not the square footage of sign area. (The signs on the original <br />• canopies constructed in 1976 did not have variances.) <br />§9-13.02 Subd.3(b) permits one sign per lot frontage. In <br />addition, §9-13.03 Subd.7 permits one pylon sign for fuel <br />stations. Because it is a corner lot, AMOCO would be permitted <br />three signs within the code. The proposed signs require a <br />variance to allow six signs instead of three. Because each <br />canopy is considered a sign making the total number of signs six. <br />This includes three signs on the existing building, two canopies <br />and the pylon sign. AMOCO representatives explained that there <br />would be signs on two sides rather than on three sides of each <br />canopy to reduce sign clutter. The proposed sign area is 220 sq. <br />ft. which is down from the present 360 sq. ft. <br />Tim Malloy, consulting planner, updated the commission on a <br />meeting with AMOCO representatives and summarized the variance <br />request. <br />An overhead showing the existing and proposed site plans was <br />discussed. <br />The existing pylon sign will be replaced with a smaller version <br />placed further back from the property line to significantly <br />improve visibility at this intersection. Mr. Warner, from <br />Warners' Stellian, asked if the new pylon sign would remain at <br />• the current angle. Mr Schroeder from AMOCO said it would. <br />There being no further questions, Huso moved to approve the <br />variance on signs as described to reduce the current sign clutter <br />at this intersection. Seconded by Boche and unanimously <br />approved. <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:10. <br />Susan Hoyt, Administrator <br />Dee Swenson, Recording Secretary <br />• <br />
