The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on February 26, 2019. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is April 27, 2019. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. Background On November 8, 1993, the city approved comprehensive sign plan for the Birch Run Station. The 720-square foot “V” shaped pylon sign on Southlawn Drive was approved at this meeting. On June26, 2012,the city approved a sign plan for the HealthEast Spine Center at the Birch Run Station. Discussion The applicant is requesting city approval to amend the comprehensive sign plan for the HealthEast Spine Center,to allow four additional wall signs onthe building. The city approved a comprehensive sign plan for the HealthEast Spine Center at the Birch Run Station onJune26,2012, allowingtwo 93-square foot wall signs on the north and south elevations, and a 150-square foot monument sign along Beam Avenue. The applicant is proposing four additional wall signs for two new tenants in the building –two 93-square foot wall signs on the north and east elevations, one 58-square foot wall sign on the east elevation, and a 55-square foot wall sign on the south elevation.In addition, one of the two new tenants is proposing a digital graphic on the door on the east elevation. Staff feels that four additional wall signs for new tenants is reasonable and would allow the new businesses to be identified. Architectural One of the two new tenants is Renew Anchored Dentures who are proposing two wall signs –one 58-square foot wall sign on the east elevation and one 55-square foot wall sign on the south elevation. The two signs proposed by this tenant will be designed with whitechannel letters to match the existing HealthEast Spine wall signs,and be face-lit.Renew Anchored Dentures is also proposing one door sign on the east elevation. The doorsign will be a digitally printed vinyl graphic and cover no more than 20 percent of the door surface.
