City Of Pequot `-- Lakes December 29, 2011 Stacy Hill Signspot 5186 Susanville Drive Brainerd, MN 56401 RE: Conditional Use Permit Application for Additional Signage in the Commercial Zone, Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union Dear Mrs. Hill: �. Please be advised that on December 15, 2011, the Planning Commission approved your Conditional Use Permit based on the following findings of fact: 1. The request for a conditional use permit is for additional signage than what is typically allowed by the code in the Commercial Zone. 2. The proposed sign meets the one foot setback requirement. 3. The proposed sign measures 3.99' x 9.82' (39.18 sq. ft.) will read, "Mid- Minnesota Federal Credit Union". 4. The code allows 45.8 sq. ft. (ten percent of building fagade) of wall signage for a structure in the Commercial Zone. 5. The existing structure has already been permitted for 39.18 sq. ft., the conditional use permit request is for 39.18 sq. ft. in additional signage. 6. The proposed sign would be located at the north entrance to the property. It would be visible to southbound traffic on Highway 371 and to patrons of the business on the adjacent property to the north. 7. The proposed sign will not be lighted. There is lighting under the eaves of the structure which may allow the sign to be visible at night. 8. The proposed signage will be used to identify the Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union. There will not be any negative aesthetic impacts from the proposed signage. 9. The proposed sign is appropriate within the Commercial Zone. The area is heavily wooded and hilly, ensuring that the sign will not affect neighboring properties. 4638 COUNTY ROAD 11 • PEQuoT L K-Es,MN 56472• (218) 568-5222• Fnx: (218) 568-5860•www.pequodakes-mn.gov
