As used in this district, a public sign is a sign located on a street, public property, or on a public easement which is used to identify Uptown Hamel, its business and uses, and which meets the standards for the old town — small town image for Uptown Hamel. The size, height, and location for these signs shall be determined by the City Council upon applying the provisions of this ordinance. Signs in this section include gateway monuments. (h) Utilities. All utilities shall be placed underground. A special effort will be made to serve the area with state of the art communication lines underground. Subd. 2 Public Places: (a) Plazas. Plazas or small extensions of the sidewalk into or on private property are encouraged especially at key focal points and selected locations as shown in the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan. Plazas will serve as a unifying link between businesses and sidewalks. The design and form of the plazas shall accommodate social and business interaction, provide a setting for buildings, sidewalks and other plazas, and should accommodate sitting, watching and in some instances outdoor food services. Plazas shall include special pavements (for example, concrete brick pavers or exposed aggregate), decorative lights (the same as or compatible with the lights in the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan), and decorative trees, shrubs and flowers with emphasis on providing a variety of color, texture, and form throughout the year.

Monuments and sculpture will be encouraged e.g. clock tower, gazebo, water fountain, etc. Water spigots for cleaning and watering trees and plants should be conveniently and discretely provided. (b) Hamel Legion Park. This park has an important complementary role. The park brings in many people for active and passive recreation who might not otherwise be exposed to Uptown Hamel. Parking lots can be jointly used by Uptown Hamel and festivals can be a joint venture involving Uptown Hamel and the park. Trail facilities in the park will link to the pedestrian system in Uptown Hamel. Community buildings or other principal buildings in the park shall conform with the Building — Architectural Standards for this district. (c) Monuments. Monuments, sculpture and similar art works are encouraged in public and private plazas to enhance the setting and to contribute to the old town — small town character. Subd. 3 Buildings - Architectural Standards: (a) General. All new buildings, structures, expansions, remodeling, and development plans shall conform to these design standards and be compatible and complementary to the buildings proposed to be retained downtown as shown on the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan and in the Uptown Hamel Illustrations. Elements of compatibility include, but are not limited to, building height; form; mass and bulk; fenestration; exterior materials including appearance, color, durability, character and detailing; setback; landscaping; exterior lighting and site improvements. (b) Old Town - Small Town Scale. The scale of the buildings shall be similar to the scale of the existing two-story buildings and reflect Uptown Hamel's old town - small town scale. Building dimensions shall be proportionate to the specific setting and consistent with the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan, with no floor having more than 20,000 square feet. (c) Building - Street. Building design shall make the street visually more interesting, functionally more enjoyable and useful, and economically more viable. Buildings, porches, and plaza spaces shall be designed to bring the building and its activity more in contact with the street. (d) New Building and Major Expansions. New buildings and major expansions of existing buildings should be proportional to be compatible with adjacent and nearby buildings; however a two-story building shall not be prohibited. Entrances shall be placed for easy access from the street. Utilities shall be placed underground and meters and transformers shall be hidden from view. Page 10 of 20 Ordinance 334 May 15, 2001 (e) Site Plan. A site plan shall be prepared for development, expansion or change in use of the property. Buildings shall be designed and oriented consistent with the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan, proposed use of the property, uses on adjacent properties and nearby amenities. Buildings shall be designed and oriented so as not to detract from one another or vistas. Certain vistas will be protected for the mutual benefits of properties in Uptown Hamel. Vistas which merit protection are: 1)The view from the High Density and Medium Density Residential areas to the Preserve. 2) The view from within the PUD to the church steeple. Where these views exist, partial loss of the view may be an unintended but justified result when development takes place consistent with other provisions of this PUD. At least 5 percent of the site shall be landscaped. An approved plaza can be counted to meet this requirement. All that part of the site not taken up by buildings, walks, or plazas or approved parking and loading shall be landscaped. Grades and drainage must meet City requirements. (f) Integrate — Coordinate. New buildings, structures, remodeling and expansion shall be consistent with the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan and be integrated and coordinated with development on abutting property. Elements for integration and coordination include, but are not limited to, sidewalk and pedestrian ways and their continuity; site lighting; site access; building orientation; building entrances; and utilitarian functions which are to be totally screened from view or which are contained within the building and which include loading, trash, and mechanical and electrical equipment. (g) Porches (Overhangs — Canopies — Arcades). Porches, which overhang into walks, are one of Uptown Hamel's trademarks. These features should be preserved, enhanced, and improved. New commercial structures on Hamel Road and Sioux Drive are expected to be designed and constructed with these features. New porches, arcades or similar structures which overhang or extend into the right-of-way may be allowed by the City through approval of the plan. The property owner may be required to obtain a license from the City or to execute an agreement with the City governing its use, maintenance and other factors. Design criteria/guidelines include: Height: If it projects into the public right of way, a pedestrian clearance of at least 7.5 feet and a height consistent with the architecture of the building shall be provided. Width: At least 6 feet. Columns: Shall be traditional in design and made from durable materials such as finished anodize metal, wrought iron or wood in a color compatible with the building.

Signs: No sign shall be on the outside portion of the porch. A sign no larger than two square feet may be allowed to hang down from inside the porch. (h) Height. Except for religious institutions, building heights shall not exceed 3 stories nor be higher than 35 feet except for pitch roofs with a pitch greater than 6 inches of rise to 12 inches of horizontal distance. (i) Materials. Exterior materials shall consist of one or more of the following: natural brick, stucco, stone, wood and glass. Treated or anodized metal may be used for trim. (j) Roofs. Roofs may be pitched or flat. Flat roofs shall have an architectural treatment (a "cap") of an acceptable design. On pitched roofs, materials and colors must be compatible with the district. (k) Equipment. Equipment shall not be mounted on the roof unless it can be demonstrated that there is no other reasonable alternative. If allowed, rooftop equipment shall be screened using the architectural elements and material from the building provided they are consistent with these design standards. (1) Fenestration — Modulation. Windows and openings shall be generous especially on the street side and their placement and design shall express the old town - small town architecture. Building faces and layout shall be modulated to avoid long building walls without breaks and monotony. At the street level, at least 30 percent of the fagade should be glass in windows (including glass in doors.) (m)Impervious Cover. Impervious cover must be consistent with the following table, provided that parcels larger than two acres may be required to provide on - site ponding to accommodate run-off from proposed development on the site. Land Use Designation in Uptown Hamel Guide Plan Maximum Percentage of I mpervious Cover Allowed Single Family 40 Multiple Family Medium Density 40 Multiple Family High Density 45 Retail/Business 90 Railroad 20 Institutional 20 (n) Landscaping and Setbacks. At least 5 percent of the site shall be plaza or landscaped. Landscaping shall consist of a combination of: decorative deciduous Page 12 of 20 Ordinance 334 May 15, 2001 and coniferous trees, shrubs, flowers and ground covers. Landscaped areas and pockets shall be delineated and separated by any of the following: curbing, decorative fencing, decorative walls, planter boxes, containers, "cut outs" in a plaza, or by similar means. At least 5 percent of the site shall be landscaped. An approved plaza in which at least 20% of the plaza is open to the ground allowing full penetration of water into the ground can be counted to meet this requirement. All that part of the site not taken up by buildings, walks, or plazas or approved parking and loading shall be landscaped. Grades and drainage must meet City requirements. (o) Fences and Walls. Fences and walls shall be decorative using a traditional design and may be used to delineate and separate spaces and to protect topographic change. Fence material shall be wrought iron, anodized steel or aluminum, or wood. Walls shall be made of brick, concrete brick, decorative block, cedar or redwood or stucco on concrete. Fences and walls shall not be located to prevent desirable access through areas and shall be located consistent with the Uptown Hamel Guide Plan. (P) Signs.

(s) Hazardous Material. Provisions for storage of hazardous materials must be included in the building and be identified on the plans. (t) Other Materials. All storage of other materials shall be stored inside the building in a suitable area in accordance with the approved plan. (u) Off — Street Parking. Flexibility in the number of required off-street parking spaces and loading facilities is allowed in Uptown Hamel because: 1) Many parcels were developed prior to enactment of parking and loading requirements. 2) Some parcels are small. 3) Some parcels have little open space. 4) A need to retain continuity of buildings fronting on Hamel Road and in the future on Sioux Drive and a preference for "infill" on Hamel Road to be buildings, not parking. In providing this flexibility, the City will consider the use and need for parking, amount of off-street parking provided, the amount of nearby on -street parking, public parking lots, if any, peak parking demands for the use, joint use of parking, and other relevant factors. In granting a parking reduction, concern for the overall benefits to Uptown Hamel will be considered as well as use and enjoyment of adjacent properties and economic impacts. (v) Parking Prohibited in Front of Building. Except for parcels containing two or more acres and having more than one principal building, there shall be no parking between the principal building and 1) the front property line and 2) the side lot line abutting a street. (w) Loading Docks. Due to the age, scale of development, and the limitation on building bulk, providing a loading dock is optional. However, access to adequately handle goods and materials must be provided on the site. A rear Page 14 of 20 Ordinance 334 May 15, 2001 entrance for loading is favored over loading from the side or front. Loading docks shall have a 9-ton capacity, dustless, all-weather surface. (x) Outdoor Storage of Commercial Vehicles. Outside storage of one commercial vehicle not to exceed 12,000 lb. of gross vehicle weight and not more than 24 feet in length shall be permitted for each 5,000 square feet of gross floor area in the principal structure provided such vehicle has a current and valid license, is in operable condition, is for use on the public streets, is actively used for the approved use on the site and is moved on a daily basis when the use is open for business.
