to a property line adjacent to County Road and an 8 sign lO feet from the property line adjacent to County Road B. 5.4 Other previous projects receiving variances to sign regulations include: Roseville Shopping Center (1998), Har Mar Mall (1995), SuperAmerica at 2785 Hamline Avenue (1999), B-Dale Club at 2100 Dale Street (2004), North Heights Church/School (2004), and Rosedale Square (2004), with only the B-Dale Club, Har Mar Mall, and Rosedale Square being approved through a variance versus the PUD process. 5.5 The proposed free standing ground (monument) signs will be constructed with color impregnated, two tone, split-faced concrete masonry material of a similar color to that of the Super Target and Perkins structures. 5.6 The Super Target site includes 2 similarly sized signs, both 20 feet in height and including approximately 100 sq. ft. of signage. The sign proposed adjacent to Snelling Avenue is a multi-tenant sign with a 10 foot split-faced concrete block base, including 25 sq. ft. of signage (15 sq. ft. for Perkins and 10 sq. ft. for a outlot tenant) and a 10 foot Super Target logo. The sign proposed adjacent to County Road B is a multi-tenant sign with a 10 foot split-faced concrete block base, including 16 sq. ft. of signage (for an outlot tenant), and a 10 foot Super Target logo. Both signs are 12 feet taller than the ground sign allowance. 5.7 The Perkins site will include 1 sign that will stand 8 feet in height. The sign will include a 4 foot base and a 6 foot "Perkins" sign. The sign is to be located adjacent to County Road B, 10 feet north from the property line - a 5 foot encroachment into the required setback. 5.8 The City Planner interprets the proposed signs to be ground signs or what is more commonly referred to as a monument sign. Hence, based of the Code the two large ground/monument signs on the Super Target require a 12 foot VARIANCE to Section 1009.03M (height) and that the Perkins ground/monument sign requires a 5 foot VARIANCE to Section 1009.03M (location), because of its 10 foot setback. 5.9 In Section 1013 the Code states ..... Where there are practical difficulties or unusual hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this code, the Variance Board shall have the power, in a specific case and after notice and public hearings, to vary any such provision in harmony with the general purpose and intent thereof and may impose such additional conditions as it considers necessary so that the public health, safety, and general welfare may be secured and substantial justice done.
