Background 1. Overview of Request: Land O’Lakes has requested a Sign Standard Adjustment through the Site Plan Review process to permit a temporary freestanding sign that would be placed on top of the company’s existing corporate campus sign located along Interstate 694. A deviation from the Sign Code is needed for the permit duration, sign copy area, and height of the proposed sign. The purpose of the installation is to help raise public awareness for the “PolliNation Project” started by Land O’Lakes, which supports pollinator habitats across the country. The temporary sign would feature lettering that spells out “#PolliNation” and a graphic of wildflowers in the background. The dimensions of the sign would be 20 feet in width and 6 feet in height for an area of 120 square feet. The temporary sign would be placed directly on top of an existing 7-foot tall monument sign for an overall installation height of 13 feet. If approved, Land O’Lakes would like to have the sign in place from late July until the end of October 2016.
