ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR JULY 26, 1999 ( #2502 Orono Self Serve, Continued) • Sansevere inquired whether the height of the canopy will be similar to the height of the Super America. Wear stated the canopy is 14 feet high. Sansevere commented that the Super America is considerably higher than 14 feet. Zadurski stated that he is currently working on this project, and the proposed lighting for this canopy is what is known as Scotsdale lighting, which is designed to be recessed and to shine down rather than out. Zadurski stated the canopy itself will not be illuminated, with this type of lighting being rather restrictive. Sansevere inquired what the width of the canopy is. Zadurski stated that the canopy is 24 by 60 feet and will cover the three gas pumps. Peterson inquired whether the signage will be changed. Wear stated that he would like to change the signage. Jenson stated any changes to the signage would appear before the City Council. • Wear stated that the conditions regarding signage are outlined in Resolution 2073. Weinberger remarked if the conditions are met as outlined in the Resolution, he will not need to appear before the City Council. Sansevere moved, Peterson seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4323, a Resolution Granting a Variance to Allow a Front Yard Setback and a Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Canopy to be Constructed over the Existing Gas Pumps at Orono Self Serve. Kelley inquired what the candle power of the proposed lighting will be as compared to the Super America. Zadurski stated that the lighting at Super America is an older style lighting and that this lighting is more restrictive. Jenson commented that she did review the photometric figures for these lights, which are very minimal. The City Code does not specify any certain limits, but in comparison to other lights, the light levels were concentrated under the canopy and would not have a great impact on the • property lines. 12
