The property is located in a PUD, therefore, allowed uses and other restrictions are stipulated through a PUD agreement. In this case, the use is permitted however, signage is subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. In PUD's, the underlying land use usually determines the amount of signage allowed. The underlying land use in this case is HB, Highway Business. It is, therefore, appropriate to use the C3 Highway Commercial signage requirements for this use. . The applicant is requesting 2 wall signs. The sign located on the front of the building would measure 36 square feet and would be illuminated while the sign located on the back of the building would measure 16 square feet and would not be illuminated.

Staff feels this is a reasonable request and is recommending approval subject to the applicant receiving a building permit before erecting said signs. The Planning Commission recommended approval at their January 26, 1993, meeting. . 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420
