SRG ~ Minneapolis Nodh District ONice <br />2825 Hedberg Drive <br /> Minnetonka, Minnesota 55305 <br /> Phone 952 345 0192 <br /> Fax 952 345 0194 <br /> wwwshurgard.com <br />September ?6, 2004 <br />To the Members of the City Council of Little Canada: <br />This request for a signage variance is for 3 directional sighs to help a potential customer <br />locate the business rental office. Directional signage is needed clue to confusion caused <br />by a expansion in 1996 that Located a section of the business at the curb of Counter Road <br />B while the business office is located at the bottom of grade approximately 200 1-rom the <br />curb. <br />Sign Ncunber 1 would be located on the existing building structure Co guide those that use <br />the wrong drive entrance. It mcastues 3'x 3' (9 Square feet). <br />Sign number 2 (the most critical of the 3) wotdd be located between the pylon legs of the <br />existing sign structure in a position where a phone number panel now exists. It would be <br />non illuminated and would measure 6' %z" x 6' '/~° (36.6 square feet). <br />Sign nwnber 3 would be located on a fence adjacent to the rental business office. it <br />would measure 6' x 3' (1 S square feet). <br />Use of directional signage would facilitate the arrival of the customer at the business <br />office instead of a locked storage building. The Pylon sign in particular would promote <br />the public welfare by clearly indicating where the business entrance is located. Ccu~rently <br />there are 2 driveways adjacent to each other. A customer who is n~isdirecte:d to the wrong <br />entrance must make a u turn exiting one driveway and entering the next. In essence a <br />vehicle is driving on the wrong side of the sheet to make this maneuver. Secondly a car <br />exiting may not be prepared to avoid a car in such close proximity to tltieir uaflic lane. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />_. <br />J;,~l,~~ <br />Mike Justak <br />Dishict Manager <br />Shurgard MN~North District <br />
