Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 May 24, 2005 --------------------------- Commissioner Ropp asked if the reason for the request is visibility. Mr. Harlicker stated yes. Commissioner Stevens asked if the signs would be lighted. Mr. Harlicker stated that the signs would have individually lit letters, not box-style. Chair Anderson asked if the signs would be similar to those on the buildings west of Zane Street. Mr. Harlicker stated yes. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. Jay Tutt, 11751 Troy Lane, Maple Grove, representing STM Development (applicant) – Stated that the reason for the request is there was an oversight in their original submission, and that they are asking to do the same type of signage that is on their buildings west of Zane.

There being no one else to speak to this issue, Chair Anderson closed the public hearing. Commissioner Offerman stated that he is in favor of recommending approval of the request. He stated that he prefers this type of signage to a free standing sign and sees no problems. Chair Anderson asked if the signage request was for the entire building, or just Taco John’s.
