Childs, City Manager ITEM : 02-89 SIGN VARIANCE RE UEST AT ST. ANTHONY SHOPPING CENTER The St. Anthony Shopping Center, represented by the Eberhardt Company, has three items for the Commission consideration which represent the "signage package" for the center. 1. Proposed new pylon sign to replace the existing sign. (Plan is attached. ) The Sign Code allows a free standing sign for a shopping center not to exceed 300 square feet in size. The proposed sign is 260 square feet or 40 square feet below the maximum allowed size. 2. Signage criteria for the tenants which will be used in conjunction with a new sign band for the buildings. The criteria allows only individual lettering, and has limits on the size and number of signs. These criteria do not pre-empt our regulations, but represent an attempt to standardize the signage at the center. 3. A request for a variance to allow a 39.5 square foot tenant directory on the wall of the store front formerly occupied by Brown phono and facing Kenzie Terrace. Justification of special circumstances supporting the variance request by the applicant include: 1. The shopping center fronts on both Highway 88 and Kenzie Terrace, but no identification of the center or its tenants is available on Kenzie. 2. The 39.5 square foot size, when coupled with the new 260 square foot pylon sign is still less than they are allowed if there were a pylon sign only. 3. The center buildings tend to have their backs on Kenzie, further screening the visibility. No calls have been received regarding the variance, either for or against. I believe that if done as a package, this represents a vast improvement over previous proposals. You may wish to consider approval of the variance with installation of the directory allowed ter the building facia and new pylon sign have been installed. Date: December 13, 1988 Fee: $25.00 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PETITION FOR SIGN VARIANCE Applicant: Eberhardt Company Phone: 336-4279 Address: PO Box 1385 Minneapolis, f'tl 55403 Attn: Rod Johnson Status of applicant (owner, buyer, renter, agent, etc. ) : Agent Street address and/or legal description of property petitioned for variance: 2900-2955 Pentagon Drive PSE Zoning district in which property is located: r Request: Variance to install a tenant directory at the northwestern center entrance Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require that the following • conditions be satisfied for approval of this request. - Please respond to these conditions, using additional sheets, if necessary. 1) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious- to other property in the neighborhood or village. ATTACHED 2) A particular hardship to the applicant would result if the strict letter of the regulations are adhered to. ATTACHED 3) The conditions upon which the applications for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same land- use classification. ATTACHED Signature of applicant: R y E. Johnson Praperty Pianager Eberhardt Company 12- 16 - o A * 25 . 00 N' 1 ) The proposed tenant directory is of low profile construction and will be attached to the building . It will be composed of the same material and will be of similar lettering as proposed under the new sign criteria for the center . Therefore , it poses no detriment to the welfare of the public and it will not injure other property in the neighborhood. 2 ) As explained when we originally proposed the tenant directory, there are a number of cars which pass the northwestern entrance of the center . Since the merchants are not allowed signage at the rear of the buildings , the directory would increase their visibility to prospective customers. Effective signage is probably the best advertising source for merchants in strip malls . It is our belief, those merchants listed on the directory would benefit and the increased traffic into the center would spread to other merchants . 3 ) Unlike Apache Plaza,— the St. Anthony Shopping Center has two major roadways ; one running in front. of and one benind the center. As noted above , a number of cars pass by and enter the center from Kenzie Terrace . With the continued development along Kenzie Terrace , more and more vehicles will be using this roadway. The directory will define and enhance the appearance of this entrance.. The shopping center will then have suitable signage from both New Brighton Blvd. and Kenzie Terrace . CITY OF ST. ANTHONY NOTICE OF HEARING SIGN VARIANCE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Notice is hereby given that there will be a public hearing by the Planning Commission of the City of St. Anthony on Tuesday, January 17, 1989 at 8:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 3301 Silver Lake Road (enter northeast corner) for the following purpose: Consideration of a request for a variance from the City's Sign Ordinance by Eberhardt Company on behalf of the St. Anthony Shopping Center for a tenant directory sign proposed to be mounted on the wall at the northwest entrance to the center. The northwest wall of the former Brown Photo location fac- ing Kenzie Terrace is the proposed location of the requested 6 foot 6 inch X 6 foot 1 inch sign (total 39.6 square feet) . Anyone wishing to be heard with reference to the above matter will be heard at said time and place. Questions regarding this matter may be referred to the City Manager, 789-8881. David M.

Childs, City Manager ITEM : 01-89 Conditional Use Request - Slick' s Alternative This is a request from Robert and Diane Slick for a conditional use permit to allow operation of a non-alcoholic lounge (The "Altern- ative") in a "C" Commercial zone. The Alternative was formerly located in the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center for about 5 years but was forced to relocate when the center was acquired by the St. Anthony H.R.A. as part of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project. Section 9, Subd. 3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a conditional use permit for 2. Assembly, lodge or convention halls 8. Establishments primarily for the sale of beverages for con- sumption on the premises 14. Establishments having more than three amusement devices as defined in Section 510:05. The proposed use is applicable to all three of the above criteria for a conditional use to be required. This operation has been very successful in its former location, and the City has 5 years of experience in monitoring parking, traffic noise and other issues which could potentially surround such an operation. There have been no complaints in those 5 years. *No calls have been received regarding this request. *The City Code Section 460:00 requires this and all "recreational establishments" to be closed from 1:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. *Parking is in conformance with code requirements. *Signage is being designed and if variances are required, an application will be made for the February meeting. *Applicants will have a total square footage of 7,758 square feet and 68 tables with seating for up to 272 persons.
