STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: January 30, 1996 <br /> TO: Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant <br /> ITEM: Comprehensive Sign Package for Apache Plaza <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The Ste. Marie Corporation, owner of the Apache Plaza Shopping Center has submitted <br /> plans to the City of St. Anthony that is virtually the same as the Comprehensive Sign Plan <br /> that was originally submitted in November, 1994. <br /> The difference between this proposed sign package and the one that the Planning <br /> Commission recommended for approval in 1994 is that Ste. Marie Corporation and OPUS <br /> are proposing to have up to five (5) ground signs. A ground sign is being requested for lots <br /> 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. A drawing of the proposed ground signs is included in this packet. <br /> By submitting a comprehensive sign package, exceptions to the regulations of the sign <br /> ordinance may be permitted. The purpose of providing this exception is to recognize that <br /> because of the size of the current mall and the proposed redevelopment of additional retail <br /> areas, i.e. Cub Foods, the size and number of signs will be greater than is allowed by the <br /> City's Sign Ordinance. <br /> This exception also gives the Planning Commission and the City Council the flexibility <br /> that enables them to look at the overall concept and make exceptions to the ordinance. <br />
