_______________________________ Recording Secretary
The sign proposed at the northwest driveway will notify vehicles and pedestrians of the property entrance. The sign is located close to the sight distance triangle and it should be verified
17 that it will not impede sight distance. Staff also supports the location of the monument sign adjacent to the southeast driveway. This sign marks an access point for vehicles on Clayton Road. Staff does not support the curved monument sign at the intersection. The sign location is not adjacent to an entrance and the signage detracts from the architecture of the building. The curved wall is proposed at five feet tall with just under six feet tall columns, staff is of the opinion that this wall is not compatible with pedestrian oriented development and will cut off activity of the retail/restaurant bay from the street. Staff recommends removing the signage from the wall and reducing the wall height to three feet. The proposed site design, building form and materials are urban in character, with traditional elements and will contribute to a pedestrian friendly environment in the area. Staff is of the opinion that the design is compatible in terms of mass, height and design with existing nearby structures. Staff recommends approval with the following condition:
maximum of 25 square feet.
Mr. Erickson respectfully asked for approval of the modification request to allow the 35-square foot “wall” sign at the intersection; they have already removed the signs at the driveways per staffs’ request.
Ron Reim and Chairman Lichtenfeld agreed that reducing the sign on the wall would result in too small of a sign.
Susan Istenes noted that this property is a gateway entrance into the City of Clayton; not to Clarendale.
Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if there is a “welcome to Clayton” sign there.
An unidentified woman in the audience indicated that there is.
Ron Reim commented that he’s happy with the change in materials.
Material samples were shown.
Chairman Lichtenfeld asked about the color of the mortar.
Mr. Bunke replied “gray”.
Richard Lintz stated that he’s struggling with the use of gray cement board on a brown brick building.
Mr. Bunke indicated that the use of gray will be limited.
