MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANiJARY 26, 1994 that the tape be run on the City's cable channel. The Administrative Assistant reported that the tape has been forwarded to the City and will be played over the City's cable channel in the very near future. CuP & Hanson opened the public hearing to consider the vARIANCE application submitted by Team Properties for F'OR SECOND Conditional Use Permit to allow a second free- PYLON SIGN standing sign as part of The Market Place Shopping 'CTiE MARKET Center as well as a Variance to allow two free- E>I,ACE standing signs along one street frontage. Hanson SCTOPPING pointed out that the Planning Commission has reviewed ch,NTER this request and is recommending that a variance be granted to allow one large pylon at the shopping center up to a maximum of 30 feet in height and 400 square feet in size. Stewart Chazin, Team Properties, reported that he approached the Planning Commission with the request to retain the Burger King pylon at the shopping center as a second pylon to be used for tenant identification. The Planning Commission felt, however, that the two existing pylons should be removed and a one new pylon constructed. Chazin reported that the goal of Team Properties' request is to provide visibility for the tenants at The Market Place. The new sign proposed would cost between $25,000 and $40,000. Chazin reported that Team Properties is willing to go along with the one larger pylon as recommended by the Planning Commission, and Chazin presented a concept drawing of what that sign would look like. Chazin pointed out that the drawing shows Jubilee Foods on the sign. This is because Team Properties is not sure that Rainbow Foods still stay. They are currently looking for another location. A typical Rainbow store is 50,000 to 60,000 square feet in size and they occupy 30,000 square feet at The Market Place. Rainbow has indicated that they are not willing to expand in their present location. If Rainbow relocates, Team Properties is hoping to attract Jubilee or another similar grocery store to that location. Chazin pointed out that the Snyders' lease would allow Snyders to vacate their present space should Rainbow Foods leave the center. Chazin reported that visibility for tenants other than Rainbow Foods is very poor. Chazin pointed out that The Market Place Shopping Center is perpendicular to Rice Street while all other shopping centers in the City are parallel to the street. Only Rainbow Foods is visible from Rice Street. The other tenants at the Page 3
