MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION March 8, 1990 VARIANCE FOR ACCESSORY BUILDINGS FUEL ECONOMY with a freeway or is within 600 feet of a freeway interchange. The Planner reported that the Slumberland property does not meet either one of those requirements. Garske pointed out that the existing Slumberland signage is very visible and questioned the need for the extra height for the pylon. Kaufman replied that the existing signage is not visible from the west and does not indicate the retail center. Costa asked if the base of the pylon would be below the grade of Centerville Road. Kaufman replied that the base of the pylon would probably be at the same grade as Centerville Road, but pointed out that the highway is at a higher grade than the Slumberland property. Costa and Herkenhoff agreed that the existing Slumberland signage is very visible, and questioned the need for the variance requested. DeLonais stated that he was opposed to the variance. Drabik asked if there were any restrictions on how far back the sign could be from the road, pointing out that there may be a higher elevation on the site where the sign could be erected. The City Planner replied that the Sign Ordinance allows an additional five feet in total height for setting the sign back 15 feet. However, maximum sign height is limited to 30 feet. Mr. Herkenhoff recommended denial of the variance for sign area and height requested by Slumberland based on the recommendation of the City Planner indicating that no hardship exists warranting a variance. Motion seconded by Costa. Motion carried 7 - 0. Mr. Don Johnson, Fuel Economy, appeared before the Commission requesting a variance to allow the construction of two additional accessory storage buildings. The proposal exceeds the 30 percent Page 7
