NW~: <br />side read-ing "New`Brighton Furniture, Inc<" above <br />windows and externally lighting the requested wall signs <br />on 5th Avee and 10th St. and to allow repainting of <br />). - <br />' existngground sign as shown on the attached sheet <br />Apglieant-: Edti~~ard Rybak/New Brighton ::Furniture, Inc. <br />- ~Loc'ation :: 948 5th Ave. NW (SU7 'corner of 5th eve . NW ana 10th <br />Street Nt^~ <br />Discussion• <br />-.The application is essentially the same as the one reviewed <br />by: the Council in November. .Because of an error in the processing <br />of the application where ,the property. owner, Edward Rybak, did <br />-not sign the application,. the Council voided the whole-proceedings <br />and;~+ir. Rybak has chosen to apply for the variance as requiree? by <br />the Zoning Code. The situation. with regard to the non-conformities <br />in the signing on the property remains as it was at the time of <br />the previous variance application so that rather than reproduce <br />this entire discussion, we have simply attached the discussion <br />in regard to~VN-150. Some additional discussion is necessary, <br />howPVer. <br />One issue involved here which is not explicitly discussed <br />is the question of whether repainting a sign in such a way as to <br />change the wording or the size of the wording should be eonsic~e.rec~ <br />a "mo.dificatinn" of the sign as that term is used in Section 1~'•-?_.10 <br />If such repainting. is a modification, then a permit is required <br />_ and also a variance if there are non-conforming signs on the <br />premises. If such repainting is not a modification, then it <br />would be a repair and would only require a permit if the. cost <br />exceeded $50. In the case in question, if repainting were. not.. <br />a modification, it might be possible for the furniture store to <br />.repaint its signs without need of a permit or a variance. <br />We would also like to note that the Planning Commission <br />recommendation on-this application differed slightly from its <br />' recommendation on-VN-150 and from the Council's action on VN-150.' <br />The: differences are as foilowss <br />1 <br />
