J of 52 feet. The entrance area itself is 13x20 feet. They propose to put signage on this awning which would total 324 total . square feet. On the north side, there are additional signs {2) on the building totalling 64 square feet, thus the total square footage on the north side of the }auilding and the proposed sign would be 298 square feet. There is additional signage on the south side as well, though Mr. McLeczko was not aware of that actual square footage. This site has a signage allowance on the building of 150 square feet whici� includes an allowance for additional area because of its large setback along Snelling Avenue. We informed Mr. McLeczko that if the awning were over a walk way, that just a portion of the awning would have to be figured for signage. For �his purpose, the ordinance states that the sign area should be measured 6" around the periphery of the lette�s. kiowever, if the "araning" is merely an extension to the building and back lit with siqnage, then it becomes an "attention qetting devi.ce" (as described in the ordinance) and thus, must be measur�d as signage. We suggested that if he take the signs off the awnings on th� sides, then we could use the 6" rule �or measurement around the siqn in front. Another m�thod would be to r�move some of the signage from the sides of the building to reduce the s�gn area . Karl Keel also notsd the problem of �he "ac�ning" as p�roposea which would extend above the roof line and would create a design � and code problem f4r the roof structur�. Wh�rever such a parapet i� buil� above a flat roof, the roof has to be d�s,igned to handle a much larger snow load th�n a normal �0 �er square foot, W� �ugc�ested, therefo�e, that it would E�� imperative th�t th�y ha�ve a prafessional enqaneer an�lyze the structure so as to m�kQ sur� that this portion oP th� code is h�n�dl�d. �a�ed on �rris information, he is qoing to discuss this wi�h his clier�t and consider ad�ustments to the plan to meet the building coda and sign ordinance. 3.
