monument sign, which does comply in terms of area. It complies with the ten-foot setback and would be mounted on a brick base. The Planning Commission did have a concern with the finish on the material for this sign. They felt it lacked the durability that the Commercial Development Design Guidelines (CDDSG) require. Staff is requesting that the sign face be a gray stucco material, rather than a Datex material, to more closely resemble the materials of the building. Staff is also requesting that the blue sign panel is recessed into the background to be flush with the sign face, and that the "An EDS Company" lettering is peg-mounted to the sign face. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval with the following five conditions: 1. That the monument sign base shall be constructed of gray-colored stucco, while retaining the brick base, with the logo panel recessed such that it is flush with the sign face and that the "An EDS Company" lettering shall be peg-mounted to the sign face; 2. That it shall be noted on the Final PUD Amendment that this PUD Amendment shall be the controlling document for project signage at this site and shall supersede all previous approvals for signage; That a variety of flowering perennials are provided for the monument sign setting, subject to Staff review and approval; That the monument sign as depicted on the site plan and the extraneous text below the 'Centrobe' wall sign are stricken from the plans; and That if the required landscaping is not installed by May 15, 1999, this PUD shall be called back for review before Planning Commission pursuant to subsection 17.28.220 (A) and that a performance guarantee consistent with City code and City policies shall be held until such time as the required landscaping is complete. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Richard Johnston, Real Estate Manager for Centrobe, 833 W South Boulder Road, Louisville, Colorado, asked to address a few of the Planning Commission comments. He stated that they feel the dantex material used on the monument sign was consistent with the material used on the building's column and trim pieces. He explained that the material was also selected for its ability to easily fabricate into parts that can be shipped to the site and assembled. Johnston was then available to answer any questions. Davidson called for Council comments and questions. Sisk asked when the sign at Centrobe on McCaslin was put up. Johnston replied on May 15, 1998. Sisk stated that the application for a new sign was filed on July 8, 1998. Johnston replied that several attempts were made to resolve the issue earlier, however, they failed to meet certain criteria and had to return to the drawing board. Sisk stated that this indicates that Centrobe erected a sign on their own, without City approval.
