5.3 pk,./ C Item # 5.3. City of Elk ,. River MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott Harlicker, Senior Planner DATE: January 23, 2001 SUBJECT: Case No. CU 01-01 Request by Gerald and Angie Koschney to Amend the Conditional Use Permit for Elk River Crossing PUD Request Consider a request by Gerald and Angie Koschney to amend the conditional use permit for Elk River Crossing Planned Unit Development to allow a third wall sign (a single 16 square foot illuminated canopy sign) for Wash & Fill. • Location 18296 Zane Street, Lot 1 Block 1 Elk River Crossing 2nd Addition Zoning/Land Use PUD (Planned Unit Development) / HB (Highway Business) Attachments • Location map • Elevation of the canopy showing proposed sign • Signage requirements for Elk River Crossing • Elevation of monument sign • Site plan showing location of monument sign and canopy sign Overview The applicant would like to amend the Elk River Crossing PUD development standards to allow an illuminated canopy sign. The proposed sign would be the third sign located on this building. The sign is proposed to be located on the • northwest corner of the canopy, facing Highway 169. The sign is 16 square feet 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 • Fax (763) 441-7425 Memo to Planning Commission/CU 01-01 January 23,2001 Page 2 • in size; it measures 2 feet by 8 feet. The base of the canopy is 15 feet above the pavement. The copy on the sign is "CONOCO". PUD Signage Standards The Elk River Crossing PUD development standards include signage requirements. These standards allow for up to 2 wall signs for each building. Canopy and awning signs are included as wall signs. Canopy signs are not to be illuminated. The applicant is asking that the PUD agreement be amended to allow the following changes to the signage requirements: • A third wall sign • An illuminated canopy sign Existing Signaqe The applicant has received sign permits for two wall signs and a freestanding sign. The wall signs read "Express Car Wash" and are located on the north and south elevations, over the entrance and exit of the car wash. The freestanding monument sign is located on the west side of the site along Highway 169. The sign is a 10 foot high monument style sign. A 40 square foot "CONOCO" emblem is located on the top of the monument sign. • Analysis The proposed canopy sign would be visible from vehicles driving south on Highway 169 and east on Main Street. It would not be visible from vehicles driving north on Highway 169 or west on Main Street. The sign will be about 6 feet higher than the monument sign. The applicant has not stated why they need additional signage, other than the freestanding monument sign. Both the proposed canopy sign and the monument sign have the "CONOCO" brand name. Both are visible from the same directions. The proposed canopy sign will be more visible from vehicles traveling east on Main Street than the monument sign. However, most customers will be traveling either north or south on Highway 169 and will be able to see the monument sign. The proposed canopy sign at 16 square feet is not an excessively large sign and, other than an accent strip on the bottom of the canopy, will be the only illuminated portion on the canopy. Recommendation If the applicant can convince the Commission that the canopy sign is needed for product identification, staff can recommend approval of this request. The proposed signage is not excessive and the intent of the development standards, • the need to avoid illuminated canopies such as those at the Holiday and Super S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\CU0101.DOC Memo to Planning Commission/CU 01-01 January 23,2001 Page 3 • America stores, is not violated. However, since the proposed sign is a duplicate of the illuminated monument sign, staff recommends that the canopy sign not be illuminated. • • S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\CU0101.DOC �: 1 !LIN.7. 4k..."---4.-Ipf, N ix ` g?I III X1004amIIII IJ;L1IIL•'1141r*ICI1 lit" a mc,,,,,p, _ Rr41 my- ,� a�hill-" '.gy p o= PS d r� Ilim�t C. ��} ";�u irove, Nr.
