MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 25, 2009 The maximum number of tenants for this building was discussed, with Wagner estimating a maximum of seven tenants, i.e. seven wall signs. Again, Wagner asked for the flexibility on lit ornon-lit signage as well as being allowed to utilize signs mounted on raceways. He noted that for Final Cut an illuminated sign would have cost an additional $5,000. Montour indicated that signs mounted on raceways would be acceptable to him in this area. He concern was with consistency, and indicated that he would rather see all illuminated or all non-illuminated signage. Wagner again noted that Final Cuts already has anon-lit sign in place. He pointed out that Midwest Gymnastics wants a lit sign and pointed out their location at the southeast corner of the building. Midwest wants the visibility that lit signage will provide as well as the additional lighting in the parking lot. McGraw stated that he was agreeable to the signage being mounted on a raceway. However, he would like consistency relative to lit or non-lit signage. Wagner suggested that on the east sign of the building Midwest be allowed to have a lit sign. The Final Cuts sign isnon-illuminated and there would be another tenant adjacent to Final Cuts. Wagner suggested that this additional tenant be required to have anon-lit sign. 'Fhe Council discussed the issue of consistency with illuminated and non- illuminated signs in detail. The consensus was that on the east elevation of the building, Midwest Gymnastics would be allowed an illuminated sign. Final Cuts and any additional tenants on the east elevation would be required to have non-illuminated signage. For the north elevation of the building there is an estimated maximum of four tenants. These tenants would be required to have illuminated signage. The Council also was agreeable to tenant signage mounted on raceways. Wagner reported that in the spring he would be adding landscaping treatment to the base area of the pylon signage. He noted that the location of a rain water garden on the property is still undetermined and one of the reasons that this landscaping was not already in place. There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by McGraw, seconded by Keis, the public hearing was closed. Mr. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
