Development Design Standards <br /> roofing applications for Elk Ridge Center. Roofing applications will be reviewed on an individual <br /> building basis. Even though the product is approved, some colors will not be permitted on <br /> buildings in Elk Ridge Center. <br /> B.7.11 Low slope single ply membrane roofs are permitted. <br /> B.7.12 Where sloped roofs are used, main roofs shall be 4:12 minimum to 14:12 maximum slope <br /> with symmetrical gable or hip configuration. Eaves shall be continuous except at sheds and <br /> dormers. Shed roofs shall be attached to main building wall or roof ridge, with a minimum 3:12 <br /> slope. Eaves shall overhang at least 36 inches and shall be visibly supported by exposed rafter <br /> ends, braces or brackets. <br /> B.8 SIGNS <br /> Intent <br /> Signs are an important element that can be an integral component of the building. Pedestrian- <br /> oriented signs can be fairly small, and the design and uniqueness of the sign can relay the <br /> character of the store. Hanging signs perpendicular to the building are attractive and easily read <br /> by pedestrians. In order to reduce visual pollution and be sensitive to the surrounding <br /> • neighborhood, Elk Ridge Center will not allow individual free standing signage for each tenant. <br /> Monument signs posted at prominent locations on the site will offer shared, offsite signage for <br /> tenants. In addition to these monuments, on premise signage following City standards and the <br /> following guidelines is allowed. Signs shall be designed and installed to enhance both the <br /> building and the street. <br /> Guidelines [see figures E, I, N, P &Q] <br /> B.8.1 Signs should have a minimum clearance of eight feet above the sidewalk for public safety. <br /> B.8.2 Internally illuminated signs are not allowed within 150' of any residence. <br /> B.8.3 Businesses shall be allowed a maximum of three(3) wall signs and one (1) projecting sign. <br /> B.8.4 Wall Signs: Maximum sign size shall be 5% of ground floor facade to which the sign is <br /> affixed. Maximum sign height shall be 18 feet above the sidewalk. Applied lettering may be <br /> substituted for wall signs. <br /> B.8.5 Awning and Canopy Signs: Maximum sign area shall be 10 square feet on main awning <br /> face, and 4 square feet on awning valance. Lettering may appear but shall not dominate sloped <br /> or curved portions, and lettering and signboard may be integrated along the valance or fascia, or <br /> free standing letters mounted on top of and extending above the fascia. Awning and canopy <br /> signs cannot be internally illuminated. Awning and canopy signs shall be included as wall signs. <br /> B.8.6 Projecting Signs: Maximum sign area shall be 6 square feet. Distance from the lower edge <br /> of the signboard to the ground shall be a minimum of 7 feet. Top signboard edge shall be no <br /> higher than the wall from which it projects.

The objective of the exterior <br /> lighting requirements is to eliminate glare and annoyance to adjacent property owners and <br /> passersby. Pollution onto neighboring properties should be avoided. <br /> 13 ELK RIDGE CENTER <br />
