•t I <br />PLANNING REPORT <br />CASE NUMBER: 81-1335 <br />APPLICANT: Fitness and Wei lght Tiaisning? Inc. <br />LOCATION: South 'of County -Road B, West - of Dale <br />Street <br />ACTION REQUESTED. Vdriance to Sign Location <br />PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: <br />1. Fitness and Weight Training, Inc. operate's a physical conditioning" ng" shop <br />on Excelsior Boulevard- in Saint Louis Park and is owned by Milt Sunde <br />(Vikings Football) . They propose to e_icpand their operation and set- up a <br />new shop in Rosevlll� at the B-Dale Shopping Center south of county' Road B, <br />The space was form rly occupied by a beauty parlor which had their sign, <br />on the wall where the' new occupants propose to install a new window. They <br />therefore request to install a sign Identifying their business on the roof <br />in line` with other signs that currently identify the businesses in <br />this shopping strip., <br />2. The problem is, that these roof signs are not allowed in Roseville though. <br />roof signs were installed on all the other businesses in this strip some <br />years ago. The existing signs are 1:e,qalr non-conforming meaning that they <br />can remain in pl ace ,but not be expanded. Therefore, a variance is' <br />necessary if we are to allow the new sign to be constructed in iine with <br />the others on the roof. <br />It would appear that p�acing the new sign in line with the others would <br />be appropriate, and probably look better than leaving the gap that now <br />exists above the store in question. <br />3. Attached is a statement from Fitness and Weight Training,,- Inc. outlining <br />their request, Attached also is a sketch site plan of the shopping <br />center and a front elevation of the store and proposed sign, <br />
