WHEREAS, Jim Fuller of SignARama has submitted a sign permit application, which
requests approval for certain exterior changes in signage at Mendota Plaza as shown in materials
submitted to the Council for their consideration on August 7, 2007; and
WHEREAS, signage at Mendota Plaza is subject to Sign Criteria which was approved by
the City through the approval of a Planned Unit Development ( "PUD "); and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the proposed signage does not comply with
existing City regulations and PUD sign criteria.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Mendota Heights that the sign application for the Mendota Plaza signage would have an adverse
impact on the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the community and the
surrounding land, and would be in violation of the general intent and purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that the
sign application proposes signage that is not in compliance with the existing PUD.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights that the
sign application is hereby denied.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in support of the above denial, the Council hereby adopts
the following Findings of Fact:
The PUD sign criteria allows store identity signs only. The proposed box signs are not
restricted to Tenant's proper name, product or service.
2. The PUD sign criteria limits signage to individually illuminated neon letters, the face of
which shall be cut out of transparent or opaque plastic. The proposed box signs are not
individually illuminated letters.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 21St day of August, 2007.
