Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administ <br />June 4, 1991 <br />% <br />7 <br />Approval of Individual Entrance Monuments for 4 Lots <br />> %Subject: #1551 Robert L. Waade - Wildhurst Estates - ^ <br />) ist of Bzhibits - <br />A - Elevation <br />n - Site Plan <br />The developer seeks approval of entrance monuments for each <br />of the 4 lots within the Wildhurst Estates plat. Based on the <br />40' per inch scale submitted for staff's review, it would appear <br />the monuments are placed approximately 3' from the street lot <br />line. This would place them within the 10' drainage and utility <br />easement that abuts the street lot line of all of the lots within <br />Wildhurst Estates. The City has no spe Ific standards for <br />entrance monuments and when entrance monumer.es are proposed with <br />a subdivision, the City Council is asked to review and approve <br />each proposal. <br />In this case because of the configuratios? of this 4 lot <br />pi*t, the developer seeks approval of indiv • .;al entrance <br />monuments at the entrance to each private drive. Review Exhibit <br />A. Entrance monuments are proposed at a 7-1/2* height and appear <br />to be 3' X 3'. The elevations call for brick exteriors with <br />cedar shake roofs. It also appears that each monument has a sign <br />with the name "Wildhurst Estates" at approximately 3' x 3', <br />Per Section 10.61, Subd. 2 (A) (1) - Nameplates. One <br />nameplate sign for each residential dwelling shall not <br />exceed 2 square feet in area per surface and no sign shall <br />be so constructed as to I.c^ve more than two surfaces. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Height - Can height of monuments be reduced? Monuments are <br />not placed at the entrance to a plat road but at individual <br />driveways. Pences for properties located on a minor street <br />would be limited to 3-1/2'. <br />2. Setback - Entrance monuments must be located out of drainage <br />and utility easements that abut each of the lots, 10* along <br />the road and 5' either side of shared lot lines. <br />3. Signage - The configuration of the lots does not allow for a <br />single monument and entrance sign to subdivision area. Can <br />signage still be minimized on each of the monuments at 4 or <br />6 square feet naxlmum? Can signage needs be worked into the <br />3-1/2' fencing adjacent to roadways? <br />Options of Action <br />Denial of entrance monument plan as proposed <br />OR <br />Approval of entrance monument plan as amended by Council. <br />Isv
