I have noticed that you put up a new freestanding sign for your business at 2725 Wayzata Boulevard.
Unfortunately whoever put the sign up for you did not obtain a permit from the City and as a result the
sign does not comply with all the regulations regarding freestanding signs:
Monument signs. One monument sign, limited to two faces is allowed per property.The areas of sign base,the
supporting background structure,and the sign copy shall be combined for determining the total square footage and
the height of the monument sign:
a. The total allowable square footage shall not exceed 100 square feet per side.The base and supporting
material shall constitute at least 25 percent of the total square footage.
b. The base width dimension is 50 percent or more of the greatest width of the sign.
C. The sign copy area shall have a minimum clearance of 20 inches above ground level.
d. The sign copy area shall be completely enclosed within the monument materials.
e. No portion of the sign or sign structure shall exceed ten feet above ground level.
f. The monument sign base shall be constructed of materials similar in appearance to those of the principal
structure and shall consist of brick,natural stone,stucco,textured cast stone,or integrally colored concrete
masonry units. The structure surrounding the face of the sign from the base to the top of the sign must be
solid,continuous,and consist of the base materials or complementary materials that match the appearance
and color of the principal building.

We have reconsidered your sign and. in light of the condition of the economy. decided to postpone
enforcement until a permanent monument sign is constructed for the building or you are no longer
operating from this location (whichever happens first). But you may not alter or enlarge the existing
sign and the City will not replace the sign if it must he removed to access the sewer and water lines
that are in the vicinity of the sign. 'Phis does not negate any authority your landlord has to control the
signs you place on the property.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Sincerely.
