— <br />TO:Planning Commission and Council 7 <br />FROM:Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator <br />DATE:February 25, 1980 <br />SUBJECT: #497 William Wear, 2160 Wayzata Boulevard <br />VARIAi-lCK <br />At our July 23, 1979 meeting we advised Mr. Wear that a total signage <br />plan for the shopping center must be submitted. Planning Commission <br />acknowledged the limitations of the existing signage ordinances in <br />dealing with the demands of a shopping center. The applicant has <br />submitted a signage plan for Planning Commission review and approval. <br />Staff review of Signage Plans <br />Building Signage - all signage for the building will be limited to <br />the specified area designated on the plans. The size of the lettering <br />will be 18" high as opposed to 2' noted on the plans. <br />Planning Commission should consider the following: <br />1. Should signs be limited to the name of company or type of business? <br />Is uniformity necessary? <br />2. Should lettering be uniform - applicant has not specified? <br />Highway Sign - the new highway sign sketch is still 30' in height <br />with a 10* wide roof constructed of the same material used along the <br />front of the building - see exhibit 11. The Orono Shopping Center <br />sign appears to be larger than the allowed 50 sq. ft. Staff would <br />recommend not exceeding 50 sq. ft. for an individual sign. The <br />dimensions for the individual plaques have not been designated. <br />Staff recommends uniform sizing for each plaque. The type of construction <br />material should be noted. Lighting for the building signs and highway <br />sign should be specified. <br />In your recommendation. Planning Commission should advise the applicant <br />that once the signage plan is approved, all additional ground signs <br />(see photographs of site) must go. <br />After this exercise. Planning Commission may wish to entertain a motion <br />to amend the signage sections of our code. <br />1 - ^*-1 . infe A
