Pillars, Entry Monuments & Gateways <br />Decemb^ 29, 1988 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />Staff RaooaMiidatiofi > <br />In light of the abov* issues and concerns, for discussion purposes, <br />staff would make the following recommendation regarding standards for entry <br />monuments, pillars, gates, lighting and signage: <br />T^.try pillars or monuments should be allowed for new and existing <br />subdivisions, flanking either public or private streets. <br />2. Such pillars and monuments must be set back into the private <br />residrntial building lot at least 10* from property lines, and meeting <br />the required 30* sight triangle at the corner. <br />3. Pillars and monument* flanking private driveways within private <br />property must also meet the 10’ setback from property line and be <br />spaced a minimum of i6' apart to provide for adequate emergency <br />vehicle clearance. <br />4. Gates should only be allowed for private driveways serving from 1- <br />3 residences. Gates shall require a mandatory manual opening <br />mechanism for emergency purposes. Where a gateisin place, an <br />integral delivery and phrne system will be required. Where the <br />City determines that 'blockage of vehicles by a gate will create an <br />unsafe backing up situation, a be'*' -up apron must be provided within <br />the private property. <br />5. For entry monuments or pillars with or without gates, no sK^re than <br />two pillars (one on each side of a road or driveway) may be <br />constructed, and the top of the structure, excluding light fixture, <br />shall not exceed 6*. The portion of the frillar exceeding 3.5* in <br />height shall not exceed 5* maximum ^dth on each side of the road or <br />driveway. <br />f. Light fixtures that are %rate unit from the pillar may extend <br />as high as 3* above the top the pillar. Light fixtures that are <br />intregral with the structure are subject to the 6* structure height <br />limitation. <br />7. Pillars or signage monuments which indentlfy a private property <br />may include only the name of the property owner and the address, <br />subject to the sign provisions of Section 10.61, Subdivision 2. <br />For subdivisions, any permanent indeiitifirai *sign or monument <br />shal? be intregral with or take the place w entry pillar <br />monuT nt, nd the sign portion of the structu» ‘hall not exceed € <br />s.f. per pillar, or 12 s.f. total.
