WHEREAS, David Albrecht on behalf of NorthMarq Real Estate Services, LLC
has applied for a variance to the required setback for monument signs at 1345 Mendota
Heights Road (PID 27- 48251 -01 -020, Lot 2 Block 1 and 27- 48251 -01 -020, Lot 3 Block

on this application at their regular meeting on June 28, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the commission recommended that the council deny the variances
as requested in planning case 2011 -21.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mendota Heights City
Council that the request for variances as proposed in planning case 2011 -21 are hereby
denied with the following findings of fact:
1. The conditions raising issues for sign visibility are not unique to the property in
question, but are common throughout the district.
2. The city has set a standard for sign setback by previous PUD approval at 20 feet
which has become the common condition for the area.
3. Vegetation obscuring visibility of the signs can be modified or removed to resolve
the difficulty.
4. Granting of this variance would be establishing a privilege for this property which
has been denied to others in the district.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this fifth day of July 2011.
