1 differing forms of relief from Section 1009.03M. This Section of the Code is also one that has 2 been discussed in the past for revision – a process currently under way. However, it is a number 3 of months from formal review and possible approval. 4 5 The Staff recommended approval of a 4 foot height variance from Section 1009.03M of the City 6 Code Sign Section (General Provisions - Ground Sign)to allow the installation of a 12 foot tall 7 Ground Sign adjacent to Fairview Avenue based on the findings in Section 5 and the following 8 conditions: 9 10 a. The Love from Minnesota/Dunn Bros. Coffee sign shall be limited to a height of 11 12 feet. 12 13 b. The Ground Sign must be installed/constructed a minimum of 15 feet west of the 14 property line adjacent to 2465 Fairview Avenue. 15 16 c. The Ground Sign must have a minimum base of 18 inches or greater. 17 18 d. Signage for the sign shall be consistent with Section 1009.08E or not more than 19 100 square feet. 20 21 e. The ground area around the base must include landscaping of which low growing 22 shrubs and\\or perennials is recommended. 23 24 f. The variance (if granted) will expire within 6 months of its approval if a sign 25 permit is not issued (Section 1013.03). 26 27 Chairperson Mary Bakeman asked what signage would be available for the third tenant, “Wine 28 Time”. (It will have only building wall signage, as part of the Love From Minnesota store.) She 29 asked if there were traffic direction signage especially for the “drive through” traffic. (This is part 30 of the final site plan and conditional use permit approval requirements.) 31 32 Member Pust asked if the sign will have 2 faces. Will this create a line of sight conflict? (The sign 33 is proposed 15 feet behind – west of - the front property line which is 15 to 20 feet behind – west 34 of- the curb line. Will there be traffic sight visibility problems at the corner? (No, because the 35 setbacks all meet the requirements of the Code and they do allow for corner triangle vision where 36 needed.) 37 38 Member Boerigter asked if the sign area was within the allowable signage for the site (yes). 39 40 Steve Chinander, applicant and owner of the Love From Minnesota businesses, explained the 41 “Wine Time’ connection as a subsidiary to Love From Minnesota. The existing awning on the 42 site will be retained with signage. 43 44 Chair Bakeman closed the hearing. 45 46 Motion: Member Boerigter, moved, second by Member Pust to adopt a resolution 47 approving a 4 foot height variance to Section 1009.03m (General Provisions – Ground Sign) 48 of the Roseville City Code for Love from Minnesota, 2465 Fairview Avenue, based on the 49 findings in Section 5 and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated November 2, 50 2005. 51 Page 2 of 3
