Mounds View Planning Commission June 1, 1994 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> Block Buster signage were shown to the <br /> Planning Commission. The applicants <br /> explained to the Planning commission <br /> that in order for Marios to be <br /> successful, it needs a sign package that <br /> tells what they sell since it is not a <br /> household name as Block Buster Video. <br /> They need the words "games" and "video" <br /> in larger print.
