The Planning Commission was favorable to the use of monument signage and decorative fencing throughout the 9 9 e development. All of the signage, as proposed, ' is consistent with the sign requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2.

Lighting 1. The Planning Commission was favorable to the light fixture proposed and preferred the option that included the 14 foot ole design. p g Staff indicated that the other option included 30 foot poles that were not p of allowable under the Zoning Ordinance requirements. VSSA had indicated that the ole light fight would be reduced to 24 feet in conformance with the ordinance. 2.

I pp assume all three items would be reviewed by the Parks Commission and the City Council l as well. L Name of the Park: It is our recommendation that the Park be named Bout -well Park. This would provide consistency in location and y d ease of recognition for citizens of Oak Park Heights. The name was chosen to honor a historic figure of the St. Croix Valle area. Attached i � 5a summary of that historic reference. 2 Signage throughout Boutwells Landing: Enclosed are several al copes of our signage plans for the site. We are planning monument signage on both ends of Norwich Parkway arkway and appropriate, complementary e throughout signage hoot tl�e remainder g g g nder of the campus for ease of recognition, consistency of theme, and direction. We have been articular) careful y eful to insure the signage does not interfere with site -lines in traffic areas. 3. A Street Light Plan throughout the camp use We are actually delivering y del�verxng tvo lighting plans alternatives to you: one plan calls for lighting fixtures g tures that are 14 feet high with decorative poles and fixtures and a second lan p that calls for 28 -foot poles with decorative fixtures. It is our understanding that i2 plans completely meet the photometry specifications of City. the ��ty. Therefore, the requirements that the City has for lumens glare, , g e, ease of operation, etc. should be successfully addressed by both lans. Our preference is the 14 -foot pole design. We feel that alternative will provide the campus with an outstanding aesthetic ambiance as well as a very success lighting plan. However, we are submitting both to you and • g �' seekjn your app roval for both. Given your approval, our decision P as to which plan to go forward with would be based on our financial analysis. The 14 -foot option is considerably more expensive, however if we can afford that option, it would remain our preference. Our hope is to receive approval for these lighting plans at the next City P � ty Council meeting so that we can move ahead with the orderin g and installation of these lights this fall in order to have street lights in time for or most of the long winter months. We will be prepared to present these lans and answer questions q ons at both the Parks Commission meeting on 9/18/00 and the City Council meeting ngon9126loo if you would like. If you would like further information do not hesitate to call (651275 - 5318). Thank you for your assistance with these items. BO L� A DING TELE NAME The campus is n axne d for William.
