MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 13, 2017 - 2 - The Associate Planner stated that the second part of the request is to allow this sign to be attached to the west elevation of the screening wall that surrounds their rooftop equipment rather than on a building wall. Staff reviewed this location and determined that this screening is a permanently fixed, heavy duty screening, and it looks like it is architecturally part of the building. Steve Seviola, Abbott, stated that Abbot is a huge company that does not have much of a presence yet in the Midwest and they want to get their name out there. He showed close up photos of the building area where they want to install the new sign. The Associate Planner stated that staff believes both requests by Abbott are consistent with the intent of the PUD District and the City’s architectural guidelines. There were no comments from the public. Schwalbach recommended approval of the Comprehensive Sign Plan amendment to allow a wall sign up to 191 square feet on the west elevation mounted to the screen wall surrounding the mechanical equipment. Motion seconded by Davison. Motion carried 5 – 0. The Associate Planner explained that in Section 1001.060.A of the subdivision ordinance, it defines when a request would be deemed a simple subdivision. She stated that as the code currently reads, a request that would create three lots would be exempted, but the intent and practice was for subdivision requests in which three or less lots would be created. She noted that this does not change how simple subdivision requests have been handled, but is really a housekeeping item to fix the City Code language so it is consistent with past practice. There were no comments from the public. Kwapick recommended adopting Ordinance 815, modifying Chapter 1001, Section 060.A of the Subdivision Code. Motion seconded by Schwalbach. Motion carried 5 – 0. AMEND CHAPTER 1001.060 OF THE CITY CODE PERTAINING TO SUBDIVISIONS
