ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—May 11, 2009 16 the applicants and tenants are proposing this as a temporary solution until the redevelopment of the site takes place. At that time a permanent solution can be found and the sign standard adjustment would no longer be needed. Councilmember Holden stated that Recommendation 6 stated that the sign standard adjustment shall expire upon the implementation of a new monument sign on the site or within two years. She asked which monument sign the recommendation was referencing because the first monument sign was going to be on the corner. City Planner Beekman stated that there is an assumption that when the redevelopment takes place the monument signs would be placed simultaneously. Councilmember Holden asked if this would then reference the sign on County Road E. City Planner Beekman stated when a permanent sign solution was placed then the temporary sign usage would end. Councilmember Holden stated that this recommendation should state the monument sign on County Road E. Councilmember McClung asked how much visibility a 6 square foot A-frame sign is going to get when the only placement for this sign is beyond the entrance. He also asked to verify that neon signs were against the City's sign code. City Planner Beekman stated that this was correct. Councilmember McClung asked if an acceptable condition for acceptance of this would be to stipulate that if Wellington or one of sits tenants places any additional sign then this agreement should be nullified. City Planner Beekman stated that this could be stated as a condition and it would be helpful to have more specific language referencing code compliance added to the agreement. Councilmember McClung stated that he would suggest that if the City sites them for violating the code this would nullify the agreement. Councilmember Holmes stated that if this is an agreement among the tenants then it could state that the particular tenant who made the violation could not put up any additional signs. One violation should not nullify the agreement for all the tenants.
