Planning File 906 - Richard Schulze request for variance to sign setback at 2901 Snelling Avenue Presentation Mr. Richard Schulze, Manager of the Sound of MJsic Store, indicated that they need better exposure for their operation. He stated that the variance is needed primarily because the Arby's sign is located so far to the east and would block the Sound of Music sign if it were placed in compliance with the code requirements. Discussion Mr. G. Johnson indicated that the present location of the Color Tile sign, also located on the property is very poor and very dangerous for cars attempt- ing to park. Mr. Richard Casey, Vice President of the Sound of M.1sic, indicated that Color Tile has stated they do not desire to reIIDve their existing sign and that they are not willing to share a pylon sign. He commented that the Sound of M.1sic does not want another pylon sign in the middle of the parking lot such as Color Tile. Mr. V. Johnson commented that he would be more inclined to vote for variances for a pylon having both Color Tile and Sound of M.1sic signs rather than two separate pylon signs on the site. Mr. Casey stated that the Sound of M.1sic had made many efforts to work with the Color Tile parent corporation (Tandy) for sharing a sign but to date they have been totally unsuccessful. Mr. Grauel asked if the applicant would be willing to convey to the Tandy Corporation, the Planning Commission concerns regarding the variance and attempt to work out some solution with them. Mr. Casey responded that they certainly would be willing to do that but was not hopeful of being -successful.
