PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 14, 1988 <br /> Chairperson Dave Cody removed himself from the board. He <br /> does know Mr. Graiziger well , he was an executive with <br /> Naglee and has a high reputation for excellence in the <br /> Advertising Community. Chairperson Cody conducted the <br /> hearing, but took no part in the voting. <br /> John Bodger, a Representative of Adams , stated his two <br /> applications do meet the city' s Ordinance requirements . He <br /> also said that in the outdoor advertising business , when the <br /> property does become developed, they would remove the signs . <br /> Graiziger and Bodger have purchased a parcel of land on the <br /> northwest corner of Lake Drive and 35W. This parcel is <br /> zoned General Business "GB" . The site located on County <br /> Road 14 is zoned Light Industrial "L-I" . <br /> Mr. Prokop requested clarification relative to Conditional <br /> Use Permits and the Sign Ordinance. The applicant feels <br /> that because he has met all city requirements, he should be <br /> eligible for the Conditional Use Permit . <br /> John Miller stated that the sign ordinance is concerned with <br /> distance from sign to residential property, things like <br /> that . Adams Outdoor Advertising has met all the <br /> requirements, although Mr. Miller felt the erection of the <br /> billboards would detract from the desireability of the land <br /> for the high-value commercial and industrial uses planned <br /> for those areas . <br /> The Economic Development Committee recommended that the <br /> application for the billboards be denied. <br /> Ms . Nelson stated she is not opposed to an outdoor <br /> advertising sign, just the locations in which Adams is <br /> requesting. " She also felt the billboards may detract people <br /> from looking at purchasing the land on or near the <br /> billboards . <br /> Boardmember Irwin felt the board should grant this <br /> Conditional Use Permit until the property becomes developed. <br /> Although he felt it might be a waste of time if construction <br /> will be done in the near future. <br /> MOTION: Cheryl Nelson moved to recommend to City Council <br /> denial of application for Conditional Use Permit for Adams <br /> Outdoor Advertising, Application *88-38 for billboard signs <br /> located in the northwest quadrant of Lake Drive and I-35W, <br /> and the northeast quadrant of County Road 14 and 35E. <br /> Page 2 <br />
