Ilk Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes May 20, 1997 Page 11 1 Jamie, Manager of the Apache Medical Building, stated he was present this evening to 2 represent the tenants. He noted the professional image of how the building was represented 3 and how the tenants were represented was his concern. He then presented a proposed sign 4 plan which included sign space for eight tenants. 5 Ms. Kim Flynn, Quiet Waters Salon and tenant of the Apache Medical and Professional 6 Building since August of 1995, stated she loves her location in the building. She enjoys the 7 view and the natural lighting. However, her salon has no visibility to her clientele. 8 Ms. Flynn stated she had been investigating different types and styles of signs in the Twin 9 Cities area. She distributed photographs of different types of signs to the Planning 10 Commission. She noted she felt the individual identifying signage such as that on the multi- 11 story office building on Highway 694 and Central Avenue was the best type of signage she 12 had observed. 13 Mr. Wirth stated Apache Medical Building would like to pursue a comprehensive sign plan 14 utilizing the plan submitted which would include individual lettering with the same size, 15 color, depth and style of lettering with possibly some variation in the font. 16 Commissioner Gondorchin asked what criteria would be established to determine which 17 tenants would be allowed space on the sign. 18 Mr. Wirth noted that no tenant in the building has a legal right to signage. It would probably 19 be determined by who'had an interest and who could afford the signage which would run 20 from $4,000 to $6,000. 21 Commissioner Gondorchin questioned the use of logos in the signage and expressed concern 22 that the proposed wall sign was limiting. He questioned if Mr. Wirth would return at some 23 point and ask for wall signage on the other side of the building. 24 Mr. Wirth stated he did not have any intent of placing signage on the other side of the 25 building. There were large trees on the other side of the building which limited sight. Also 26 the signs were not to attract street traffic but to let people already.coming to the building 27 know where the tenants are located. 28 Commissioner Franzese stated she felt the proposed signage was sufficient for people who 29 lived in the area and knew where the Apache Medical Building was located. She questioned 30 the adequacy of the signage for other customers who did not know the Apache Medical 31 Building. r 32 Mr. Wirth noted the word "Apache" in the white area down the middle of the signage and the 33 monument sign would identify the building. He also stated he had been informed by First 34 Bank that the name of the Apache Shopping Center may change and he may want to change 35 the name of the Apache Medical Building at that time.
