As you are aware, the City gave approval to Stillwater Ford for a conditional use permit in 1999 to allow for a complete reconstruction of the building and site layout of the dealership. At that time, a condition to the approval was added that stated "all exterior signage shall conform to the provisions of Section 401.15.G of the Zoning Ordinance." It has been expected that Stillwater Ford would apply for sign variances to allow for additional wall and pylon signage. Attached for reference: Exhibit A: Site Plan with New Pylon Sign Locations Exhibit B: Landscaping Plan Exhibit C: Building Elevation with Signs Exhibit D: Ford Logo Pylon Sign Exhibit E: Ford Preowned Vehicle Pylon Sign Exhibit F: Lincoln Mercury Monument Sign Exhibit G: Quick Lane Monument/Pylon Sign ANALYSIS Existing Signage. The only remaining signage on the site consists of two pylon signs. These signs are proposed to be reconstructed and replaced on the site. 1 • Variance Request. The applicants have proposed a total of four freestanding signs, a Ford logo pylon sign, a Ford preowned vehicle pylon sign, a Lincoln Mercury monument sign, and Quick Lane pylon sign. Wall signage consists of a total of six signs and directional signage above service doors and vehicle delivery. A summary of the proposed signage is as follows: PROPOSED SIGNAGE PYLON MONUMENT SIGNS Type Height Total Square Feet Ford Logo 30 feet 130 square feet Ford Preowned Vehicle 30 feet 62 square feet Lincoln Mercury 8.5 feet 77 square feet Quick Lane 20 feet 120 square feet Total Pylon Square Feet 389 square feet WALL SIGNS Building Elevation 1 Stillwater /Lincoln Mercury 204 square feet Ford Logo 73 square feet Quick Lane 68 square feet Alignment, Brakes, etc. 80 square feet Building Elevation 2 Stillwater /Ford /Lincoln Mercury 235 square feet Ford Logo 31 square feet Total Wall Sign Square Feet 691 square feet DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE 87 square feet TOTAL SQUARE FEET 1,167 square feet Allowable Signs. Section 401.15.G.8.d specifies the allowable signage within the B -2, General Business District. One freestanding sign is allowed with a maximum of 150 square feet, no more than 30 feet in height. Two wall signs are allowed with a combined total of 150 square feet. Variance Review. The City of Oak Park Heights has granted flexibility in the past related to its Sign Ordinance for numbers of freestanding signs and overall signage square footage. The hardship has generally been attributed to site visibility as well as the overall building facade square footage versus the requested wall signage. The Stillwater Ford building is located at an intersection of Highways 36 and 5, with an overpass that restricts overall visibility. The size of the Stillwater Ford facade is quite large and can accommodate more than the allowable wall signage to assure identification of the name of the business as well as the general product line. 2 Staff has discussed the requested sign plan and recommends that one pylon sign not to exceed 130 square feet and 30 feet in height be allowed. In addition, two monument signs not to exceed 80 square feet each and 8 feet in height at the two entrances are recommended. The applicant can chose the message on each of the signs. The pylon sign would be required to have a base with landscaping. The construction materials of the base would need to be similar to the materials of the building. Recommended wall signage would consist of all the proposed signs except for the advertising above the windows on two of the facades consisting of "alignment, brakes, tires, shocks /struts and air conditioning." These are considered more as advertising for services as opposed to identification of the business or directional signage. The signage such as "service, fast lube, and vehicle detailing" are seen as necessary to promote internal site direction. Other Issues. An issue remaining from the site development and original conditional use permit is the location of and the height of the light standards. The approvals granted in 1999 included conditions that "all outdoor lighting poles must be reduced to twenty -five (25) feet in height" and that "the site plan is revised such that all outdoor Lighting along the site_perimeteris.located _.notiess than_._ten_(_10). _ feeet from_th_e_str_eet__ right -of -way or five (5) feet from an internal site or rear lot line and that the intensity of outdoor lighting measured at the property line does not exceed four - tenths (0.4) foot candles." The lights, as they have been installed on site, do not conform to the setback or height requirements. As a condition of certificate of occupancy issuance for the dealership, the applicant will need to change the poles to make them conform and provide evidence that the foot candle requirements can be achieved. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Based upon the preceding review, our office recommends a partial approval of the requested variance for sign installation. The hardship for the variance is the limited visibility of the dealership from Highways 5 and 36. The signage recommended for the site consists of the following: 1. One pylon sign, not to exceed 130 square feet and 30 feet in height. The sign would require a base with landscaping constructed out of materials similar to what is used on the principal building. Plans for the sign base would need to be submitted by the applicant for approval by City staff. 2. Two monument signs, at each of the entrances to the site, not to exceed 80 square feet each and no more than eight feet in height. 3. All proposed wall signage except for the advertising above the windows on two facades consisting of the wording "alignment, brakes, tires, shocks /struts and air conditioning." 3 '' 4. The applicant may choose the wording /logos on the pylon and monument signs based upon the examples provided. pc: Kris Danielson - I 4 • • , tn. SITE UGHTE4G SOMME 1400000..
