I The proponents defended the 8 X 8 foot monument sign proposed to be erected 25 feet from Apache's eastern -most property line on the south side of the service road off Silver Lake Road, indicating: 4 *the necessary utilities were already in place at that location; 5 *Burger King's lease was contingent upon their being allowed a 6 sign on Silver Lake Road; 7 *Apache management could go along with reducing the sign to 6 X 6, 8 on which the Commission's vote had been based; 9 *they considered this to be a "unique" situation because of the 450 10 foot distance between the proposed building and the street which 11 required identification for "impulse" patrons; 12 *it seemed to them that Apache was being penalized for the outlot 13 setting for the proposed building and for not platting the build - 14 ings in the shopping complex separately; 15 Mr. Cavanaugh added that: 16 *a building closer to Silver Lake Road on the same side as Midwest 17 Federal would have to be constructed 200 feet away from that 18 building and one on the other side of the main entrance would 19 interfere with needed parking space south of the entrance; *in either of those locations a building would block the Z1 visibility of tenants in the mall while a building in line with 22 the main building would create "less clutter" than one closer to 23 Silver Lake Road. 24 Councilmember Enrooth indicated he perceived the precedent for monument 25 signs, some larger than the proposed sign, and a good number of them 26 lighted, had already been well established for that area along Silver 27 Lake Road. He identified 11 of these by name and reminded the townhome 28 residents that the City had granted them a variance for their own 29 identification sign not too long ago. 30 When Commissioner Hansen restated his concerns that a good many of the 31 businesses in and behind the mall like Country Store; the SAV liquor 32 warehouse; Domino's Pizza; Firestone Tire; etc. might be coming in for 33 signage identification on Silver Lake Road when they realized the City 34 had allowed Burger King signage on that roadway, Mr. Cavanaugh told him 35 Herberger's sign is the only exception to Apache's policy of not 36 allowing free standing signage for other than detached buildings in the 37 complex. It was also pointed out that the Domino Pizza store was in a 38 separate shopping center building with its own center identification; 39 Country Store and the SAV warehouse are both in buildings owned by 40 Apache Plaza; and the Firestone store has two street frontages. rA
