Under the <br />proposed ordinance, the maximum height increases to 50 feet. However, I don't believe 50 feet is sufficient to <br />overcome the visibility obstruction caused by the Interchange. Assuming the bridge is 30 feet high and a semi -trailer on <br />the bridge is 15 feet, then the bottom of the sign should be at least 45 feet high. However, due to the angle of a <br />person's view driving from the west, a semi -trailer on the Interchange and sign location, another 15 feet should be <br />added for a total of 60 feet to the bottom of the sign. Assuming each sign face is 150 SF (10 by 15), the maximum height <br />of the sign should be at least 75 feet. <br />In addition, 150 SF is not sufficient for a multi -tenant sign this height. Due to the height required under the above <br />conditions, a multi -tenant sign should have up to 300 SF per face to maintain legibility. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. <br />Thanks, Steve <br />Original Message <br />From: Tim Gladhill [mailto:tgladhill@ci.ramsey.mn.us] <br />Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 10:17 AM <br />To: Steve@arborgroup.net <br />Cc: Kurt Ulrich; Bruce Westby <br />Subject: Sign Overlay District Case <br />Steve, <br />Staff has prepared a Public Hearing for the establishment of an overlay district for additional sign allowances in the area <br />of the future Armstrong Interchange. <br />A copy of the case can be found at <br />http://156.142.212.178:8080/agenda_publ ish.cfm?mt=ALL&get_month=7&get_year=2013&dsp=agm&seq=3394&rev=0 <br />&ag=726&In=8676&nseq=3403&nrev=0&pseq=3395&prev=0. <br />Thanks! <br />Sent from my mobile device. <br />Tim Gladhill <br />Development Services Manager <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Dr NW <br />1 <br />
