erection of a freestanding sign.
6201 Osseo Road (Lot 2, Block 1,
Ewing Lane Addition)
Land O'Lakes Creameries
11 On March 16, 1964, the Council approved a freestanding
sign for the Bridgeman establishment as follows:
"Motion by Phil Cohen and seconded by John Leary to
approve action of Planning Commission on Application
#64011 submitted by Bridgeman Creamery for a Special
Use Permit for a Drive -In Ice Cream Store and the
approval granted February 17, 10,64, by the Village
Council be amended to permit one (1) freestanding
advertising sign 21 feet in height to be located 54
.feet from Osseo Road. The approval of the sign shall
become a part of the Special Use Permit and shall conform
to the design. on file.. Motion carried unanimously."
2) On October 25, 1965, the Council approved both an area
and height increase for the freestanding sign on the
Bridgeman property (which sign was found to be almost
25 feet in height rather than the 21 feet previously
approved). as follows;
"Motion by Phil Cohen and seconded by John Leary to
accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission
on Application No. 65085 submitted by Bridgeman's Inc-,
and grant variances from Section. :35-330 in regard to the
height and area of the sign located at 6201 Osseo Road„
with and for the following conditions and reasons:
1„ The sign shall not exceed 26 feet in height
measured from the blacktop surface at the edge
of the concrete footing beneath the sign.
2., The area of each side of the sign shall not
exceed 250 square feet.
3,. The sign is set back from the roadway the distance
required for buildings and thus presents an
unusual situation,
Motion carried unanimously."

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED:
1) The sign presently standing on the Bridgeman property
was built according to the design submitted at the time
of the last approval; according to the perimeter
measurement technique, however, it is approximately
290 square feet in area. The intent of the applicant
is to now move the present feestanding sign to a position
on the east side of the service drive, immediately
adjacent to the Osseo Road.
2) The Commission's draft sign ordinance (of January 5, 1967)
would permit the erection of a freestanding sign for the
Bridgeman property (as a "drive-in") up to 24 feet in
height and 250 square feet in area measured by perimeter
description. The graph of sign sizes which the Council
has utilized, based on floor area of the Bridgeman
establishment (4,674 square feet, exclusive of canopied
area for drive-in customers), would permit erection of
a 93.5 square foot sign, 18 feet in height-. This sign
would be required to have clear space below the sign
message from a point 8 feet above the base grade of the
sign (finished floor elevation) and the ground below the
sign.
3) It appears (from Minutes of past actions) that special
consideration may have been given to the present sign
because of its large setback from Osseo Road (over 50
feet ), and also because of the absence of signs on the
building itself.
