Two of these schools, Valentine Hills Elementary located at 1770 <br />County Road E2 and Mounds View High School located at 1900 Lake Valentine Road, are <br />located within the City of Arden Hills and are subject to site plan review. If the plan is approved <br />nine new banner signs would be installed on light posts that line the circle drive entrance of <br />Mounds View High School. These banners would be visible from Lake Valentine Road. In <br />addition, ten new banner signs would be installed on light posts at Valentine Hills Elementary; <br />four along the sidewalk nearest the front door and six in the parking lot. The banner signs would <br />be made of vinyl, be double-sided, and measure eight square feet (two feet by four feet). There <br />would be one sign per light post. The applicants have submitted a letter fully explaining their <br />request along with pictures of the proposed banners as well as site plans indicating where they <br />will be placed on each site (Attachment 4M-2). <br /> <br />The sign code does not specifically address non-commercial banner signs on school property <br />such as is proposed by the applicant. However, Section 1260.01 of the sign code allows for sign <br />standard adjustments through the site plan review process, provided that specific criteria can be <br />met. Section 1260.01 states: <br /> <br />\\AhdocsllAH\AHdata\Planning\Planning Cases\2007\07-028 Mounds View Site Plan Review (PC Approval)\102907 - CC Report - Mounds <br />View Site Plan Review.doc <br /> <br />Page 1 of3 <br />
