I' ARDEN HILL CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 10 1997 0 ~ I Mr. Ringwald added that the applicanf had requested that they be allowed to keep the potential I- for one additional sign at the northeasf (visifors) entrance without having to come back through the Planning Commission/City Council review process. He commented that, given the extent of the original signage that was approved, it would seem appropriate to allow for two wall signs on I this structure, each of which would be 100 square feet or less in area, Councilmember Malone inquired regarding the rationale for the sign request on the northeast I corner. Tom Brunmeier, Facilities Manager of Manufacturer's Service, explained the east end of the I building is all office and the warehouse/factory is to the west. They have designed and built a main visitor entrance, but have not yet opened the entrance. They don't intend to install the sign I at this point, but want the ability to erect the sign at the visitors entrance without having to come back for another approvaL Mr. Brunmeier explained that the sign will not be lighted and will contain the company logo and lettering. He stated he is unsure of the exact size but it will be I comparable to the sign on the other end of the building with black acrylic lettering and green ball which is their standard logo. I Councilmember Hicks asked if the signs will exceed 100 square feet each. Mr. Brunmeier stated that neither sign wi II exceed 100 square feet. He clarified that when the City approved the entire building, a sign was approved on that elevation and he wants to retain that approval without .. having to reapply in the future. Mr. Brunmeier reported that the company is now incorporated and the owners have changed their name. I MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #97- 23, Manufacturer's Service, U.S. Operations (MS), 4300 Round Lake Road, for a sign relocation as recommended by the Planning Commission to allow for two I wall signs (west wall and northeast wall). I It was noted that the 100 square foot restriction is not being included in the motion since it is a Code requirement. I In response to Councilmember Malone, Mr. Brunmeier reviewed the types of directional signage they will utilize and explained that none will be erected until the street work is completed. Mr. Ringwald explained fhat directional signage can be approved administratively. I Councilmember Malone inquired regarding the situation should this tenant sublease to other tenants who need additional signage. I Mr. Brunmeier stated he understands another permit would be required and indicated that it is not their intention to sublease space to another tenant since they will need the space for expansion. I The motion carried unanimously (5-0). ,. I
