TPC The Planning Company PLANNING REPORT 3601 Thurston Avenue Anoka, MN 55303 763.231.5840 TPC@PlanningCo.com TO: Otsego Planning Commission FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP REPORT DATE: 31 January 2019 ACTION DATE: 15 February 2019 ITEM 3.1 RE: Otsego — Great River Centre; Wings Financial freestanding sign TPC FILE: 101.01 BACKGROUND Wings Financial Credit Union has acquired the Otsego branch of Kleinbank located at 15751 87th Street NE. The subject site is within the PUD District for the Great River Centre development approved by the City Council on 13 March 2006. The City Council approved development of the subject site for a bank office and drive through with a PUD Development Stage Plan on 14 Apri 2008. Wings Financial is allowed to occupy the subject site under the same conditions as previously approved. Wing Financial has changed out the wall signs on the building and would like to install a new freestanding sign at the northwest corner of the lot adjacent to Parrish Avenue (CSAH 42) and 87th Street. The Great River Centre PUD District requires all signs comply with the Great River Centre Design Guidelines and Section 37 of the Zoning Ordinance. Freestanding signs for individual lots are limited by the GRC Design Guidelines to one sign 10 feet tall with a maximum area of 40 square feet. The proposed sign is approximately 50 square feet in area and installed upon a structure that is 18 feet in height. Wings Financial has initiated an amendment to the PUD Development Stage Plan to allow the proposed freestanding sign. A public hearing has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 4 February 2019 at 7:OOPM to consider the request. Exhibits: ■ Site Location ■ Sign plan ■ Site plan ■ GRC Design Guidelines (signs) ANALYSIS Section 11-37-5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance allows properties in commercial zoning districts one free standing sign up to 20 feet in height with a maximum area of 100 square feet. The freestanding sign proposed by Wings Financial would comply with this requirement if not subject to the PUD District for Great River Center. A detailed signage plan was proposed by the developer of Great River Centre modifying the sign allowances for lots within the PUD District. The intent of the comprehensive signage plan was to provide for necessary business identification signage and increase opportunity for signs visible from TH 101, while at the same time maintaining consistency with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance for the overall number and area of freestanding signs. The comprehensive signage plan adopted as part of the PUD District allows for the following freestanding signs, which are all to be owned and maintained by a management association encompassing the entire development. ■ Three 50 -foot tall Interstate Monument signs along TH 101 having a total area of 320 square feet (960 square feet total) ■ Two Gateway Monument signs at 85th Street and 87th Street along CSAH 42 having an area of 64 square feet (128 square feet total) not to exceed 15 feet tall. ■ Two Village Monument signs on either end of Parson Avenue at 85th Street and 87th Street with a maximum area of 64 square feet (128 square feet) and maximum height of 14 feet. The comprehensive signage plan also allows one additional freestanding tenant monument for single users, which are limited to 40 square feet and height of 10 feet to function more as directional signs in combination with wall signage. This is the requirement that a freestanding sign on the Wings Financial lot is subject to. The proposed freestanding sign exceeds both the area and height allowed for a freestanding sign on the lot. There is one of the Interstate Monument signs in place adjacent to TH 101 to the east of SuperTarget. It is unlikely that both of the other two Interstate Monument sings will be constructed given the changes to the development that have occurred following forclosure by the bank backing the original developer and the tax forfeit acquisition of the parcel south of 85th Street. There is an existing Gateway Monument sign at the northeast corner of Parrish Avenue (CSAH 42) and 87th Street. This sign identifies SuperTarget, Napa Valley Liquors, and Great Clips, which are all located within Block 1 on the north side of 87th Street. There are no available spaces on the exsiting Gateway Monument sign available to identify Wings Financial. The PUD sign guidelines plan for installation of a Village Monument sign at the southeast corner of 87th Street and Parson Avenue. We anticipate that this sign would be oriented more to those N uses that develop to front onto Parson Avenue. The subject site does not have frontage to Parson Avenue, but does have secondary access to Parson Avenue across an undeveloped lot. City staff believes it is reasonable to consider an individual freestanding sign for the subject site given the circumstances outlined above. The proposed sign is within the area allowance for the Gateway Monument signs. The proposed sign does exceed the allowed height of the Gateway Monument signs, but is two feet in height less than allowed for a freestanding sign within a conventional commercial district. RECOMMENDATION Our office recommends approval of an amendment to the Great River Centre PUD District to allow a freestanding sign for Wings Financial as outlined below. POSSIBLE MOTIONS A. Motion to approve an amendment of the Great River Centre PUD District for Lot 1, Block 1, Shoppes of Great River Centre subject to the following conditions: The freestanding sign shall not exceed sixty-four (64) square feet in area. 2. The freestanding sign (and structure) shall not exceed a height of eighteen (18) feet. 3. The sign structure shall be constructed as a monument consistent with the Great River Centre PUD District design guidelines. 4. The sign structure shall be setback ten (10) feet from the public right-of-way and five (5) feet from any other lot line. 5. A sign permit shall be obtained prior to installation of any signs upon the property. B. Motion to deny the application based on a finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and PUD District. C. Motion to table. C.
