Analysis As previously mentioned there are development standaros within Mississippi Ridge. The proposed finish materials for the Super America C-store and carwash consist of split face single-score pigmented concrete block in shades of "mocha brown" and "brick red." The fInish materials appear consistent with the development standards. The C-store should offset the wall over 50 feet in length with pilasters or angular forms and provide variation in the rooflines to be consistent with the design guidelines. The Site Plan indicates there is an attached dumpster enclosure on the south side of the building. The dumpster enclosure should be constructed of the same materials as the principal building. S ignage - All freestanding signs shall be setback 10 feet from all property lines. Monument signs are permitted for each freestanding building within Mississippi Ridge. The maximum height is 10 feet and the maximum sign area is 100 square feet. The sign should be constructed of brick or face brick; the proposed sign meets this standard. The C-store and the carwash each are allowed two wall signs not to exceed seven percent (7%) of the building wall. The C-store's wall signage is counted on the canopy. The signage area is consistent with this standard. The development standards specifically states "Awning and canopy signs shall not be illuminated." The proposed awning is shown with illumination, which is not consistent with the Mississippi Ridge standards and should be removed. Comprehensive Plan The subject site is guided Highway Business in the Elk River Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Highway Business uses is the most intensive form of commercial development in the city.
