roberts Construction offices are not a retail outlet, it would appear that the t handling of'this,sign in that fashion would not be a hardship. Most offices `in Roseville have no pylon sign at all. In this way, the signing needs can be satisfied without a variance. If a new pylon sign is 100 square feet or less, .and the sign on the building is 100 square feet or less. 5. Thus, the options would appear to be one of two: 1.'Approve the rezoning and the variance as,requested; or 2. Approve the rezoning with the understanding that the parking lots be constructed in conformance with the Ordinance requirements which would include: a. All parking be setback a minimum of 15 feet from the public right-of-way. b. The northerly parking lot be constructed with curb and gutter as required. is 7 Y ri `4 t
