Two of the `Type A' signs will be constructed, with one located on the southwest corner of the lot on Government Drive and the other in the northeast on Jay Street.

The proposed use is an appropriate conditional use in the Downtown Mixed Use District, as Section 7.1, Subd. 6 indicates that conditional use permits are required for the proposed request. 2. The proposed use conforms to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which indicates that the City should encourage the clustering of businesses to enhance walkability in downtown and promote businesses that add to the City's distinct character. 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 Baxter, MN 56425 (218) 828-3064 www.communitygrowth.com
