MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 06/09/04 MEETING DATE: 06/15/04 <br /> TO: Chair Stromgren & Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Hennepin County/St. Anthony Library Signage <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Review the Hennepin County/St. Anthony Library sign plan and.recommend approval of <br /> the colors, etc., for inclusion into the St. Anthony Shopping Center Comprehensive Sign <br /> Plan. <br /> Background: <br /> The Hennepin County/St. Anthony Community Library is requesting an amendment to <br /> the Comprehensive Sign Plan at the St. Anthony Shopping Center to allow for sign <br /> colors that are not included within the existing Shopping Center criteria. The prospective <br /> colors were reviewed and approved by the property owner, Al Esther. <br /> The logo for the Hennepin County Library system has been redefined and with that, they <br /> would like their.St. Anthony location to have the updated look. <br /> The Hennepin County/St. Anthony Community Library sign plan shows illuminating <br /> colors with the library name and logo in deep plum during the day and white at night. <br /> The golden brown logo accent pieces are not illuminated. Currently, deep plum and <br /> golden brown are not acceptable colors for the St. Anthony Shopping Center's <br /> Comprehensive Sign Plan. <br /> The petitioner states that the letter returns will be natural aluminum in color. Per the <br /> Comprehensive Sign Plan, "All letter returns shall be formed from aluminum in minimum <br /> thickness of .040 inches. Depth of channels shall be 6 inches. All interior surfaces must <br /> have a splash coat of white for reflective purposes. Outside color will be Dupont 4296d7 <br /> 99 Cream." The original Sign .Plan also has. specifics on letter backs and letter faces. <br /> The petitioner should clarify which of these specifications will be met and how their plan <br /> deviates from it. <br /> The original sign criteria mention the following accepted colors: red, blue, green, and <br /> orange. On August 23, 2003, the City Council approved a resolution adding yellow and <br /> white lettering to the St. Anthony Shopping Center Comprehensive Sign Plan. In <br /> addition, other criterion was approved concerning logo signage (see attached). <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Application for Comprehensive Sign Plan <br /> • Sign Criteria for St. Anthony Shopping Center <br /> • Resolution 03-094 <br />
