Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: August 3, 2007 <br />RE: Sign Agreement for 2935 Country Drive <br />IVIAYOR <br />t3i11 Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Rick Montour <br />Bari)ara Allan <br />John Reis <br />Michael YIeC raw <br />ADNIINISTRl1TOR <br />Joel R. Manson <br />A meeting will be held at 9:00 a,m. on Monday, August 6 between Dick Biagini and Council Member <br />Allan, Steve Westerhaus, and me to discuss the sign issue for 2935 and 2925 Country Drive. The issue <br />we are dealing with relates to the sign constructed at 2935 Country Drive not being a "monument" sign <br />as noted in our agreement with Mr. Biagini. <br />Staff researched the records in more detail and discovered that when we considered the vacation of <br />Country Drive to allow the sign, the diagram attached with the agenda information was of the sign that <br />was constructed. What appears to have occurred is that Mr. Biagini initially approached us about a <br />monument sign and the need for the vacation of right -of -way. Before we completed processing of the <br />request, he gave us a diagram for a different sign. That diagram was included in the packets at the time <br />we considered the vacation. Therefore, I believe we are hard pressed to take a tough stance without <br />appearing "unreasonable ". <br />Mr. Biagini has informed me that he has landscaped the sign at 2925 Country Drive. We will also <br />discuss the possibility of additional improvements to that sign. We will report on the results at <br />Wednesday's meeting. <br />
