<br />Camegaran, LLC - Schoolhouse Square Sign Variance <br />City Council Memo - August 2, 2004 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />buildings sit close to the street and parking is either behind the buildings or on other blocks <br />altogether. Staff contacted the Planning Department to get additional information on how <br />the signage was determined for that site. Maple Grove permits Planned Unit Developments <br />(PUD) in commercial areas as well as residential ones. This allowed the development to <br />submit a 'sign package' for the site to the City for review and approval. Enclosed is the <br />Arbor Lakes Sign Criteria that is used to guide signage on the Main Street development. <br />There are no size limits on the signs listed, but there are style guidelines for how the signs <br />should look. <br /> <br />Another area that has similar signage is Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Mr. Regan brought <br />pictures to the Planning Commission as examples, and those pictures are included in your <br />packet. <br /> <br />Mr. Regan gave the Planning Commission four criteria that he feels the Green Mill/Dunn <br />Bros. building meets that sets this building apart from others in the C-3 zoning district. They <br />are: <br /> <br />. 100% brick construction <br />. All four sides 'finished' - no 'back side'. <br />. Distinctive historic design on a new building. <br />. All required parking met on-site - no on street parking allowed. <br /> <br />., ~ ........- <br />
