The sign ordinance permits one pylon business sign greater than 64 square feet no larger than 80 square feet after securing the conditional use permit. Such sign must be located at least 10 feet from any property line and shall not exceed 20 feet in height. BACKGROUND With proposed expansion of Hwy. 5 and the realignment of Dakota Avenue, portions adjacent to the right-of-way from the Sinclair site will be taken. Existing signs are located on that portion that will be taken by MnDOT and the existing signage has to be removed. On February 28, 1989, Planning Department Staff denied an application for two pylons signs. The area of each sign was proposed as 176 square feet. This is the only record the city has of a sign application for the Sinclair site. At the present time, there are three pylon signs on the site which have a total area of 112 square feet (Attachment #1) . ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to remove three pylon signs that have a total area of 112 square feet and install a sign with a total area of 72 square feet and 20 feet in height (Attachment #2) . The Sign Ordinance permits such signs after securing a conditional use permit. Section 20-232, General Issuance Standards. The Planning , Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue such conditional use permit only if it finds that such use at the proposed. .ocation: , 1.
