5.The existing sign located in the northwest corner of the property is 15’ feet 10” inches in <br />height and has a total sign copy area of 84.50 square feet. <br />6.The proposed section within the existing sign to be replaced with a digital price sign is <br />15.35 square feet with twenty-four (24) inch letters. <br />7.The proposed change in signage should not conflict with the intent of the zoning <br />ordinance, comprehensive plan or Guiding Plan for the B-2Zoning District. <br />8.The proposed digital price sign should not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the <br />purpose of the zoning district or current land usein which the property is located. <br />9.The sign will be used to advertise the price of petroleum products on the property located <br />at 1310 County Road E. <br />10.There is an existing electronic message board located on the property in the northeast <br />corner used to market the auto repair shop just south of the subject property. This off- <br />premise electronic message board is approximately twenty (20) square feet in size. <br />Variance Findings: <br />1.The proposal is generally in harmony withthe purpose and intent of the ordinance <br />because the ordinance general allows flexibility for signage related matters. <br />2.The sign copy area is not being increased in size, which should minimize visual impact of <br />the digital LED price sign on adjacent property owners and the traveling public. <br />3.The proposal is consistent withthe comprehensive plan because it allows the reasonable <br />use of commercial property. <br />4.Signsarepermitted and reasonable uses within the B-2 Zoning District. <br />5.Unique circumstances as it relates to signage affect the use of the lot asa functioning <br />service station. Safety of the station attendant and the security of the store pose unique <br />circumstances for the applicant and property ownerwhen digital technology is not <br />utilized. <br />6.Since the sign remains static the majority of the time and only displays the cost of one <br />petroleum product, the signis unlikely to have a negative impact on theproperty or the <br />neighborhood. <br />7.The sign as proposed would be visible from County Road E, which abuts Highway51; <br />however,the sign and itsintensity should not affect the area as the sign has technology in <br />place to adjust itsbrightness during daylight and evening hours. <br />8.The proposed variance for the digital LED price sign doesnot appear to be based on <br />economic considerations alone. <br />Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 13-012 and unanimously recommends <br />approval of the signage variance for the Shell Station located at 1306 County Road E, based on <br />the findings of fact and the submitted plans as presented in the September 9, 2013,Report to the <br />City Council, as amended by the following ten (10) conditions: <br />1.That the dynamic display portionof the sign shall not exceed 15.50 square feet. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for September 9, 2013 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2013\PC 13-012 -Brausen_Shell Signage Variance <br />Page 4of 6 <br />
