Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 01-23 July 16, 2001 Page 3 Signage Additional wall signs are proposed over the new entrance and over the drive through window. The sign on the canopy over the new entrance is 3 feet high and 24 feet long and says 'Pharmacy". The sign over the drive through window is 4 feet by 16 feet and says "Pharmacy Drive-Thru". The PUD amendment will have to include this additional signage, because the original PUD sign agreement limited signage to what has been installed. The applicant will have to apply for a sign permit for the two signs Landscaping. The applicant will be providing a landscape plan. They will be required to provide evergreens to screen the loading area and overstory trees along the Jackson Street entrance. Planning Commission Meeting At the June 26th Planning Commission meeting no one spoke at the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed exterior building materials. They wanted to be sure that the exterior of the addition consisted of the same material as the existing building. The Commission also discussed the location of the exit for the pharmacy drive-through. Staff recommended that the location of the exit be moved so that it was located on the center access drive from Jackson St. The applicant felt that because of the change in grade and the desire to have customers exit out to the front of the store the exit should stay as proposed. The Commission agreed and deleted that condition from their recommendation. The applicant also asked that the proposed addition be modified slightly from the plans that were included in the packet. The modification was to construct a 20,267 square foot addition instead of the 19,579 square foot addition as originally proposed. The additional 688 square feet would be picked up by squaring off the back of the addition, which would eliminate the indentation in the loading area at back of the addition. This revision was included on the site plan for the easement vacation. The Planning Commission felt that the loading area would be too visible with the squared off corner and did not include the additional 688 square feet in their recommendation. In order to better screen the loading area, the Commission included a condition that the south wall of the building be extended to the west to screen the loading area from the Jackson St. entrance. Recommendation The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve of the conditional use permit to amend the Elk Park Center PUD to allow a 19,579 square foot addition to Cub Foods, the drive through window and the two additional signs with the following conditions: 1. All comments of the City Engineer be addressed. 2. All wall signs will require sign permits. S:\PLANNING\SCOTTkcu01-23cc.doc
