Minutes Planning Commissioi. 2/19/86 participating in the Mutual Benefit District described through a Prudential Insurance Company of America roster. The map shows the properties along Santa Rita Road which are exempt and they are included. Mr. Swift stated that Callahan Pentz did the improvements as part of an improvement agreement and asked that they be reimbursed from a Mutual Benefit District. This only covers the curbs, gutters and street improvements that hadn't been done by Adams and Madden. This development should be included. Chairman Wilson said this project should only be responsible for frontage portion of the property. Mr. Swift stated that this is not part of the North Pleasanton Improvement District but something totally different. Mr. Chapman presented the colors and materials proposed to be used. He stated the ceramic the is proposed for the complete building, not just one elevation as is done in other cases. The drawings are in error with regard to depicting the fence. This will be changed to have enamel paint to match the ceramic tile. John Law, Ad Art Signs, addressed the signing portion of this application. Staff wants to do away with wall signing entirely. Doing away with all wall signing would be detrimental to the use of the storage facility. Commissioner Innes asked why if a monument sign is approved, wall signs are needed. Commissioner Innes asked the applicant to point out the location of the monument signing. The applicant complied. Commissioner Lindsey asked the size of the monument sign. Commissioner Innes responded that it appears to be 10'x7'. Lee Reid, the developer of the project, indicated he would be happy to answer any questions posed by the Commission. They did marketing surveys and determined the area could support a mini-storage facility such as this. He stated he is not new to the area and in fact owns the warehouse building across the street which houses the gymnasium in it. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Reid if he has other facilities like this. Mr. Reid indicated he does not. Regarding the parking ratios, they used the services of a consulting firm which has gathered data from many sources. The hours of access have not yet been established, but they will probably be 7:OOam-7:OOpm. Mr. Chapman spoke again addressing signs. They would be willing to reduce the sign to a more agreeable size. The public hearing was closed. Chairman Wilson asked if the Fire Department can maneuver around the turns. Mr. Swift stated that they can make the turn. Chairman Wilson asked if this matter has been cleared with the Fire department. Mr. Swift said it has been. Chairman Wilson discussed paving over the easement. Mr. Swift stated the City has no problem with paving. The questions is building a wall across the easement. Mr. Swift said there is a problem, however, with the signing proposed as there is a 10' sign within 16' which only gives 3' to the sidewalk and to the building and staff feels this is a little too large for the area for which it is proposed. - 3 -
