MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 25, 1990 The Planner and Council reviewed a set of development plans, and revised plans showing the signage were submitted to the Building Inspector. Fahey stated that it seems to him that had Boosalis asked for three pylons initially, the City would have given them to him. Fahey again pointed out that other cities allow separate pylons for outlots. Fahey stated that signage is very important to a business. LaValle asked the height being proposed for the third pylon. The City Planner replied that the height is proposed at 16 feet and the total area at 66 square feet. Scalze suggested that Rapid Oil put their signage on the side of their building. Boosalis pointed out that this would not allow for visibility to traffic coming southbound on Rice Street since the building to the north of Rapid Oil is blocking visibility. Fahey pointed out the difficulty the City has had with the Sign Ordinance and was concerned that the same problems would occur if the City adopted a landscape ordinance. Blesener asked if the Boosalis proposal would fit any of the sign ordinances of the cities surveyed. The Planner replied that if the Rapid oil building was on an outlot, the pylon would be acceptable in five of the six cities surveyed. Blesener suggested that these ordinances may require signage on each of the frontages a shopping center has, not allowing all signage on just one of the frontages. The Planner stated that he was not sure if these other ordinances had any restrictions on placement of signage on the frontages. Fahey felt the the City could proposal would asked if the P votes to allow shopping center very attractive and one be proud of, and did not feel the saturate the area with signs. Fahey 7D Agreement could be amended by three for the third pylon. Page 19
