. ain Z11a 'hog, <br /> e <br /> DATE : APPROVAL = <br /> June 22 , 1989 <br /> TO : <br /> Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM : <br /> Sue VanderHeyden, Acting City Manager <br /> ST. ANTHONY NATIONAL BANK, 2401 LOWRY AVENUE N.E. - <br /> SIGN VARIANCE REQUEST <br /> St. Anthony National Bank is requesting a variance to place a second <br /> 14.25 square foot identification sign replacing an existing 5.25 square <br /> foot sign on the southeast wall near the front entrance. <br /> The sign replacement is due to, a name change caused by the acquisition <br /> of the St. Anthony Bank by Firstar Corporation. The new name and logo <br /> consist of a two line layout causing the increases in square footage. <br /> A variance was not previously granted for the two wall signs due to the <br /> signs having been grandfathered in under the new Sign Ordinance. A <br /> variance was granted in 1985 for a 9 square foot ground sign in front <br /> of the entrance denoting the instant cash service available. <br /> In addition, two directional signs exist for the drive through service <br /> as well as a 19.6 square foot reader board on the back of the "do not <br /> enter" directional sign. This reader board only faces those St. Anthony <br /> Bank customers who use the drive through teller service, 'however,- a <br /> variance was not sought for this sign. Pictures of the reader board and <br /> proposed second wall sign are enclosed for your review. <br /> Taking into consideration all the existing signage at the bank, the <br /> proposed 14 .25 square foot wall sign would bring the total square <br /> footage to 97.35 square feet, still well within the 150 square feet <br /> allowed per business. In addition, the bank is an extremely large <br /> building located on a corner facing multiple directions. <br /> Finally, it should be noted that the new sign would also serve as an <br /> important identification sign for the new entrance. <br /> :cjk6. 27.89 <br />
