RESOLUTION NO. 72-11
RESOLUTION GRANTING HEIGHT VARIANCE FOR FREESTANDING
SIGN PROPOSED BY TOPEKA INN MANAGEMENT, INC
WHEREAS, Table 34.A, Chapter 34-140 of the City Ordinances provides
that establishments having above 24,000 square feet of gross floor area may
have a freestanding sign with a maximum area of 250 square feet, and a
maximum height of 32 feet above the first floor area; and
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 71050 submitted by
Topeka Inn Management, Inc. , requests, in part, a variance from said ordinance
to permit the erection of a freestanding sign with an area not to exceed 250
square feet, at a height greater than 32 feet above the first floor area; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has stipulated and demonstrated by evidence,
namely extensive documented engineering studies, that all of the qualification
for granting a variance as provided in Section 34-180 of the City Ordinances,
have been met, in that:
1. The potential patrons of the motel are comp?ised mainly of
itinerant out-of-town motorists who are unfamiliar with the
area;
2. Primary patronage of the motel will be realited during the
evening and night-time hours;
3. The identification of and the access to the motel merits
special consideration, given the volume of traffic and
the danger of vehicles weaving during rapid lane changes
in freeway traffic;
4. The location of the motel and topography of the area
presents certain problems relative to the use of the
freestanding sign to identify the motel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that:
Topeka Inn Management, Inc. , is hereby granted a variance
from the requirements of Section 34-140 of the City Ordinances,
to permit the erection of a freestanding sign of not more than
250 square feet in maximum area and of not more than 60 feet in
maximum height above the first floor, on the site of the Holiday
Inn Motel located at 1501 - 65th Avenue North
