Input as to the applicant's wiltingness to reduce ti�e pylon sign to fifi within. fihe <br />City's curreni allowances (35 feet in height and 344 square feet in area) <br />We need to know froen the Planning Commission if you are receptive to ame�ding the <br />Sign Code as we have suggested in this report, a.nd/or to approving a variance far the <br />monurr�ent sigt�ag� af the driveway entrances and ai the corner of Long Lake lZoad and <br />Highway 10. <br />Finally, one other option the Planning Co�nmission could consider is graniing a varsance <br />for the 75 foot sign, based on th� City Engineer's study, but placing conditions on the <br />variance that ii cannot be used untit both of the followit�g occur: <br />The bridge is appeoved by the Minnesota Department af Transportation for <br />construction, and the bridge is under construction. <br />2. The applicant affords the City a period of at least six months in which to consider <br />and adopt an amendment to �he Sign Code to address signage for larger sized <br />shopping centers. If the amendment would allow a c�nter iden�ification sign of at <br />' least 400 square feet in area and 45 feet in height, the variance allawing for a 75 <br />foot sign having an area of 800 square feet would become null and void. <br />Without this additional inforrnation, staff is not prepared to make a recommendation. <br />cc: John Streeter, Paster Entezprises, 2227 University Avenue, St. Paul M1V 55114m1b77 <br />FAX: 646-13 89 <br />� <br />
