Miller, Jessica <br /> From: Annie Deckert <annie @decklangroup.com> <br /> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2013 10:31 AM <br /> To: Carlton, Zachary <br /> Cc: Fischer, Suzanne; Portner, Cal <br /> Subject: Planning Commission meeting 11-12-13 <br /> Good morning, <br /> After reading through the Planning Commission's packet for Tuesday's meeting and seeing staff's comments I think it is very <br /> important that you understand that this sign is not being placed in a "foot traffic thoroughfare" and it is no way meant to try and <br /> capitalize on traffic that is already on Main Street, either in a vehicle or on foot. The point and purpose of this sign is to gain the <br /> attention and make Downtown's presence known to motorists traveling West bound on Hwy 10 who might otherwise never be <br /> exposed to what Main Street has to offer. The sign dimensions outlined in the Planning Commission packet would offer little to no <br /> visibility from West Bound Hwy 10. Again, Downtown businesses have no need to further advertise to traffic and pedestrians that <br /> are already on Main Street with this type of signage. <br /> I would like to remind you that this project has the overwhelming support of the Downtown District, The Downtown River's Edge <br /> Business Association, The Historic Preservation Commission, The Elk River Area Chamber of Commerce, and numerous <br /> respected and prolific Elk River residents. We have yet to be given any reason why this project cannot happen, or should not <br /> happen. <br /> Below are a couple of options to consider which would result in Granite Shores building a sign to meet their needs, while <br /> addressing staff's concerns. <br /> Sec. 30-872. DD downtown district <br /> (b) <br /> (18)-One monument sign per permitted multi-tenant property. A total of.50 feet in height per one linear foot of primary structure <br /> height not to exceed 20 feet in height. A total of.30 square feet per one lineal foot of primary structure width not to exceed 80 <br /> square feet in sign face area. Sign face may consist of changeable copy or animated signage. <br /> This could also read: <br /> (b) <br /> (18)-One monument sign per permitted multi-tenant property. A total of one foot in height per two linear foot of primary <br /> structure height not to exceed 20 feet in height. A total of one square foot per three lineal feet of primary structure width not to <br /> exceed 80 square feet in sign face area. Sign face may consist of changeable copy or animated signage. <br /> 1 <br />
