3 Rick Salmin <br />� Mr. Salmin is the developer and owner of the Hom Oak and Leather <br />shop located west of Snelling and north of Rainbow Foods. Mr. <br />Salmin is proposing to process a sign variance for both the size <br />and location of a pylon sign to identify his business. He <br />informed us that in the initial weeks that he has been open for <br />business, he has received as many as one dozen calls from <br />custome�s that are unable to find his business. We reviewed a <br />s�rie� of pictures that have been t�ken from various points <br />coming bath north and south along Snelling Aven��e lookin� toward <br />th� Hom Oak and Leather facilit�. We described for him a process <br />that we re�ommend he follow in determi�ing, first of all, wriere <br />the optimum lQcation Eor th� sign should be and the size of the <br />pylan siqn �hat would be necess�ry �o ensure adequate <br />visi�ility. Without this type of analysi�, we felt that neither <br />th� Planning Commis�ion nor the City Council would have the <br />i»�ormation �ha� Chay need to really identify and determine 1) <br />w��th�c � hs�dsh�p Qxist� in th� c�rrer�t sftuation, or 2) what a <br />rQ�sane�l� amount �f fl�xib3lity in the c�ty�� sig� standards <br />wou�d bo r�quirad to �llow this businoss to bo �uccessful in this <br />loc�tion. �� �g��Q� to follow our ��rection and explain�d that <br />th�y �oui� b� �u�mitting an applic�tion for a sign vari�nce by <br />the and �� tih� mon�h. <br />4.
