<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sil!na2e. <br />The wording on this subject presented to the Council last year allowed for one <br />freestanding monument sign at the Highway 96 entrance, with each unit 10 have fifteen <br />(15) square feet of signage including a I square foot address and name plaque adjacent to <br />the main entry for lhe unit. End units corresponding to units I, 9, 10 and 18 in the curren I <br />proposed development could have a total of thirty (30) square feet of signage but no more <br />lhan fifteen (15) square fcet to lhe north (facing Highway (6) and no more than fifteen <br />(15) square feet at the front of the units. <br />However, after several council members expressed dissatisfaction with this, the wording <br />about individual units was amended unanimously to state "that the signage docs not <br />exceed 2 x 2 and this [to] corne back to thc Council ft,r final approval." There was no <br />mention in the resolution as amended of any variance fi)r the units now numbered], 9, ] 0 <br />and 18, nor any discussion whatsoever by the Council of a large sign facing llighway 96 <br />on the north wall of units 19-23.1\1r. Ebensteiner is quoted in the Council minutes as <br />stating he decided to go along wilh 2 x 2 signs outside the doors. <br />In view of all this, we strongly urge that apparent Council intent to allow each unit only 4 <br />square feet of signage be retained in place of the 20 square feet stated in the first two <br />bullet-point paragraphs of the Staff recommended Condition 25, and that the third and <br />fourth bullet-point paragraphs regarding additional signage for units I, 9, 10, and] 8 and <br />for units 19-23 be struck out. We support the intent of the final three bullet-point <br />paragraphs in recommended Condition 25. <br /> <br />In summary, we respectfillly request that if you approve lhe requested Master and final <br />PUD and Preliminary Plat proposal including Hamline Avenue access, you do so only <br />after adopting the Staff recommended Conditions 6 and 7 on occupancy and use, <br />Conditions 24 and 26 on acccss with Right-in and Right-out only, and Condition 25 on <br />signagc amended as we have advocated above. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Board of Directors <br />Ardcn Hills North Homes Association <br /> <br />President <br /> <br />July 27, 2006 <br />
