PC Minutes 5/24/93 • Page 2 a sign may be put up that is ten feet from the front and sideyard property lines as long as it meets height and area requirements. The sign face must be two feet from the property line. The sign Mr. White proposes is 12 feet high (maximum is 35') and is 24 sq. ft which is within the square footage allowed for the building. Mr. White said this sign is necessary because his shop is located in the rear of the building. He explained the sign face will be seen by traffic going north and south on Hamline and the face will be at least two feet from southside property line and six feet from the eastside property line so the sign post will not take up a parking space in the parking area. He will turn off the sign when the business is closed. Discussion followed. Commissioner Salzberg moved to adopt the resolution recommending granting of the variance because it assures the maintenance of an existing parking place and it provides identification for a business that is difficult to see from Hamline Avenue due to its rear location in the Blomberg building. Unanimously approved. PUBLIC HEARING ON A LOTSPLIT ON 1739 FAIRVIEW FOR A LOT ON LINDIG • Public hearing opened 7:45.

This requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 sq. feet, 75 feet of frontage, 30 foot front yard setback, and a 5 foot side yard setback. Both lots created from the lotsplit would meet these requirements if the lotsplit was approved. He explained some conditions which must be met in order for the plat to be approved for recording. One is that the new lot should have a proposed grading plan showing how it would handle the surface drainage as all drainage should be directed down lot before a split could be approved; two, additional street easement • will be required along Lindig. Easement has been given from the lots to the north and south of this property. A survey should be
