B which states, "The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a <br />style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and <br />design of the site;". Appendix A has been attached to show the site plan. <br />By way of background: Zeus Industrial Products, Inc. (Zeus) is the sole shareholder of <br />CathX Medical, Inc. The shareholders of Zeus are the sole shareholders of Champlain <br />Associates Arden Hills, LLC which purchased the property at 1275 Red Fox Rd. Per <br />our corporate branding standard, we utilize the oval "Z" and "ZEUS" logos on all of our <br />worldwide properties and intend to do so for the property in Arden Hills. It is customary <br />for Zeus to own our properties with the intent to maintain/enhance the properties for 30+ <br />years to support our business growth. <br />CathX Medical, Inc. intends to meet the requirements of ordinance 1260.01 by the <br />following means: <br />• Subd. 1 "There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the <br />sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site;" <br />o CathX Medical, Inc. is not seeking Sign Standard Adjustments based on <br />site conditions relating to reasonable visibility. <br />o For reference: sign variance 04-09 was issued to the site in 2004 to <br />increase the north -facing wall sign copy area to 90 sq ft due to visibility <br />concerns from 1-694 and Snelling Ave. We intend to use the existing <br />variance for the north -facing wall sign. <br />• Subd. 2 "The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style <br />that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and <br />design of the site;" <br />o CathX Medical, Inc. is requesting two sign standard adjustments, both of <br />which are intended to enhance the design and appearance of the property <br />while keeping architectural consistency: <br />
