February 8, 2008 Sean Sullivan Community Development Department Planning Division Economic Development Coordinator 7550 Sunwood Drive NW Ramsey, MN 55305 Re: Sunfish Commons signage plan Dear Sean, It was good to meet with you this past week! The landlord and business owners look forward to partnering with the city of Ramsey on developing an essential plan to maintain the vitality of Sunfish Commons. The goal is to increase signage and overall visibility to the center in an effort to maintain accessibility for customers. We greatly appreciate your awareness of the potential obstacles the retail center face in the up and coming months once the median is installed. In our meeting you requested a proposal covering the centers essential signage needs. We have met with Spectrum Sign Company to discuss cost effective options. We are confident that the plans described below are straight forward and within reason. In an effort to be proactive we herby offer you the following additional signage needs for Sunfish Commons. 1. Lighted Directional sign. As illustrated on Exhibit A, we are requesting a lighted directional sign to be installed at each entrance to the retail center. (Enclosed please find the full signage dimensions submitted by Spectrum Sign Systems). 2. Non-lighted Directional sign. As illustrated on Exhibit A, This sign would serve the purpose of directing traffic to remain on Hwy 10 and not turn on Sunfish Blvd. The placement of the sign would be adjacent to the Hwy 10 with enough distance from the Sunfish intersection to divert traffic straight ahead. 3. Non-lighted V-turn sign. As Illustrated on Exhibit A, this sign would direct south bound hwy. 10 retail center customers to take a V-Turn at the intersection (protected left turn signal) in order to access the center on Hwy 10. 10
