A � Planning Commission Meeting February 20, 1990 Page 3 1 Chairperson Madden opened the Hearing at 7:50 p.m. . He read the public 2 hearing notice which appeared in the February 7, 1990 edition of the 3 St. Anthony Bulletin. 4 5 VanderHeyden reported that the Winston Company will be moving into the 6 building located at 2837 Anthony Lane South in the very near future. 7 She noted that the existing Garment Graphics signs will be removed 8 as well as the temporary sign of the Winston Company. 9 10 The variance request is primarily for sign surface, but VanderHeyden noted 11 an additional three feet in height would be allowable if there is land- 12 scaDina in the area around the sign. 13 14 Mr. Val Coppo, owner of the Winston company, distributed a photo of the sign 15 at his present location. He advised that the sign at the St. Paul location 16 will be moved to the St. Anthony location. Mr. Coppo gave copies 17 of the artist' s rendering of the sign to Commission members. The building 18 is located on a cul-de-sac and Mr. Coppo expressed concern for its visibility. 19 He felt snow could obstruct the sign' s visibility if it were set too low to 20 the ground. The present sign on the fence will be removed and probably a 21 12 x 16 section of the fence, near the fire hydrant , will also be removed. 22 The sign will stand alone with shrubbery around it and a planter underneath 23 the sign similar to those already there. 24 25 Commissioner Franzese inquired if a base for the sign is planned. She was 26 advised that a base for the sign . is included in the plans and the sign will 27 face the street . Commissioner Franzese noted the sign is to be placed near 28 a substantial sized building and she was pleased to see the sign will have 29 some depth. 30 31 Commissioner Brownell inquired if other signage is being planned. Mr. Coppo 32 responded that some thought had been given to locating a similar type sign 33 on the building which will be placed at an angle to the curve of the street. 34 He noted that vehicles approaching the building are really looking at the 35 side of the building. He felt this signage and a "Will Call" directional 36 sign could be requests brought to the Planning Commission at another time. 37 38 The Public Hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. 39 40 It was noted that the sign would be of substantial construction, thereby 41 fitting in well with the building.
