Bob Sherloc i at additional signage for the Union 76 station at the northwest corner of County Road B and Snelling. They have a 6'x12' Union 76 sign (7'L sq- f�•)► and want to add a 5'x10' price sign. This sign is located 6' from the building right-of-way, and allows for a maximum of 64 sq. ft. Bob noted that they have on the site a 4�' x6' readerboard (w�ll mounted) , 2 16' x8° wall signs (Union) , �� si s i 2'x5' price sign on pole, 1 6'xl2' identi-- 2 2 a3 single-face canopy 5n ► si ns on canopy poles. fication sign on 14' pole� and 2 2'x6' milk and P an d i n f o r m e d them that the We noted which of these signs are noncon forming, addii:ional reacierboard sign, if pursued, would require a variance. 2) Krause - 636-4390. Brer►dt Krause is a builder, who proposes to put an extension on a Cort building, directly east o.f the Red Lobster restauran�: This is a building that was built for retail sales, and has 13,420 �o'ase This building lines up with the restaurants on either side. TheY P P to add a 2,000 sq. ft. addition on the front of the building, using "dEcorator" concrete block. A variance to paz�cing xequirements would be required. Brendt noted the owners have been thinking of putting in a restaurant, which we encourage strongly inasmuch as it is a better use for the land. We suggest�d the building protruding in front of the others could be a problem in site plan approval, and that the adding of an addition with mate rials dissimil�r from the existing structure would Ue a major problem and a mistake. 3) Heikenen - 341-4444. Mr. Quertell, Robert Carrweredinetogdiscussbthe, representing Hertz-Penske ta��heesoutheast�corner of Walnut and County usE of Heikenen's p roperty Road C for a Hertz truck rental operatio�i. This is a si�:e formerly ope rated by Trans-America truck repair facilities. We discussed the requirements for a special use permiL- for the site, inc].uding drainage, curb requiremen•ts, parking lot surface, signage, and access to the public street on th� east side of the p roperty, which is the .former location o� Walnut Street. They came back a week later with revised pJ_ans, conforming to the basic considerations we h ad outlinecl at the previous me�ting. They will be applying for the special use permit for referral at the August 8th meeting of the Council. It appears the propos�l, if developed as planned, will b� workable, and will constitute a substantial improvement of the appearance of the site. j
