Property: 6000 Osseo Road (Parcel 4720, Aud. Sub. #216) Owner of Property-. Evans-Nordby Funeral Home BACKGROUND: 1) The funeral home is located on an RB zoned property, which zoning presently allows the following signs per Section 35-315: "c. Unlighted nameplates not exceeding one square foot in area, with a 24 inch maximum .for any dimension, bearing the name of the occupant of a residence; and bulletin boards for churches and identifying signs for schools or other public or semi-public institutions not exceeding 30 square feet in area with a seven -foot maximum for any dimension. d. Unlighted real estate "For Sale" or "For Rent" signs not exceeding two square feet in area, with a 24-inch maximum for any dimension. 2) The sign for which approval is being sought has an area of 42 square feet (60 square feet if considered to be solid from the ground up), and would be placed approximately 45 feet from the intersection of 60th Avenue North, centered on the doorway of the mortuary on the green strip adjacent to the highway righ6-of-way. The applicant's contention is that his business needs identification in addition to the present small sign on the wall of the building to make known his location to potential customers and to persons unfamiliar with the area who may be attending funerals. POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED: 1) The sign would be of a "monument" type, with little or no clear space between ground level and the top of the sign. This type of sign appears to be common among churches and mortuaries. 2) Approval for a similar monument type sign was sought by the Lynn Brook Shopping Center at 6215 Osseo Road in September of 1965, but was denied by the Planning Commission and Council primarily as a result of the staff assertion that monument signs close to the roadway would constitute a visual obstruction for traffic, even though the sign was to be placed 40 feet from the driveway to the shopping center. --2- 3) A monument sign of a similar type exists presently diagonally across the intersection of 60th and Osseo Road at Cross of Glory Church. The sign is approximately 5 feet from the highway right-of-way, has approximate dimensions of 4 feet in height and 8 feet in widish, and an area of 32 square feet. STAFF COMMENTS: i) My personal opinion, after having had an opportunity to see the sign which was eventually installed at Lynn Brook Shopping Center, is that the monument sign, if it had been approved, would not have constituted a hazard to traffic, as the distance from the driveway to the sign is sufficient to allow traffic entering onto and coming off the highway to see what traffic movements are occurring. This type of sign does seem to be pleasing in design, and the proposed sign ordinance as presently drafted would allow a monument type sign to be used by public and semi-public places and by usas in the C1 zone, such signs to be limited to 8 feet in height and 35 square feet in area. I would suggest that c.,e include some restriction as to the distance from any driveway, property line, or street intersection, the monument type sign may be piaced,and acknowledge explicitly in the sign ordinance that requirements for visual clearance between the sign and the ground do not apply to these signs. It might also be advisable in the case of monument signs to state that the entire profile of the sign will be considered sign area, so as to include the "structure" of the sign as well as its message. `'' F`� iM6606S U3 1 (6012) rop'- (6019) rignl 1 14(?R'j`U11,AX L-Tj (6013) F i (6007)L_ f (6001) _ 60th Avenue Crory of Glory �► �] Church �{ Li I } E : r� k r 60Fh OVsr J F� F (5964) L J Itt' ii (5960) r ign i) _ _ (5950) F� �M l W 1 cn 0 !
