Case No: 85 -22
Applicant: Rudy Luther's Hopkins Motors Inc.
Location: 459 West Excelsior Avenue
Subject: Variance to locate sign in front yard setback
STAFF FINDINGS & COMMENTS: Kerrigan
1. The subject sign would be the business identification sign of Hopkins Honda.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to allow this sign to exceed the
35 feet maximum height requirement. The sign will be located in the south-
west corner of the subject site, approximately 12 feet from the property
line and 26 feet from the curb. This should provide sufficient visability
for traffic. 427.36A requires a 20 foot front yard setback for auto sales
lots. 427.42(3) does not allow a sign to be located in a setback area.
2. No plan of the proposed sign has been presented for review. The site plan
shows four support posts for the sign.
