Mounds View Planning Commission November 6, 1996 Regular Meeting Page 8 Commissioner Brasaemle asked the applicant what they expected the dinner house restaurants would want for signage, especially pole signs versus monument signs. Mr. Edward Paster replied that usually the tenant wants an identification sign that separates them from everyone else and that monument signage is not always accepted. He also said that promoting tenant names instead of shopping center names is now the trend. He thought if a monument sign were placed at the intersection of Long Lake Road and Highway 10, it would be an innovative approach. He said it would be a hard sell to get tenants to go on a monument sign as opposed to a pole sign. Chair Peterson asked if the Planning Commission had everything they needed to give this case further consideration. Director Sheldon indicated that she needed a diagram that shows the locations where they want the signage and also a drawing of the signage itself as to what package goes with the variance. Commissioner Stevenson suggested that staff provide the Commission with information on what other types of signage are along Highway 10. JoAnn Colleen, asked if the requested monument signage would also be • located at the entrance on the north side of the shopping center. Mr. Streeter replied that they were not asking for signage there. Motion/Second: Miller/Johnston to table the discussion of the signage for Mounds View Square until the Commission's next agenda meeting. Motion carried on a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays. Director Sheldon asked that the Planning Commission consider calling to order at their November 20 meeting to take action on this item and its was Planning Commission's consensus that it would be a possibility that they could call to order contingent upon receiving adequate information on this case.
