- DRAFT - <br />Commissioner Klander understood the application was received on April 15th. He asked how <br />much the applicant paid for their request. Planner Sevald reported this was the case and noted <br />that the applicant paid $200 for each conditional use permit and each of the variance requests. <br />Commissioner Love believed the new sign would improve the aesthetics of the property and <br />would eliminate the need for banners. She wondered if this spoke to the practicality of the issue. <br />Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. <br />Commissioner Schiltgen asked if a 30 -day delay would make a difference in the sign <br />construction.
