City Council August 12, 1981 Vacation Of Portion Of Bluwood Avenue V RESOLUTION NO. 81 -8 -399 - APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SIGNS FOR CONNCO SHOES AND FURNITURE SHOWCASE TO ALLOW THE PRESENT ROOF SIGN AND THE FURNITURE SHOWCASE SIGN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THE TWO SIGNS LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING FOR FURNITURE SHOW- CASE AND CONNCO SHOES WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT NO FURTHER PERMANENT SIGNS OR TEMPORARY SIGNS OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING BLINKING TYPE SIGNS, BE ALLOWED ON THE BUILDING The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by hrs. Scalze. Ayes (5) Fahey, Scalze, Hanson, Nardini, Forsberg. Nayes (0). Resolution declared adopted. This resolution appears In Resolution Book No. 7, Pages 270 and 271. Mr. Forsberg commented that he did not approve of the situation where a business erected their permanent signs under a temporary sign permit. The City Planner commented that the City staff has the authority to issue temporary sign permits, and it was a chance the business took in erecting their permanent signs under this permit. Had the signs not been approved, the City has the authority to require removal of these signs. Mayor Hanson opened the public hearing on the proposed vacation of the north ten feet and south ten feet of Bluwood right -of -way, also known as Central Avenue, and maintain a utility easement on the south side of Bluwood Avenue. Mayor Hanson stated that the reason Council initiated this action was that Mrs. Schabert previously requested approval of a property division. One of the lots that would result from the division would be a corner lot and did not meet the 11,000 square feet requirement of City Code. The lot would only consist of 10,800 square feet. If the proposed vacation were approved, it would give the Schabert property enough area to meet the 11,000 square foot requirement. Mr. Mark Lendway, a resident on Bluwood Avenue, appeared before the Council. Mr. Lendway stated that he was not in favor of the vacation of this portion of Bluwood. The vacation would just give him more property that would be of no use to him and would increase his property taxes. Mr. Lendway stated that he was in favor of Mrs. Schabert being granted a variance so that she could divide her property. Councilman Fahey stated that if the Council did any vacating on Bluwood Avenue it should vacate the property down to only what is needed for Bluwood. Fahey stated that it does not make sense for the City to maintain a 100 foot right -of -way for Bluwood. Mayor Hanson stated that he agreed with this, but also felt that at the present time Mrs. Schabert should just be granted a variance and Council could consider the vacation at another time. Page 11
