Olmsted Town Center "BLDG D" (WRD # 4) Request for variance (1123.12). The proposal consists of sign package for Bldg "D" and the following variances are requested: 1. A 434.6 square foot variance for excessive signage on a building "Bldg D", (code permits 429 sq ft applicant shows 863.6 sq ft), section (1163.24 (g)). 2. A variance for 2 building identification signs (wall), (code permits 1, applicant shows 3), section (1163.27 (a)). 3.

Mr. Kalina with Adam signs and Mr. Kouri Managing Agent each came forward to be sworn in and address the request. Mr. Kalina said they are asking the board to approve the landlord criteria package to help the owner and city control the signage on building D. They met with City Staff and the Planning & Design to create the package. Building D is designed to accommodate 14 tenants on the ground floor as well as second floor office tenants. All deliveries and city services will be conducted on the north side of the building. Each tenant will have a non-illuminated placard sign over their door along the first floor to identify delivery access points. There are no signs along the second floor of the north side of the building. There will'be tenant signs on the south, east and west elevation for second floor tenants if approved by landlord. The existing mound and fence will ensure the placard signs will not be visible to the abutting property owners to the north. The owners are tying to address the size and total signage on the site prior to any tenants opening their business. The city codes basically let each business have 4-foot tall letters and the landlord is setting limits on all signs which will go on the buildings. Mrs. Sergi asked about under canopy flag signs which were mentioned. Mr. Kalina said that blade signs would not work on the style of building and the squaxe footage for the blade signs was larger than what the placard signs measure. Once the sign package is approved the landlord will have the ability to keep all the signs for current and future tenants within the criteria which would be set. The second floor will be allotted a total of 3 wall signs which will be determined on a first come basis. Mrs. Sergi stated that once the variances were approved for 3 second floor tenant signs the applicant would not be allowed to ever request additional wall signs for the second floor tenants. Mr. Kelly noted that there were no residents present to 7
