Zoning/Land Use PUD (Planned Unit Development) ! HB (Highway Business) Attachments · Location map · Site plan · Sign elevation · Alternative sign design · Landscape plan Overview Jiffy Lube is asking for an amendment to their conditional use permit to allow a freestanding monument sign. The sign will be located at the 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 · Fax (763) 441-7425 Memo to Mayor & City Council/CU 01-05 March 19, 2001 Page 2 northeast corner of their property, near the intersection of Zane Street and Main Street. The Jiffy Lube site was approved as part of the conditional use permit for the Wash and Fill. At the time of that approval, the exact tenant for the lube facility was not known and no freestanding sign was included for that facility. The location for a freestanding monument sign for Wash and Fill was included on the approved site plan. The Elk River Crossing PUD allows 1 freestanding sign for each freestanding building. Therefore, the proposed sign for Jiffy Lube does not require an amendment to the conditional use permit for the PUD. The proposed location complies with the required 10 foot setback from the Main Street right-of-way and the Zane Street right-of-way. The sign will be 10 feet high and 15 feet wide. The maximum height allowed is 10 feet; there is no maximum width. The Jiffy Lube portion of the sign is an oval, 15 feet wide and 4 feet high. The changeable copy portion of the sign, located underneath the Jiffy Lube portion, is an oval, 12 feet wide and 3 % feet high. The total square footage for the sign is less than the maximum size allowed, which is 100 square feet. The base of the sign should be wider so that the sign does not appear to be so top heavy. If the base were 12 feet wide it would be the same width as the changeable copy portion and would be in better proportion to the rest of the sign. Planninq Commission Meeting At the Planning Commission meeting held on February 27th, no one spoke at the public hearing. The Commission asked how it would fit with the landscaping plan. Attached is a copy of a portion the landscape plan that includes the location of the proposed sign. The sign should not require moving any proposed landscaping. The Commission and the applicant also discussed the proposed changes to the sign; both agreed that the changes were acceptable. Recommendation The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City council approve Jiffy Lube's request to amend the conditional use permit for Wash and Fill to allow a freestanding monument sign with the following conditions: 1. The applicant applies for a sign permit. 2. The base be widened to 12 feet and the cabinet for the changeable copy be a 3 ½ ' X 12' rectangle.
