Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of June 7, 2018 continued: 7. The overall development will be permitted to have no more than two (2) freestanding monument style signs along the frontage of West Mound Road, one on each of the two (2) proposed lots. One of the permitted freestanding signs shall be a maximum of 160 square feet in area and not exceeding twenty (20) feet in height. The second permitted sign shall not exceed one hundred (100) square feet in area or ten (10) feet in height. Electronic Message Unit (EMU) signage, if proposed, on the freestanding monument style signage shall be permitted, subject to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for EMUs. An electronic message unit shall be permitted on the menu/order board for the drive-through facility. All other signage within the development will be prohibited from having EMUs. 8. Hours of operation for a restaurant, if proposed, shall be between the hours of 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM. 9. No outside speakers shall be permitted except for the drive-through facility with the restaurant. 10. All lights facing the west, north and east shall be shielded from the adjoining properties. 11. A two lot final subdivision plat will be required to be submitted, approved and recorded prior to a final site plan being approved. 12. Except as otherwise required by the Zoning Ordinance regarding buffer yards, a minimum of fifteen(15) foot wide landscaped buffer yard shall be provided along the respective east and west property limits of the overall development where they adjoin residentially-zoned properties. A mix of trees and shrubs, in sizes as prescribed by the Zoning Ordinance, shall be provided within the required buffer yards. 13. Cross-access and cross-parking easements, as well as trash enclosure easement, shall be established, approved, and recorded for the two (2) proposed lots as part of the final subdivision plat approval procedure. 14. The design and location of the proposed curb cut(s) on West Mound Road shall be as approved by the Department of Public Works on the final site plan. 15. Final site,landscaping and lighting plans shall be submitted to and approved by the Economic and Community Development Department, Public Works Department and the Fire Department prior to building permits being released. Staff discussed the limitations of permitted uses with the Commission. Mrs. Mary Cave, representative of the petitioner, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mrs. Cave stated the medical office building is phase one (1) for the proposed development. The uses for the other building are not known at the present. She said they are working with City staff concerning the storm sewer system. Mrs. Cave stated they take exceptions to two (2) of the conditions. The first item is#8 "Hours of Operation". The condition states the hours of operation shall be between 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM. They are asking the Commission members to change the hours of operation to 5:00 AM and 11 PM since Starbucks opens at 5:00 AM across the street. The additional hour in the morning would give a potential restaurant equal treatment. The second item#7 concerns the requested sign for the area. (An image of the requested sign is attached). Mrs. Cave said the image is the type of sign the future tenant of the medical facility is currently using in other communities. It is a three (3) sided LED/LCD sign. Staff has informed the petitioner that the Zoning Ordinance only allows an electronic message unit to be 50 square feet and it cannot be varied. The sign they are requesting is 272 square feet. The petitioner would like the Plan Commission to look at the design and quality of the sign for possible reconsideration.
