Memo to Planning Commission/CU 02-05 <br /> March 26,2002 <br /> Page 2 <br /> III <br /> pharmacy entrance and pharmacy drive-thru.The"Cub"sign over the new entrance was not <br /> included as part of that application nor was it included as part of the original PUD Sign <br /> Agreement. <br /> On March 5th the applicant was issued a sign permit for the pharmacy sign over the new <br /> entrance (71 square feet) and the pharmacy drive-thru sign (119 square feet). <br /> The proposed "Cub" sign is 5 feet high by 11'9" long (58.75 square feet). It will consist of <br /> individual letters mounted on a raceway.For comparison the existing"Cub"sign over the <br /> main entrance is 10 feet high and approximately 230 square feet. <br /> Analysis <br /> Staff has reviewed the request and feels that the additional"Cub" sign would be excessive. <br /> The existing 230 square foot"Cub"sign over the main entrance is sufficient to identify the <br /> store as Cub Foods. The existing pharmacy sign is sufficient to identify the pharmacy and <br /> the pharmacy entrance. There is no change in the building materials that would lead a <br /> customer to believe that the pharmacy in not part of the cub store.None of the other large <br /> retail stores in town with multiple entrances (Home Depot and Coborns) have two store <br /> identification signs, one over each entrance. <br /> Recommendation <br /> III Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the conditional use <br /> permit to allow the "Cub" sign over the new pharmacy entrance based on the following <br /> findings: <br /> 1. The existing signage is sufficient to identify the store as Cub Foods. <br /> 2. The existing signage is sufficient to identify the pharmacy and the pharmacy <br /> entrance. <br /> III <br /> S:\PLANNING\Case Files\CU 02-05 Cub\CU02-05.doc <br />
