<br /> MINUT)'uS <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> AUGiIST 26, 2009 <br /> The City Planner reviewed his updated report dated August 20, 2009 <br /> explaining the recalculation of allowable signage based on revised <br /> building dimensions. He noted that the Valvoline building is allowed 90 <br /> square feet of signage, which includes both wall and freestanding signage. <br /> Valvoline has submitted a revised signage plan which meets the 90 square <br /> foot maximum. The Planner also noted that when the Council approved <br /> signage for CVS Pharmacy, they expressed the desire that the Valvoline <br /> freestanding sign be upgraded to coordinate with the CVS pylon. <br /> Valvoline's revised signage plan includes an upgrade of the pylon to a <br /> monument-style base constructed of rock-faced concrete block <br /> coordinating with their building materials. <br /> Blesener asked how signage square footage is counted. 'The Planner <br /> replied that the smallest rectangle that can be drawn around the signage is <br /> used to calculate the square footage of the sign. He also noted that if the <br /> colored banner on the building was entirely lit, that entire banner would be <br /> considered signage. In this case just the lettering portion is lit, so only that <br /> portion is counted toward the signage maximum. <br /> Anwar Bhimani, Valvoline, appeared before the Council and indicated <br /> that the signage upgrades will cost $45,000. He is hoping that with the <br /> development of the CVS Pharmacy and the Valvoline signage upgrades, <br /> the business will attract more customers. Bhimani reported that Valvoline <br /> is upgrading signage for all its locations over the next few years. This <br /> location was expedited given the CVS development. <br /> "There was no one else present from the general public wishing to <br /> comment on this matter. <br /> Upon motion by Montour, seconded by Boss, the public hearing was <br /> closed. <br /> Mr. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 2009-8-198 -APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL <br /> USE PERMIT FOR COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN FOR <br /> VAL VOLINE AT 2698 RICE STREET BASED ON THE AMENDED <br /> SIGNAGE PLAN SUBMITTED BY VALVOLINE AND SUBJECT TO <br /> COMPLIANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY <br /> PLANNER AS OUTLINED IN HIS REPORTS DATED AUGUST 6 <br /> AND 20, 2009 <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. <br /> Ayes (5). <br /> Nays (0).
