Armstrong Boulevard/Highway 10 Sign Overlay Public Written Comments <br /> From: Carl Shaffer <br /> Sent: Monday,June 13, 2022 1:00 PM <br /> To: Ramsey Planning;Todd Larson <br /> Subject: ordinance 22-20 amendments <br /> Planning Commission and Mr. Todd Larson: <br /> am writing in regards to my property at 13900 Sunfish Lake Blvd. (PID 34-32-25-14-0019). This property lies within the <br /> boundary of the Armstrong Blvd. Interchange Overlay district. <br /> I wish to express my support for the amendments introduced in your Public Hearing Notice dated June 9, 2022, for the <br /> following reasons: <br /> 1. Due to the changes on Sunfish Lake Blvd.,there will be a significant negative impact on the daily operations of the <br /> tenant, Midwest Overhead Crane if changes are not made to the ordinance due the roadway changes. <br /> 2. The new height of Sunfish Lake Blvd. on the East side of the property will change from 0' to a 30'-18' wall. The <br /> height of the current building is only 21'. With current banner placement at 6' and Company building sign at 15', the <br /> signage will no longer be visible to traffic. <br /> 3. With the roadway change it will be harder for delivery personnel, vendors, customers, potential employees, <br /> visitors and others to find the company, as the building will be totally obscured from the road. <br /> 4. Currently, when the current divider was installed on Sunfish Lake Blvd., access was eliminated to the property <br /> from Sunfish Lake Blvd., so all traffic must come in on McKinley St., and mapping software has not been able to adapt to <br /> the access change. The new roadway will make this much more difficult for above mentioned populations. <br /> 5. The current system of a banner on a fence works extremely well to attract potential employees due to traffic <br /> counts and current visibility. When the wall is installed and the roadway height is increased,these tools will no longer be <br /> viable, and the current ordinance would require a variance to obtain a sign that would be appropriate in this situation. <br /> For those reasons, I request the ordinance changes be made to accommodate the hardship the Midwest Overhead Crane <br /> and similar area businesses will be forced to endure when the changes to the overpass and roadway occur. <br /> Please feel free to contact me for more information,via email (preferably), or phone below. <br /> Thank you for your consideration . <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Carl Shaffer <br /> Principle <br /> CCMG Investments, LLC <br /> President <br /> WWW.MW000.COM <br />
