Item No. /A <br /> Staff Report No. <br /> Meeting Date: May 11, 1998 <br /> Type of Business: CB <br /> WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Jim Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Consideration of Ordinance No. 607, an Ordinance <br /> Amending Chapter 1008 of the Municipal Code, Entitled "Signs and <br /> Billboards;" Special Planning Case No. SP-061-98. <br /> Date of Report: May 8, 1998 <br /> Introduction: <br /> This ordinance amends Section 1008.02 of the Sign Code so that the installation of exterior wall <br /> signs, such as those individual tenant signs displayed on the facade of the Moundsview Square or <br /> Silver View Plaza buildings, would require a building permit and payment of a fee whereas up to <br /> this point they were exempted. <br /> Analysis: <br /> Requiring a building permit and fee for the installation of an exterior wall sign is typical for most <br /> cities in the metro area. This amendment would not apply to any signage within the interior of a <br /> business, only those signs mounted upon the exterior of a building or its facade. The applicable <br /> fees for such a permit is, according to the 1998 Fee Schedule (page 9), $50 for the first 24 square <br /> feet plus $5 for each additional 25 square feet. Because the maximum size of a wall sign is <br /> restricted to 100 square feet, the maximum fee per wall sign permit would be $65. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council move to adopt Ordinance 607, an ordinance amending <br /> Section 1008.02 of the Sign Code. <br /> CO-ArV4 6R-9Z161(-1 <br /> Jim Ericson, Planning Associate <br />
