Motion seconded by Weihe. Motion carried 7 - 0. I{nudsen recommended denial of the Variance to exceed the number of wall signs allowed as requested by A & W at 3006 Rice Street based on the fact that the Commission recommended the applicant meet with the City Planner and develop a more acceptable signage plan and no new submittals have been received, based on the recommendation of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated November ll, 2004, and based on the fact that there is no hardship present to warrant granting a variance. Motion seconded by Wojcik.. Motion carried 7 - 0. FINAL PLAT Jon Whitcomb, Jon Wesley Investments, appeared before the GERVAIS Commission requesting approval of the Final Plat for Geivais Hi11s IIILLS which consists of twelve single-family lots. The City Planner indicated that as part of the review of this development, there was originally concern expressed relative to off site drainage. The Final Plat as presented improves the general neighborhood drainage as referenced in the City Engineer's report dated December 2, 2004. The City Engineer has recommended approval of the Final Plat as submitted. I{nudsen noted that originally the holding pond along County Road B-2 was not part of the development. The plat was reconfigured and the holding pond was added. The City Planner indicated that that was correct. He noted that at one point the City was requesting a larger holding pond than the one shown on the .Final Plat. Whitcomb indicated that the larger holding pond that the City was seeking was compromising the size of the lots. As part of the negotiation with the City, the holding pond was added, but at a smaller size. This holding pond is still taking a large portion of the off-site water and improving the situation for the larger area. -2-
