Case #97-23, Site Plan Modification - Sign Relocation, Manufacturer's I Service, U.S. Operations (MS), 4300 Round Lake Road Mr. Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, explained that Manufacturer's Service . (MS) is requesting approval of a modification of the Site Plan approval which was granted in Planning Case #96-12 to facilitate the relocation of a wall sign to a new location. He explained that a special requirement of the Gateway Business District provides for approval of the location, I type, size and design of signs within the Gateway Business District. The original signage provided for one sign band to either side of the building's five points of entrance for a total of ten I wall signs. The original signage was planned for occupancy of the building by multiple tenants, however, the building is solely occupied by MS. MS currently has no wall signs on their building, so the applicant has not utilized any of the available signage that was originally I provided for. The applicant's request is to locate a wall sign in the upper left hand comer of the building's west wall which would provide exposure to 1-35W. Mr. Ringwald advised that the Planning Commission, at their November 5, 1997 meeting, I recommended approval of the proposed modification to the sign location (wall sign), based on the rationale that the proposed modification does not negatively affect the aesthetics of the I buildings and that the other ten wall sign locations will not be utilized, subject to the size of the wall sign on the west face not exceeding the amount allowed by the Sign Ordinance (100 square .. feet).
