3. The proposed use, with conditions, is unlikely to detract from the surrounding <br /> neighborhood as nearby properties are developed as retail businesses and also containing <br /> various methods of signage. <br /> 4. The proposed use would not be injurious to the public health, safety, or welfare as it <br /> would serve to direct traffic around the corner of the property. The proposed sign <br /> locations would not obstruct the view of traffic or impeded pedestrian corridors. <br /> 5. The proposed use is unlikely to be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties <br /> in the immediate vicinity as many neighboring properties are developed commercially. <br /> The additional directional sign would be placed near existing trees and landscaping. <br /> 6. The proposed use will not impeded the normal and orderly development of adjacent <br /> properties and the properties are already platted and mostly developed with retail/service <br /> businesses. <br /> 7. There are no additional public services or facilities required for the development of this <br /> property. <br /> 8. There are no additional vehicular approaches that are required for the proposed use <br /> besides what already exists on the property. <br /> 9. The proposed use does not require any additional parking. The applicant has provided <br /> parking sufficient to serve the existing business. <br /> 10. The proposed use will not produce noise, dust, or odors at a level that would constitute a <br /> nuisance outside of the normal activities related to the placement of the signs. <br /> 11. The proposed use will not result in the destruction or removal or any natural, scenic, or <br /> historic sites of major significance as this property has already been developed. <br /> 12. The proposed use does not require any additional stormwater management measures. <br /> 13. The two `Type A' signs are allowed and meet the provisions set forth in Section 7.1, <br /> Subd. 5A(4). <br /> 14. The proposed additional sign (Type B) would have a total sign area of 16 square feet and <br /> be 4 feet high. <br /> 15. As the large concentration of businesses along Government Drive is to the south of Jay <br /> Street,it may be difficult to attract customers to north side of the subject property. <br /> 16. Alternatives to additional signage include no additional directory sign or notation <br /> indicating the location of businesses around the corner on the Type A signs. <br /> 17. The proposed additional sign would not be in conflict with signage in the area. <br /> 18. The proposed additional sign is unlikely to have negative aesthetic impacts because of its <br /> relative small size and surrounding landscaping. <br /> 19. The additional sign on the corner would aid in bringing potential customers to Jay Street <br /> for this business,and potentially other nearby businesses. <br /> The Planning Commission is recommending consideration of the following conditions along with <br /> their recommendation: <br /> 1. The proposed additional sign shall not exceed a total sign area of sixteen (16) square feet <br /> (eight square on each side)and a height of four(4) feet. <br /> 2. The area in the immediate vicinity of the proposed additional sign shall be maintained <br /> with the current landscaping, as proposed on the site plan, or better. <br /> 4.
