It was <br />noted that the City Planner and the Planning Commission have <br />recommended approval. <br />The City Planner reported that the applicant has requested an Exemption <br />from the Architectural Guidelines which suggest that that sign <br />background colors should be dark with lighter lettering. The Planner <br />indicated that when these guidelines were developed there was the concern <br />that illuminated signs with white backgrounds would cast glare on <br />neighboring properties and in the rights-of-way. With regard to the sign <br />proposed, the Planner noted that it is not visible from the street, but rather <br />an internal parking lot. Also, the sign is not illuminated. Therefore, the <br />Planner indicated that there would be no negative impacts to granting the <br />exemption requested. <br />Jon Alexander, Kaposia, reported that they proposed the 2 foot by 3 foot <br />sign as designed so that people are able to identify and find their business. <br />There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on <br />this matter. <br />Upon motion by McGraw, seconded by Boss, the public review was <br />closed. <br />Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />2 <br />
