Item No: 7K <br />Meeting Date: June 22, 2009 <br />Type of Business: Action <br />Administrator Review: ________ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7467, Approving new and replacement <br />signage at the Community Center for Creative Kids <br />Academy <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />On June 9, 2009, city staff received a zoning permit application from Creative Kids <br />Academy, a tenant in the community center. They are requesting city approval to replace <br />an existing sign and add one new sign. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />All new or replacement signage in the city requires a zoning permit. The signs must be <br />approved by the property owner before the City will issue the permit. Since the community <br />center is owned by the City of Mounds View, the City Council is the responsible party to <br />approve or deny this application. Creative Kids Academy is current on their lease <br />payments. <br /> <br />Creative Kids Academy would like to update their signs at the community center to include <br />their full name and current logo. They currently have a ground sign along Edgewood Drive <br />and a space on the main community center ground sign. They are requesting to replace <br />the ground sign and to add a wall sign to the Edgewood Drive side of the building. City <br />staff denied their request to replace the Creative Kids Academy sign in the main community <br />center ground sign because currently the style of all of the lettering on the sign is similar, <br />and the proposed replacement was very different. <br /> <br />Per city code, each business is allowed to have 100 square feet of wall signage and 200 <br />square feet of ground signage. Creative Kids Academy is proposing to replace the existing <br />3’x4’ (12 square feet) ground sign, and add a 5’x5’ (25 square feet) wall sign. There are <br />photos included in this report that show the proposed signs. The proposed signs meet all <br />city code requirements. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> Approve Resolution 7467, approving a zoning permit for a new sign and for a replacement <br />sign at the community center for Creative Kids Academy. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate
