STAFF REPORT <br /> To: Planning Commission Report No.: VIII.3. 14AA�5 <br /> From: Kim Moore-Sykes,Assistant City Manager <br /> Date: April 20, 2010 <br /> Subject: Proposed Monument Sign for Marketplace Center, 2900 Kenzie Terrace <br /> Requested Action: Concept Review <br /> Background: Staff initially met with Marty Orensten, Kaufman Sign Company regarding installing a monument <br /> sign at the St. Anthony Marketplace Center at 2900 Kenzie Terrace. Mr. Orensten worked with Staff to design a <br /> monument sign the meets the criteria of the City's Sign Ordinance. As part of this project, Staff advised Mr. <br /> Orensten that the placement of past monument signs had been problematic due to the rights-of-way that <br /> converge at the Village Pub & Grill site. It was then proposed by Mr. Orensten that one parking stall could be <br /> re-landscaped and used for the installation of the proposed monument sign. <br /> In researching the site, Staff found that Marketplace Center, due the unique characteristic of the site, lacked 31 <br /> parking stalls according to the requirements of the Parking Ordinance and received a variance to the Parking <br /> Ordinance when the site was being developed in 2005. <br /> Staff contacted the City Attorney regarding the situation and the possibility of taking a parking space as a site for <br /> the installation o�the proposed monument sign. Mr. Gilligan indicated that a variance is need and staff is <br /> working with the City Attorney regarding the process for this additional variance. <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Sign Proposal <br /> • City Council Meeting Minutes,August 23, 2005 <br /> 04202010 Markeplace monument sign.doc <br />
