Planning File 838 - McDonald's Request for Variance to Sign Setback at 2075 North Snelling Avenue Presentation Mr. Jack Lawrence of Signcrafters indicated that the existing McDonalds sign was constructed prior to the sign ordinance and is located on the property line. McDonald's proposes to construct a new sign which would be located 15 feet from the property line. The code requirement is 30 feet. The proposed sign would meet the height and size requirements of the ordinances. The variance is needed so that the sign can be seen from Snelling Avenue. Mr. Lawrence indicated that the McDonald Corporation is putting pressure on the local owner to construct the proposed sign which is the same being used by McDonalds through- out the country. Discussion Mr. V. Johnson inquired as to whether the requirement for the new sign was part of the contract between the local owner and the McDonald's corporation. MY, Lawrence responded that he thought it was. Mr, V. Johnson expressed concern that when the new McDonald's had been constructed the Commission had been told that no new sign was going to be constructed because of the expense and actually McDonald's knew at that time that they were going to have to con- struct the sign. He stated that if the new sign had been constructed when McDonald's was built that it may have made a difference on the variances for other signs which have recently been constructed in the area. Mr. Grauel indicated that he thought the proposed sign was a marked improvement over the existing sign. Recommendation Mr. Grauel moved and Mr. Durgin seconded, that the Comnission recomnend approval of McDonald's restaurant request for variance to sign setback at 2075 North Snelling Avenue. Roll Call, Ayes: Grauel, V. Johnson, Kellett, Membrez, Durgin and G, Johnson. Nays: None.
