Overview
Sign Art Company is representing Caribou Coffee in requesting a conditional
use permit to amend the Elk Park Center PUD Sign Agreement to allow a
ID second sign. In 1999, a 6,372 SF multi-tenant retail addition was constructed
in Elk Park Center adjacent to the newly constructed Office Max. The
13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 • Fax (763) 441-7425

addition was constructed as an end-cap with the front of the building facing
1111 north. In the original plans for Elk Park Center the retail space was to have
faced east towards Freeport similar to the existing tenant spaces. With the
building facing north, the visibility from Freeport and the main parking area
is limited. The PUD Sign Agreement presently allows only one sign centered
over the entrance doors of the tenant space or leased area for multi-tenant
buildings. Caribou is located at the northeast corner of the new retail area
and would like to install two signs, one over the entrance on the north side as
allowed by the PUD Sign Agreement and an additional sign facing east.
Salina's Salon is moving into the remaining 4800 SF of retail space occupying
the northwest corner. Salina's entrance also faces north and has only one sign
over its entrance with little or no visibility to the east.
PUD Sign Agreement
The PUD Sign Agreement allows only one sign centered over the entrance
doors of the tenant space or leased area for multi-tenant buildings. The new
6,372 SF of retail space constructed in 1999 faces to the north rather than to
the east as originally proposed. The new retail space has limited visibility
from Freeport Street or Highway 169. By allowing a second sign over the
tenant lease space, Caribou Coffee will have improved visibility.
IIApproval of this conditional use permit will also affect Hollywood Video and
Hirshfield Paint who are also corner tenants in multi-tenant buildings with
the potential for two signs. This ordinance amendment would not improve
visibility for Salina's Salon as their corner faces Jackson Avenue.
Staff recommends amending the PUD Sign Agreement to allow a second sign
for corner tenants as long as the second sign is within their leased space and
has similar restrictions in size and location.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of
conditional use permit CU 00-34, amending the Elk Park Center PUD Sign
Agreement as follows:
2. Capital letters shall be no larger than 32" high; lower case letters
shall be no larger than 24" high. Signs shall be centered over the
entrance doors to the tenant space, or the leased area, but in no case
shall they extend closer than 3' — 4' from the projected lease line. For
corner tenants, a second sign of the same size, extending no closer than

3' — 4' from the leased line or the corner, is allowed on the second
III building frontage wall.
