Planr~in~ Coordinator City of Idcw Brighton >~03 5th Ave. rr.ta. Idew Brighton, Minnesota 55112 Aear Mr. Johnson: You recently suggested we inspect any signage in the Polynesian Village at New Brighton to asli for acceptance of the three signs by your City Council, Planning and Toning Commission. Ply original letter of April 7, 1975 quite completely spelled out the importance to us of having visabl.e identification to the freeway as this has prov~.d to be critical to renting at Polynesian Village. I1ot as critical, but important to identification is a well designed attractive sign at the entrance to Polynesian Village at 7th Street. This sign fits the proposed schedule. of 35 square feat with an attached hanger at the bottom. Idot quite as important i.s a 35 square foot sign at the entrance to Polynesian V il.lage from 10th Street. This si};n was installed primarily as a convenience to those driving in 10th Street. It is hidden from view but does notify anyone coming that far that they are entering Polynesian Village and not continuing ~t}bough on a maQjor street. Regarding our sign on tree freeway; I have driven this a number of times recently and do find., to make note of telephone numbers, vacancy information, name, it is necessary to be quits close to the sign. ' Barry; 3*ou and I tallied about this the other day. A number of municipalities },rxvc; :>~ilI1C181."L•iZ'I,eCI tii,c:ir signage for apr~riments uy occupants or units. I believe ?•linresroli~~ ;ets thoi,• l.r.:its at or:^ quarc fool,: Ii~r resident or unit. Possibly you folks have tallied about something of that order. In apartment rentals turnover is as critical. as occupancy and the larger apartment dovelopnents must continually hate viseability to passing prospects. Isle find those passing by are the most ODVlol13 prospects as the fact they are drivin}; by indicates they have a reason f'or being in the area. Unless there should be so:r.e objections I would appreciate continuing with the signage we now have as it has proved effective but. would like to start our Spring prxint-ups to keep everything fresh and current. Your interest, .help and suggestions have, and al~~rays will, be appreciated. WM~mtf Sincerely, -~.. Bill Tic Goni;*al !f Acting Secretary Polynesian Village Investment Co.
