LOT 2Y <br />To: Mayor Butler, <br />Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator q;•::. <br />Orono Council Members <br />From: Jeanne A„ Mabusth, Zoning Administrator <br />Date: October 23, 1986 <br />Subject: #1000 & #1009 William Wear, 2160 Wayzata Blvd. - <br />Variance - Third Review <br />At the Council meeting of October 13th, Council responded to Mr. <br />Wear's appeal seeking immediate action on his variance applications <br />for additional signage for his shopping center located within the <br />Highway 12 Temporary Limited Development Area. Council agreed to <br />consider the application prior to the completion of that planning <br />study recognizing they had promised Wear to resolve the matter of <br />signage standards within two months of his June review. <br />Issues for Consideration: <br />1. The standards of the current B-1 district still apply - model <br />standards from the Richfield and Minnetonka codes have been used in <br />this review merely as comparisons and previews of what new standards <br />may be realized upon completion of the planning study. Variances must <br />be granted to our current code. <br />2. The property is located in the B-1 zoning district but B-3 <br />standards have been deemed applicable since 1.980 because of thy, <br />shopping center use. <br />3. Staff has met with the applicant this past week to review the two <br />codes selected as models for this review and to prepare a sign <br />proposal that would solve the applicant's immediate signage needs, <br />adopt or amend a comprehensive signage plan for the Orono Shopping <br />Center and attempt in that review to merely compare the standards of <br />the other codes not to aDDIV these standards. This has been difficult <br />for the applicant to accept. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Richfield Code Sections - Applicable to Shopping <br />Center Use <br />Exhibit B - Minnetonka Code Sections - Applicable to Shopping <br />Center Use <br />Exhibit C - Sign Elevation <br />Exhibit D - Front/Sc..,th Elevation of Shopping Center <br />Exhibit E - Side/West Elevation of Shopping Center <br />Exhibit F - Site Plan Locating Pylon Signs <br />Exhibit G - Construction Plans for Proposed Sign - Staff Comments <br />Reflect Proposed Changes <br />
