MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: February 20, 2019
RE: Oak Park Heights — Ridgecrest Oak Park Heights — Planned Unit
Development — Signage Clarification — 13535 60th Street North
TPC FILE: 236.02 — 18.03
With submittal of the signage plans for Panera Bread, I have had further opportunity to
review the sign plans and the approvals that were granted. The City Council on June
26, 2018 approved the Planned Unit Development for the development that would
include a Panera Bread and a multi-tenant retail building. One of the conditions read:
11. All signs shall be designed to comply with Zoning Ordinance requirements
for size, number, placement, and internal illumination. The freestanding signs
shall be limited to one per lot, unless designed as a monument.
As part of the Planned Unit Development approvals, the City granted two freestanding
signs, each being a maximum of 100 square feet in size and no more than 20 feet in
height. As indicated above, to achieve these allcwances, the freestanding signs need
to be limited to one per lot. The current plans iidicate signs that are compliant with
these requirements.
Additionally, the developers have requested that the sign boards on the two
freestanding signs be allowed to advertise the businesses of either lot.
This is allowable because of the flexibility granted through the Planned Unit
Development approvals. This is also consistent with the approvals granted to other
multi-tenant, multi-ownership developments.

Trent:
I have had an opportunity to review the approvals in more detail,and because a PUD was granted,we are good with
the freestanding signs as proposed. Please find attached a memo that outlines this.
Also,I believe the plat has not been signed for this development. As you are aware,no permits can be granted until
that is completed.
