Roseville, MN 55113 (c(o[p1f Dear Mr. Renner: When we discussed the potential signage for your building, I promised to let you know what would be allowed under the standards of the Roseville City Code. The building is in the B-2 zoning district; the requirements are as follows: 1) Wall Signs. Signage on the building is allowed for an area of at least 100 square feet or 4% of the front building elevation, whichever is greater. The front face of your building is about 1,870 square feet, 4% of that is 75 square feet, so the 100-square-foot minimum would apply. This means you can have signage on any face of the building - front, sides, or back - as long as the total of all the signs does not exceed the maximum square footage. In addition, there is a bonus of 1/2 square foot of sign area for each lineal foot in excess of 60 feet that the sign is set back from the center line of the frontage street. The front face of your building is set back 73 feet from the center line of Lexington Avenue, or 13 feet in excess of 60, for a bonus of 6.5 square feet. The bottom line is that you would be allowed 106.5 square feet of wall signage on your present building. 2) Pylon Sign. One pylon sign per building per street frontage is allowed, also no greater than 100 square feet in area, and no more than 25 feet in height, set back at least 30 feet from the front property line (the current right-of-way line for Lexington Avenue) and 10 feet from either of the side lot lines. As we discussed, you have several options: 1) Pursue the pylon sign variance you have already applied for. Given the feeling on the .' Planning Commission and City Council, you are almost certain to be denied. "
