Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. n it Council Member Marty stated the Council had ongmally discussed six billboards o C y property, with a seventh billboard possible on Sysco property. He indicated the billboards were originally to be spaced 1,500 feet apart, and the Council had decreased this spacing requirement to 1,000 feet, however, Sysco would like to have two billboards on their property, and to further decrease the 1,000-foot spacing requirement through a variance. He stated Sysco would also be utilizing Delite Sign Company, which is a different billboard company than that utilized by the City. He explained that he did not desire this section of Highway 10 to become "Billboard Row." Council Member Marty indicated he did not like billboards, however, they are a necessity in terms of paying off the escalating debt at the golf course, which increases by $33,000 per year in bond payments alone. He stated he was concerned with regard to the decreased spacing requirement, and that the billboards proposed on the Sysco property would not conform to the design the Council has tentatively approved for use on the City property, which is in keeping with the aesthetics of the Bridges Golf Course. He indicated that at least one of the billboards proposed by Sysco would be a standard monopole structure, located on a parking lot, and raised to allow trucks to pass underneath. Acting Mayor Stigney advised that the consideration before the Council was to set a public hearing for discussion of this matter. He pointed out that most of these questions are being addressed by the Planning Commission, and this item is simply to establish a public hearing to allow the residents the opportunity to comment on this proposal.
