MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION OCTOBER 8, 1998 Montour stated that he did not want to restrict a new business to placing its sign on the Bally pylon. Montour felt that this sort of restriction would result in a business not locating on that site. Mr. Carson recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development for the Schroeder property and allowing the construction of the Bally sign as requested on Outlot A with the square footage of the Bally sign being applied to the maximum signage allowed for Outlot A. Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 3 — 1. Mr. DeLonais voted against. At this point in the meeting, Mr. Barraclough had to leave. CLARIFY The City Planner reviewed the ordinance as it addresses the measurement SETBACK from the property line to a structure in determining setback. The Planner CALCULATION pointed out that the ordinance states that this measurement occurs at the ground level. This raises concern since a second story of a house could be cantilevered, resulting in that second story encroaching into the setback. While most cantilevered structures extend only two or three feet, the Building Official has indicated that some could extend as much as five feet. The Planner also reviewed the list of structures which the ordinance allows to extend into the setback. These include cornices, eves, gutters, steps, vestibules, etc. The Planning Commission discussed this matter, and it was their consensus that up to a two foot cantilever would be acceptable, but felt that the ordinance should be amended to restrict anything greater. Mr. Carson requested that the City Planner prepare a proposal which would limit the distance a cantilevered structure could extend into the required setback and bring this proposal back to the Planning Commission for consideration at its November meeting. Motion seconded by Montour. Motion carried 3 — 0. Page 12
