September 6, 1977 Mr. Gordon Fox Kraus-Anderson, Inc. 525 So. 8th St. Minneapolis, MN 55404 Re: Signing at Shopping Center (Tom Thumb) 1431-1433 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN Dear Mr. Fox: A few months ago we met to discuss the signing problems at the above noted location. The particular problem in this case is that the Razor Edge Barber Shop has erected a permanent window sign, which does require a sign permit. A permit cannot be issued at this time as these are signing non-conformities on the property. I informed you at that time that the Council was considering certain revisions to the sign ordinance that could possibly have an effect on this particular situation. While revisions regarding the basic signing for a center such as this were not made, revisions to the sign ordinance relative to non-conforming signs were made. The basic sign regulations for a building such as this are attached (c. Buildings having multiple occupancy). In regards to sign non-conformities the ordinance now states that new sign permits may be issued when: 1. At least (50) per cent of all signing and/or billboard non-conformities on the property are eliminated prior to issuance of sign permits, the new signing would add no signing non-conformities, and all remaining sign and/or billboard non-conform- ities are eliminated within five years of permit issuance. In order to demonstrate compliance a plan of existing and proposed signing and/or billboards must be presented to the administrative authority prior to any relocation, m09ification, or erection of signing and/or billboards,and no permit shall be issued until proposed sign and/or billboard removals have taken place. Further said plan shall include a schedule for elimination of all remaining sign and/or billboard non-conformities within five (5) years.
