f ~y <br />- '4 .. - <br />1` <br />Publ:.c Hearing <br />VN-146 <br />September 9, 1975 <br />8x10 PM <br />Reauest> Variance to .permit modification to existing ground sign <br />on I-35W and.. erection of new directory sign on 5th St. PJTnT <br />Applicant: E-2 Mini Storage <br />Loca~tione ?51 5th St, N[nT <br />Discussion: <br />the property in question is considered a building of multiple - <br />occupancies having individual entrances and for. purposes of signing, <br />is governed by Section 1!~-2.00 paragraph; (c) of the Zoning Code; <br />Briefly what is allowed in the wad of signing, are individual <br />wal signs for each tenant and a directory sign identifying only _ <br />the building as a whole. The applicant is requesting a :aariance <br />because in thiscase, he wishes to have two signs, one of which is <br />a directory sign, aril therefore, is not permitted by the ordinance, <br />the other sign identifies an individual tenant in addition to the <br />_ proposal to revise it so as to indicate more generally the activities _ <br />occuring in the center. In addition, the existing ground sign on the <br />35W side exceeds in size the limits in the~sign ordinance. <br />The reasons.-for the request of-two signs are basically the fact <br />of the property .being located on the freeway and needing to identify <br />the general location to the freeway. Many of the individual <br />businesses in the center feel .that they need this identification and <br />the alternative is toprovde it by means of a single sign or by <br />means of individual signs fcr each tenant.. The former seems to be <br />,much preferable as it will vastly reduce the amount of sign clatter <br />on the property. The problem for the tenants, however, is to confirm <br />to people trying to find their location that once they have left the <br />freeway and-reach 5th St. that they are at the correct place. The <br />buildings sit far off 5th St. and are not extremely visible. The <br />directory sign will serve the function of .directing people into the - <br />center rather. than having them ride up and down the streets looking <br />for the location. <br />Two conditions that we would suggest be put ,on the request area <br />
