Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Don Shonkwiler, H.D. Delaware Properties, Inc., 400 South McCaslin Boulevard, Louisville, Colorado, introduced Dan Brubaker, representing McDonald's and Kirk Prinslow, Colorado Land Consultants, planners and engineers for the site. Davidson called for Council questions or comments. Howard felt there was a lack of under carriage foliage on McCaslin. Sisk was concerned about the size of the signs. Keany wondered if all of the signs were needed. Wood stated the Code allows for one wall sign per building frontage. In this case, building frontage is required to be adjoining fronting a street, having a public entrance, or adjoining a public parking lot. This building would have at least three building frontages. According to Code, Wood stated that they could probably have up to about 450 s.f. of signage. Mayer wanted to make the Gateway Design Guidelines consistent with the Marketplace Guidelines. Shonkwiler commented that the Marketplace Design Guidelines are consistent with or more restrictive than the Gateway standards. Lathrop was concerned about the trash enclosure. Shonkwiler explained that Planning Commission was asking for, but did not make it a condition of their approval, the trash enclosure to be appended to the south end of the building. They later changed their minds and decided to leave it where it was. Lathrop questioned the necessity for the size of the playland sign on the north side of the building. He did not feel the height and signage was necessary for that side of the building. Prinslow stated that the number of the letters in the sign necessitate the size and will help direct traffic off of McCaslin. Davidson felt the McDonald's signs were recognizable by their appearance rather than their size. Sisk moved that Council approve the Final PUD Development Plan for McDonald's and accept a motion to approve Resolution No. 47, Series 1994, specifically with the conditions set forth in the Planning Commission minutes, with the express emphasis that the signs will comply with the Centennial Marketplace Design Guidelines limiting the signs to a maximum of 50 s.f. per sign. Seconded by Mayer.
