The Hansmann's want to install a 25 -foot high monument style sign on one corner of their building site. Current City ordinances allow such a sign. However, projects in the Town Center area are usually approved by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board with the condition that design issues are reviewed by a staff/citizen group known as the Town Center Committee.
