Community Development Department 651-490-2279 . fax: 651-490-2931 November 9,2001 Ms. Kristine A. Schisel Leasing Manager Heritage Property Investment Trust 2100 Snelling Avenue Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Signage Allowance for Har Mar Mall. Dear Ms. Schisel: Thank you for your patience during the City's review of signage at Har Mar Mall. I have had the opportunity to review past correspondence outlining the color-coded signage allowances for the Mall; I have reviewed the infonnation I requested regarding the size of each facade at the Mall and photos of all existing signage; I have reviewed recent sign pennits and facade modifications; and I reviewed the Roseville City Code, Section lO09.08E and F as applicable to the Mall. I am aware that signage is an important topic for the Heritage Property Investment Trust, especially how signage limits are allocated on each ofthe building elevations (facades) ofthe Mall. In the past, through a color-coded site plan, signage was allocated at a specified amount, though City records do not establish the exact amount for each building facade. On a number of occasions I have discussed with you and former employee Tim Prinsen the history of Har Mar signage and my concern over a document that cannot be substantiated by a fonnalletter of support/approval. I have completed the following assessment of Har Mar Mall. The Mall facade signage analysis is broken down into a north, south, east, and west identity. I have also provided analysis on the free standing sites of Firestone and Ground Round, and all pylon and monument signage. CITY CODE - BUILDING FACADE REQUIREMENTS: · The Roseville City Code, Section 1009.08E, allows signage in a Shopping Center District (SC) at 10% of the building elevation with street frontage or 200 square feet, whichever is greater. · Section lO09,08F reads: Wall signage for tenant spaces on portions of buildings that do not front a public street shall be allowed an area of wall signage not to exceed one-half (1/2) the allowable area of wall signage for the affected building. This Section is interpreted by the Community Development Department to mean 5% of the total.
