Consider Variance Request by Paul Krause/P.H. <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, introduced this item. <br />He explained that Mr. Krause is requesting to add a face to a legal non- <br />conforming advertising structure. The structure currently has one face <br />advertising the Elk River Dairy Queen which faces west, it is <br />grandfathered-in, in a C-4 zone. Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />removed Mr. Krause's original sign because it was too close to the <br />intersection of Highway 10 and Waco Street. The proposed additional face <br />would be facing east, on the back side of the Dairy Queen sign, to inform <br />west bound traffic of the turnoff to Pinewood Golf Course. <br /> <br />Chairman Kropuenske read the five standards for granting a variance <br />request. <br /> <br />Chairman Kropuenske opened the public hearing. There being no one for or <br />against the item, Chairman Kropuenske closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mr. Paul Krause stated that he would take down his existing sign in order <br />to put up the new proposed sign. <br />
