put to a reasonable and practical use under the official controls, if the two variances are granted. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Press Gym has virtually no visibility from Snelling and limited visibility from Oakcrest A venue since the construction of the Sunrise Assisted Living facility and the installation of a privacy fence along the north property line adjacent to the west parking lot. These unique circumstances make it difficult to direct potential members to the Press Gym as well as provide business identification. The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner (structure placement prior to code, new Sunrise building location, screening and topographic issues). 5.9 The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The installation of a second sign at or near the front yard property line of the Sunrise Assisted Living facility will not be out of character with other similar properties such as churches and schools, which have multiple signs to identify the different uses within the structure. The Community Development Staff has determined that this variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Staff recommends approval of a 14 foot front yard VARIANCE to Section 1009.03M and Section 1009.04A2 of the Roseville City Code for Sunrise Assisted Living and Dan Stock (Press Gym) to allow the installation of a second monument sign at 2555 Snelling Avenue, subject to the following conditions: A. The sign must be no larger than 48 square feet in size and of a V -shaped design with 2 - 4 foot by 6 foot sign panels. B. The sign must be installed a minimum of 1 foot from the property line adjacent to Snelling A venue in the northeast portion of the parcel. C. The review and approval of a sign permit must be consistent with the approved plans and variances. 7.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 7.1 On August 6, 2003, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Press Gym variance request. At the hearing no citizens addressed the Commission, but the Commission did have questions of staff and applicant. Specifically, the Planning Commission was interested in the possibilities of lighting for the sign and effects sign would have being along a walking path adjacent to Snelling A venue.
