Memo to the Mayor and City Council/CU 97-17 August 18, 1997 Page 4 There is a freestanding sign proposed for the northwest corner of the site near the Highway 169 and 197th Avenue intersection. The applicant is proposing a 20 foot high pylon sign. The sign agreement for Hillside Crossing II requires that the freestanding sign for this site be a monument style with a maximum height of 10 feet and a maximum area of 100 square feet. Elk Park Center and the other PUD's along Highway 169 have similar signage requirements. All signage will require a sign permit and comply with the sign agreement for Hillside Crossing II. An amendment to the Hillside Crossing II PUD sign agreement will be required if the Council wishes to approve the freestanding sign as proposed. In determining the maximum amount of wall signage allowed, all wall signs proposed on the building, canopy and car wash should be included in the calculation. The Hillside Crossing II sign agreement limits the number of wall signs for each principle building to one for each street frontage with a maximum of 2, must be individual letters limited to 10% of the area of the building wall and no wall signs shall face a residential district on the east side of Highway 169. Elevations / Canopy The applicant has indicated that the building will be about 22 feet high and the canopy will be about 19 feet high. The elevations include split faced block on the bottom of the walls and a cream/tan metal finish around the display windows. The exterior of the building and the car wash should match, as should the exterior of the dumpster enclosure. Elevations of the canopy were not available. Grading and Drainage The grading and drainage was reviewed by the City Engineer. His comments are contained in his memo dated August 12, 1997. Planning Commission Meeting This application was reviewed by the Planning Commission initially on July 22, 1997. At that meeting David Plude, who lives across 197th Avenue from the site, spoke at the public hearing. He did not have any problems with the project. The Planning Commission discussion focused on the access from 197th, the berm along 197th and the access from Evans Street. During the meeting the applicant presented a revised plan that addressed some of the concerns regarding the 197th Avenue access and the berm. The Commission voted to table the application until August 12, 1997 to allow the applicant time to finalize the plan and give staff an opportunity to review it. At the s:\planning\scottXcu9717cc.doc
