city of <br /> Elk • <br /> River <br /> May 8, 1996 <br /> Gregory Fast <br /> Nordquist Sign Company, Inc. <br /> 312 West Lake Street <br /> Minneapolis, MN 55408 <br /> RE: Sign permit application for North Suburban Orthopaedics & <br /> Sports Medicine <br /> Dear Mr. Fast: <br /> As I indicated during our phone conversation this afternoon, the City of Elk <br /> River is denying your sign permit application based on the following: <br /> • 1. The Elk River Sign Ordinance allows a total sign area of one (1) square <br /> foot per linear foot of the building frontage. According to the site plan <br /> submitted, North Suburban Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine has <br /> approximately 21 feet of building frontage. If we assume that the facility <br /> has double frontage, this allows 42 square feet of sign area. You have <br /> requested 104.25 square feet, which is more than twice the allowable sign <br /> area. <br /> 2. The Sign Ordinance also states that no one sign shall exceed 64 square <br /> feet. The proposed sign over the main entrance is 74.25 square feet, <br /> which exceeds the guidelines by over 10 feet. <br /> 3. The existing sign is a non-conforming use because of its size. This use is <br /> allowed until replacement of the sign is required, as it is now, and then <br /> the new sign must meet the ordinance requirements. <br /> Enclosed you will find your sign application and check for $60.00. If you have <br /> any additional questions, please contact me at 441-4917. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • `_ , <br /> r <br /> Kendra Lindahl <br /> Zoning Assistant <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
