Detailed Baekground .
The subject sign is proposed to be located just north of the driveway.
The sign will be constructed of laminated 2"x6 " construction grade
redwood . The exact colors have not been determined .
The sign will be externally lighted from a ground source .
The sign is surrounded by the applicants property to the north , south
and west . St . Therese is located to the east . The sign should have
no impact on the surrounding area .
The sign will be one-sided . Since the apartments are on a cul-de-sac
there will be little or no traffic coming from the north. The sign
will be positioned at an angle so the backside will not be seen from
the road .
Analysis .
Ordinanee 570 . 48 states :
"Conditional Use Permit R-districts . Signs may be permitted
^ by Conditional Use Permit for public parks and playgrounds ,
churehes , synagogues , public libraries , public museums ,
public and parochial schools , municipal buildings , golf
course , country clubs , apartment buildings , nursing homes ,
community centers , colleges , universities and private
schools , hospitals and sanitariums , based on the following
design eriteria and other conditions the City Council may
require :
a) size : The size shall be proportional to the size of the
facility , need for signage , frontage on street( s) , location ,
visibility , and development in the area . The maximum size
should not exceed 60 square feet per sign surface with a
maximum area of 120 square feet per single sign .
b) height : No free standing sign shall exceed fifteen feet
in height .
c) lighting
1 ) lighting shall be indirect or it shall be
backlighting
2) neon lighting , flashing lighting , and/or rotating
lighted sign shall be prohibited .
.--,
CUP87-29
Page 3
,--�
d) design: signs attaehed to the building shall be
integrated with the building design and architecture in
terms of materials , colors lighting and placement ; signs not
attached to the buildings shall be architecturally treated
and eoordinated with the principal building by use of
compatible materials and design .
e) location: no free standing signs shall be located less
than 25 feet from any street right-of-way line .
f) sign purpose : the principal purpose of the sign permitted
under this section shall be to identify the public or
institutional use made of the property. "
The applicant is allowed up to 60 square feet with a Conditional use
Permit . The size proposed by the applicant is in proportion to the
size of the development . St . Therese was recently granted a 32 square
foot sign.
Ordinance 570 . 47 states :
�'Applications for other proposed sign permits involving a
lesser setback than that required by the zoning code may be
-� granted only by and under a conditional use permit and under
the applicable provisions and regulations of conditional use
requirements set forth in the zoning code . The conditional
use permits may require periodic reviews and may be canceled
for cause . "
The applicant is proposing to place the sign on the lot line . The
Director of Engineering has reviewed the placement of the sign and
found it acceptable .
The sign is in proportion to the site . In the past the Commission has
approved the requests for a larger sign in similar situations .
Alternatives .
1 . Approve the sign for both size and setback . This will
allow the applicant to construct a 29 square foot sign
with a zero setback .
2 . Approve the larger sign area , but not the setback . This
alternative will allow the applicant a 29 square foot
sign with a 25 foot setback .
3 . Approve the zero lot line setback but not the size . This
alternative will allow the applicant to place the sign on
�
the lot line but only have 12 square foot per side .
4 . Deny both Conditional Use Permits . If the Commission
chooses this alternative they will have to formulate
findings of fact to deny the Conditional Use Permit .

-Doug,
As requested, we have visited the Greenfield site and have designed
an entrance monument for that development.
This monument is constructed of laminated 2" x 6" construction grade
redwood. The panel is one-sided with routered letters , borders and
-� logo. The exact color scheme can be determined at a future date .
The cost of this panel is $2,872 .00 plus tax, delivered. This does
not include any masonry or el.ectrical work. Also, any necessary
permits are the responsibility of others .
Based on the development entrance, the cul-de-sac location and
development size , we feel as though this panel is an appropriate size
and scale . With this monurr.ent and proper landscaping, you will have
an excellent entrance to Greenfield.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please
phone me . _
Thanks , Poug.
