<br />�`r' Coyle stated the Ciiy's Ordinance, as approved, contains the 1,000 foot spacing requirement.
<br />�c. �x.plained that if t�1e six applications that are pending before the City are approved, and
<br />��.z����iis �re issu�d, tkt�'s would prohibit consideration of at least one of the two applications that
<br />�`�y��� ����s coY�a��;��t��r��to have filed, with regard to its property. He indicated that to the extent that
<br />�,�if,��� .3�`c ;;;x �����t�o��rds on the golf course property, rather than five, this application could prohibit
<br />E:��������;zE�.��ar� of �he second site on the Sysco property.
<br />Mr. Coyle stated it was their understanding that the golf course does not require all six of the
<br />permits in order to achieve the financial objectives that have been set, however, Sysco's
<br />fundamental objection relates to the spacing issue. He stated that if the City chooses to proceed
<br />with the six billboards, they would request that the City would process a variance to allow for the
<br />consideration and approval of the two Sysco applications, when they come before the City.
