HomeMy WebLinkAboutKING SOOPERS FUELING STATION (CEDARWOOD PLAZA) - PDP - 40-07 - CORRESPONDENCE - (36)ground sign has to be at least 15' from an interior side lot line. If the facility is addressed off
Elizabeth, then the south lot line is the rear lot line and the Taft Hill sign meets this requirement,
but the Elizabeth sign is then closer than 15' to the west lot line, which becomes the side lot line.
If the address is off Taft Hill, then the opposite is true (the Elizabeth sign is ok, but the Taft sign
isn't.
Response: Because of the new dedicated right-of-way and the small landscaping buffers at the
interior side lot lines a monument sign is proposed in the proposed dedicated right of way area at
the northeast comer of the site. Please see the previous comments that address the monument
signage.

[3/25/08] Per Section 3.8.7(E)(13), only 2 signs are allowed on the canopy, one on the east fascia
and one on the north fascia. The plan shows 4 such signs, one on each fascia. The south and
west signs need to be removed. Per Section 3.8.7(E)(8), the maximum allowed height of logo and
cabinet signs is 30", the plan indicates that the logos on the canopy are 33" tall. Also, the
maximum size allowed for the one canopy sign on the north fascia is 12 square feet (Sec.
3.8.7(E)(13), but the logo and letters combined is more than 18 square feet (the logo can't be
considered as one sign and the letters as another, because then there would be two signs
when only one is allowed. So as one sign, it can't exceed 12 square feet)

detention would be required, maybe in the parkway strip, if not on -site. It appears all drainage is

for comments regarding drainage detention requirements on this site.

(generally) from 11.2 to 25.4. These are all acceptable numbers if they represent the initial
installation of the under -canopy lights. ,
Response: See revised Photometric plan, under canopy lighting has been revised to minimize
light levels outside the canopy area.
Number: 65 Created: 3/27/2008
(3/27/08] Section 3.2.4(D)(7) of the LUC states that maximum on -site lighting levels shall not
exceed 10 foot-candles, except for loading and unloading platforms where the maximum lighting
level shall be 20 foot-candles (excepting under -canopy lighting). The Lighting Plan as submitted
shows levels of 15 to 24 foot-candles distances of 7' to 15' outside the edges of the canopy.
This is unacceptable, what is driving it?
Response: Maximum foot-candle levels 10' from the edge of the canopy are now at 6.0 fc.

[3/28/08] Is it necessary to have pole heights of 30' for the lighting at the 4 corners of the site?
Also, the proposed 750 Metal Halide light source may be too high.
Response: Light poles are shielded from the rear and are reduced to 20' with 450 watt fixtures
Number: 67 Created: 3/28/2008
[3/28/08] The Encore Flat Lens 20OW Metal Halide fixtures under the canopy appear to be
completely flush mounted with the ceiling deck of the canopy. Is this a reasonable assumption?
Could the 20OW Metal Halide light source (being very white) be contributing to the high foot-
candle levels outside of the canopy? Maybe a High Pressure Sodium source would be better?
Response: The 30' site lights with 750 watt fixtures were contributing to the high foot-candle
levels both pole height and fixture specifications have changed see revised site photometric plan.
Number: 68 Created: 3/28/2008
[3/28/08] There may be concern about the Encore Focus - Double or Single Deck 100W Metal
Halide fixtures. They obviously are directional lights that extend down below the actual ceiling
deck of the canopy. Being directional, rather than wholly down -directional, they can be
directed to areas outside of the canopy, which could be problematic.

Topic: Lighting Plan
Number: 62 Created: 3/27/2008
[3/27/08] Section 32.4(B) of the City's Land Use Code (LUC) states, in part, that all development
shall submit a proposed lighting plan that meets the functional security needs of the proposed
land use without adversely affecting adjacent properties or the community. Section 3.2.4(D)(3)
states, in part, that light sources shall be concealed and fully shielded and shall feature sharp
cut-off capacity so as to minimize up -light, spill -light, glare and unnecessary diffusion on
adjacent property. Under -canopy fueling areas shall feature flush -mount, flat lens light fixtures
as part of any newly constructed canopy or remodeled canopy.
Response: All lights are flush mounted flat lenses
Number: 63 Created: 3/27/2008
[3/27/08] Section 3.2.4(D)(8) of the LUC states that light levels measured 20' beyond the property
line of the development site (adjacent to residential uses and public rights -of -way) shall not
exceed 0.1 foot-candle as a direct result of the on -site lighting. Based on the Lighting Plan as
submitted, lighting levels 20' outside of this property along South Taft Hill Road range from 4 foot-
candles to 6 foot-candles; and, lighting levels outside of this property along West Elizabeth Street
range from 3 foot candles to 5 foot-candles. Are these high numbers a result of the street
lighting?
Response: The lowest wattage light fixtures available for a canopy fixture are 200 watt and 175
watt, both lights were analyzed, the site pole lights have been changed to 20' high 450 watt
fixtures.
The following is a summary of the lighting levels 20' from the property lines:
1) Maximum lighting levels at 20' from the existing Taft Hill right of way are 0.4 foot-candles,
1.0 foot-candles from the proposed dedicated right of way.
2) Maximum lighting levels at 20' from the existing Elizabeth right of way are 0.1 foot-
candles, 0.2 foot-candles from the proposed dedicated right of way.
3) Maximum lighting levels at 20' from the West property line into the grocery parking lot are
0.3 foot-candles.
4) Maximum lighting levels at 20' from the south property line into the grocery parking lot are
0.1 foot-candles.
The canopy light fixtures are located as far from the edge of the canopy to provide adequate light
to the user at the east and west fuel pump islands.
