<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Resolution No. 484-96 <br />November 20, 1996 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Long Lake Road which will block the view ofa portion of the front face of the shopping <br />center and its center identification sign until motorists travel under the bridge. The <br />monument signs proposed at the two driveway entrances will alert motorists to where to <br />turn in the most efficient way possible, since they will be at the roadway edge and more at <br />eye level. They will compensate for the lack of visibility of the center. At present it is <br />very difficult to find the driveway entrances into Mounds View Square at night. <br /> <br />The monument sign at the intersection of Long Lake Road and Highway 10 will provide <br />signage in advance of the bridge structure for motorists traveling west, which is needed <br />since the bridge will block the view of the center identification sign. <br /> <br />b. Thc litcral interprctation of the provisions of this Titlc would dcprivc thc applicant of rights <br />commonly enjoycd by other propcrtics in the same district under the tcrms of this Title. <br /> <br />d. That granting the variance requestcd will not confer on thc applicant any special privilege <br />that is denied by this Title to O\\TIcrs of other lands, structures or buildings in the same <br />district. <br /> <br />g. <br /> <br />Circumstances under which the literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title create an <br />undue hardship on the applicant. Economic hardship may be a circumstance for issuance of <br />a vanance. <br /> <br />The Sign Code allows for tenant identification signs and one pylon sign to identify the <br />overall shopping center. The construction of a pedestrian bridge will block the visibility of <br />both the tenant signage and the pylon sign for Mounds View Square until motorists have <br />traveled under the bridge. The visibility of other shopping centers in Mounds View will <br />not be impacted by the bridge construction. All other properties which abut Highway 10 <br />have clear visibility from the highway and are not obscured by overhead structures. The <br />impact on Mounds View Square will be the most significant due to the angle of the <br />highway, the layout of the shopping center and the position of the bridge. <br /> <br />e. That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. <br /> <br />f. The variance requested would not bc materially detrimental to thc purpose of this Title or to <br />othcr property in the same zone. <br /> <br />The applicant has requested four monument signs, measuring 12 feet tall and 18 feet wide. <br />One is proposed to be located at the intersection of Long Lake Road and Highway] 0, in <br />advance of the bridge structure to alert motorists to the upcoming shopping center, two at <br />the driveway entrances from Highway 10, and one at the intersection of County Road I <br />and Highway 10. The first three signs are needed because the center identification sign <br />will be blocked by the bridge from motorists' view when they travel from east to west on <br />Highway 10. The size of the signs is approximately half the height of monument style <br />
