e ROSEVILLE PLANNING OFFICE HOURB 9,�18/91 � sign, which is approximately 6' x 12', that would mean a total sign height of 38'. If the Commission and Council were to accept this approach to signage for his site and grant a variance, these dimensions would be reasonable ones to apply. I also informed him of Councilmember Maschka's request for a discussion among the various property owners in the area who are faced with a similar situation, in order to see if there might be a solution involving common signage instead of individual variances (Rick Jopke is arranging that meeting). Mr. Platt said he would participate in such a discussion, but didn't see a way it could be easily resolved, or even whether all properties had the same problem that he did. For example, the Stuart Anderson Cattle Company sign is reasonably visible already (albeit not placed according to the approved site plan), Khan's Barbeque has a'window' of vfsibility between Investors and the Olive Garden restaurant, and the carpet outlet store may not have the same need for drive-by visibility. Investors Savings, Olive Garden, and Roseville Community Bank are n�t hidden in the way Fuddruckers is, and probably would not be willing to give up their current signage for common signage • elsewhere. 3. Gary and Sue Cormican The Cormicans live in a single family hame at the southwest corner of County Road D and Evelyn Street. Their back yard, to the west of the house, slopes quickly down and a�ay from the house into a City drainage pond, leaving then�, essentially, without a useable back yard. They want to fEnce a portion of their yard for their large dog to run in, and are left with the yar3 facing County Road D as the only reasonable option. They came in to discuss a possible variance in order to build a 6' cyclone fence (taller than the 4' alloweu� within the 30' setback to County Road D. We explained the ration��,le for the fence se�back within the overall yard requirements and ui�ed them to cansider building a�ence some distance back from the lot line to allow some visual relief, and to add some evergreen landscaping in front of the fenc� instead oP the colored slats in the f��ce �that they we�re proposing. It w�s agreed that they will apply Por a variance leaving at least 10' of setback from th� fence to County Road D and 25' to �velyn (the exi�ting front s�t��ck), both frontages �to be landscaped wi�h evergreen trees to provide reasonable screen'ng of the fenced area. �
