Home My WebLink About10-361NOVEMBER 23, 2010 10 -361 RESOLUTION (CARRIED 7 -0 LOST LAID OVER WITHDRAWN ) PURPOSE: APPROVE AMENDMENT TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AT FVTC FACILITY AT 4200 POBEREZNY ROAD TO PERMIT OFF PREMISE SIGNAGE INITIATED BY: FOX VALLEY TECH NICALCOLLEGE PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approved with condition WHEREAS, the Common Council previously approved a planned development, for construction of a vocational welding school for FVTC; and WHEREAS, the petitioner desires to amend the development plan to permit off - premise signage for Miller Electric, which is a primary sponsor of the facility. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that the vocational school planned development at 4200 Poberezny Road is hereby amended to permit "Miller ", for Miller Electric, as off - premise signage on the main identification ground sign with the condition that no other changes are permitted to the sign without prior approval. 0- fHKOfH ON THE WATER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Darryn Burich Director of PI ing Services DATE: November 18, 2010 RE: Approve Amendment to Previously Approved Planned Development at the FVTC Facility at 4200 Poberezny Road to Permit Off - Premise Signage (Plan Commission Recommends Approval) BACKGROUND The FVTC facility received conditional use permit and planned development approval in June, 2010. It is located on a recently annexed parcel of land that was annexed from the Town of Nekimi. The subject property is located in a relatively yet undeveloped area of the Highway 41 corridor (the Veterans Museum is the only recently developed structure in the immediate area). ANALYSIS FVTC is requesting inclusion of "Miller" on its main identification ground sign as the primary sponsor of the welding facility by providing the welders that will be used to train students at the facility. The sign is technically considered to be an off - premise sign because, while they will be trained on Miller welders, Miller is not a service, business, commodity, or product offered at the property and thus requires a "base standard modification" to allow the sign as proposed. Inclusion of "Miller" in the ground sign as proposed above the signage identifying the "Advanced Technology Manufacturing Center" essentially identifies the facility as the "Miller... Center" which is a type of arrangement that is not uncommon for other such facilities in the City. The intent of prohibiting off - premise signage is to prevent the establishment of '`billboards" and other off -site advertising for services and items not at all directly related to the use of the property where the advertising is placed. In this case, there is a link between Miller and the use of the FVTC facility. FISCAL IMPACT None anticipated. RECOMMENDATION The Plan Commission approved of this request at its November 16, 2010 meeting. Approved, City Manager ITEM: DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT AT 4200 POBEREZNY ROAD Plan Commission meeting of November 16, 2010 GENERAL INFORMATION Petitioner: Fox Valley Technical College Property Owner: GRS, LLC Actions Requested: The petitioner requests a development plan amendment at the recently completed FVTC welding training facility at 4200 Poberezny Road involving "off - premise" signage to be installed in a ground sign on the property. FVTC is requesting to have the "Miller Electric" logo installed in the ground sign. Aside from the off - premise issue, the sign appears to meet all other code requirements. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Section 30- 1(147(r) of the "Zoning Ordinance defines an off - premise sign as "a sign which directs attention to a business, commodity, service, entertainment or attraction sold, offered, or existing elsewhere than upon the same lot where the sign is displayed." Section 30- 7(E)(5) prohibits off- premise signs. The Zoning Ordinance establishes criteria and guidelines for the establishment and /or amendment of a PD overlay district in Section 30 -33 and Conditional Use Permit in Section 30- 11. Property Location and Type: The FVTC facility received conditional use permit and planned development approval in June, 2010. It is located on a recently annexed parcel of land that was annexed from the Town of Nekimi. The subject property is located in a relatively yet undeveloped area of the Highway 4l corridor (the Veterans Museum is the only recently developed structure in the immediate area).

STH "41" N/A Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 10 Year Land Use Recommendation Industrial 20 Year Land Use Recommendation Industrial ANALYSIS FVTC is requesting inclusion of "Miller" on its main identification ground sign as the primary sponsor of the welding facility by providing the welders that will be used to train students at the facility. The sign is technically considered to be an off - premise sign because, while they will be trained on Miller welders, Miller is not a service, business, commodity, or product offered at the property and thus requires that a "base standard modification" be permitted to allow the sign as proposed. Inclusion of "Miller" in the ground sign as proposed above the signage stating "Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center" essentially identifies the facility as the "Miller... Center" although FVTC is not actually designating the facility as such. This type of arrangement is not uncommon for other such facilities in the City with examples such as Ford Festival Park, JJ Keller Field at Titan Stadium, and FVTC's FABTECH Education Center on Oregon Street. The intent of the off - premise provisions is to prevent establishment of "billboards" and other off - site advertising to occur for services and items not at all directly related to the use of the property where the advertising is placed. In this case, there is a link between Miller and the use of the FVTC facility and as such staff is supporting this request with conditions. RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS Staff believes that the proposed development, with conditions, will meet the standards as set forth in Section 30 -33: Planned Developments and not have a negative impact on surrounding lands, will be harmonious with the intended character of the general vicinity, and will not be detrimental to neighboring property or the community as a whole. Staff recommends approval of the development plan amendment with the following conditions: 1- Base standard modification to permit the ground sign with Miller identification as proposed with no other changes permitted to the sign without approval. The Plan Commission approved of the development plan amendment with conditions noted. The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item. Mr. Burich presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area and stated that FVTC had previously received conditional use permit and planned development approval for their new training facility. He reviewed the site plan displaying the area where the sign was proposed to be located and explained the zoning ordinance definition of off - premise signage. He further explained the reasoning for the technical college's request to add the "Miller" logo to their signage and reviewed the sign design and conditions recommended for this request. Mr. Thorns questioned if the Plan Commission had reviewed signage for this site at the time the planned development was approved. Item — PobereznyRd -FVTC PD Amdmt Mr. Burich responded that signage plans may not have been submitted at the time of the planned development approval and providing the proposed sign meets all code requirements, it is customarily approved through the usual zoning review process. This sign meets all code requirements but was coming back for approval of an amendment to the planned development due to the addition of the "Miller" logo to the sign. Mr. Thorns then questioned if the proposed sign would block the view of the veterans memorial. Mr. Burich replied that the size and height of the sign meets all code requirements and he felt the digital billboard sign to the south was much more obtrusive than the FVTC proposed sign. Mr. Thorns inquired if the Plan Commission could request that the placement of the sign be moved back further from its proposed location. Mr. Burich responded negatively and reiterated that the proposed sign meets all code requirements other than off - premise issue. Jill McEwen, Vice President of Administrative Services for Fox Valley Technical College, 1825 North Bluemound Drive, Appleton, stated that they worked with Jones Sign on the development and placement of the signage. She further stated that she discussed its location with a representative of the Veterans Museum and they have approved the location of their proposed sign. She also discussed their 20 year relationship with the Miller business and their reasoning to request to add their name to the signage for the site. Motion by Nollenberger to approve the development plan amendment at 4200 Poberezny Road as requested with the following conditions: 1. Base standard modification to permit the ground sign with Miller identification as proposed with no other changes permitted to the sign without approval. Seconded by Borsuk. Motion carried 7 -0 -1.

This new sign identifies our Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) facility and is cobranded with the Miller Electric logo. The.sign is designed this way because we have the same type of relationship /partnership with Miller Electric as we do with FABCO and our FABTECH Education Center on 3729 Oregon Street. This same type of sign (different appearance but shared logos) was approved for the facility on Oregon Street, which was built approximately three and one half years ago. We have reviewed the sign with our only neighbor, the Military Veterans Museum, and they were supportive of the appearance and the location. There will be no effects on adjoining properties. The sign will not interfere with the museum's future plan for signage. The only other signage in the area is two billboards. One billboard is on the north end of where the new FVTC leased facility is located. The other is located on the south side of the Military Veterans Museum. FVTC expects to serve up to 80 students per day. Attached are the following documents: • Site plan of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center building • Proposed new sign elevation • Proposed sign site plan • State of Wisconsin Engineer- approved drawing Contractors: • Jones Sign, De Pere, Wisconsin, sign contractor • Progressive Electric, electrical contractor Sign Dimensions /Cost: • Our proposed sign is 27' 6" tall and 18' 6" wide. • The new sign will have two 36" diameter x 10' deep augered footings at each end of the sign. • The sign cabinet base is approximately 342 square feet per side. • Projected install cost is $57,000. We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have. 5 Monument ID Sign 18' -6" x 27' -8" 0AH .(Cltv:1 SSW TRANSLUCENT VINYL TO MATCH PMS 20 IC BURGUNDY KMON ISM253 CAROM RED TRANSLUCENTMOL) MORAL PRINT GREY- GRAPHIC B' 115IIS 43' ._ PAINT MP BRUSHED ALUMINUM b f MPBRUSHEDAUUMINUM MINT TO MATCH . 3M 22611 OARRBIET ■ SM 220.12 BLACK OMMKIEWnL ® MUNZIM- 233CAFOWRED TRANSLUCENT YOM 3M 3630- I211NTENSE BLUE TOANSLUCEMVINn.
