MINUTES <br />CITY COIINCIL <br />APRIL 25, 1990 <br />off as a separate property. Fahey indicated that it <br />was thought the proposed Sign Ordinance amendment would <br />give the City more flexibility for signage for similar <br />situations. The Code currently allows two pylons for <br />shopping centers, and the owner is requesting a third <br />pylon for the smaller building. Fahey pointed out the <br />survey done by the City Planner which indicates that <br />five of the six cities surveyed would allow a pylon for <br />a building on an outlot. <br />Blesener stated that his review of the survey indicates <br />that the City is more liberal than the other cities <br />surveyed since the City's ordinance allows two pylon <br />signse <br />Boosalis pointed out that his shopping center actually <br />fronts on two streets. <br />Fahey asked if this was discussed by the Planning <br />Commission. Fahey asked if the fact that the property <br />is a PUD effects compliance with the Sign Ordinance. <br />The City Planner reported that the Planning Commission <br />discussed the survey results and the fact that most <br />cities allow a separate pylon for multiple buildings on <br />separate parcels, However, the Planninq Commission <br />voted not to amend the ordinance. The Planner also <br />stated that in his view the PUD zoning of the property <br />does not effect the sign issue and he did not feel the <br />PUD should be used to get around the requirements of <br />the Sign Ordinance. <br />Scalze was concerned that the issue being discussed is <br />what is right for the developer and not what is right <br />for the City. <br />Fahey pointed out that in the past the City has amended <br />the Sign Ordinance after it surveyed other communities <br />and found that the City's Sign Ordinance was <br />out-of-line with what other cities were requiring. <br />Fahey felt this was another instance where the City's <br />ordinance was out-of-line with the cities surveyed. <br />Blesener disagreed that the Ordinance is out-of-line, <br />feeling that the survey showed the City's ordinance was <br />liberal. Blesener pointed out that the City's <br />ordinance allows pylons 200 square feet in size, while <br />the majority of other cities allow 80 square feet. <br />Blesener asked if the developer would be willing to <br />move one of the pylons onto his County Road C frontage. <br />Page 17 <br />
