Planning Commission <br /> Planning Case No. 462-96: Mounds View Square Shopping Center <br /> November 6, 1996 <br /> Page 5 <br /> 2. Input as to the applicant's willingness to reduce the pylon sign to fit within the <br /> City's current allowances (35 feet in height and 340 square feet in area) <br /> We need to know from the Planning Commission if you are receptive to amending the <br /> Sign Code as we have suggested in this report, and/or to approving a variance for the <br /> monument signage at the driveway entrances and at the corner of Long Lake Road and <br /> Highway 10. <br /> Finally, one other option the Planning Commission could consider is granting a variance <br /> for the 75 foot sign, based on the City Engineer's study, but placing conditions on the <br /> variance that it cannot be used until both of the following occur: <br /> 1. The bridge is approved by the Minnesota Department of 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 /> 1111 and adopt an amendment to the Sign Code to address signage for larger sized <br /> shopping centers. If the amendment would allow a center identification sign of at <br /> least 400 square feet in area and 45 feet in height, the variance allowing for a 75 <br /> foot sign having an area of 800 square feet would become null and void. <br /> Without this additional information, staff is not prepared to make a recommendation. <br /> cc: John Streeter, Paster Enterprises, 2227 University Avenue, St. Paul MN 55114-1677 <br /> FAX: 646-1389 <br /> • <br />
