In accordance with City Code, <br />all variations to the sign regulations are processed with the conditional use permit application. <br /> <br />Sign regulations for the TC-2 district are similar to the general business districts' regulations <br />with regard to square footage and height allowed and number of ground signs permitted. The <br />gross surface area of a ground sign is restricted to 100 square feet for each exposed face and shall <br />not exceed an aggregate gross surface area of 200 square feet. Ground signs are limited to one <br />(1) per parcel, and must not exceed 25 feet in height. <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting to construct one additional pylon ground sign off of Highway 10 to <br />advertise businesses in the multi-tenant facility located on Sunwood Drive and Armstrong <br />Boulevard. There is an existing ground sign on site, which displays the cost of gasoline. The <br />proposed sign will be a total of 283.3 square feet, resulting in an overage of 183.3 square feet per <br />exposed surface. Part of the sign face will be electronic display. The sign is proposed to be 35 <br />feet in height. <br /> <br />The submitted site plan proposes the sign to be located in a drainage and utility easement held by <br />both the City of Ramsey for drainage and Connexus Energy for utilities. An encroachment <br />agreement would need to be processed with both the City and Connexus prior to building permit <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 1, 2008 <br />Page 2 of ~ <br />
