9 1 inches) in the location proposed by the applicant during the continuance of the public hearing on the proposal conducted by the Planning 3 Commission, December 20, 1988. This variance is granted upon the 4 condition that: 5 1. The proposed sign would be in lieu of all other permitted wall signs 6 provided for that building in the City Sign Code. 7 2. All current leasing and identification signs and banners on and next 8 to the building would be removed as soon as the permanent signage is 9 positioned, sometime around March 1, 1989. 10 3. All sign lighting be turned off by 10:00 P.M. 11 In granting the variance, the Council finds, as did the Planning 12 Commission that: 13 a. the new proposal seems to address the concerns of residents who live 14 near the building which had been communicated to Commissioner Hansen 15 prior to the hearing on the proposal; 16 b. all three conditions which are statutorily required to be satisfied 17 have been satisfactorily addressed with the revised signage proposal. EN 9 J Motion carried unanimously. 21 Chair Wagner indicated the discussion of this application for the most 22 part centered on the hours of operation because the Commissioners were 23 wary of having such a facility operating all hours of the night. He 24 said the applicant, Grace Cooney, 12940 Overlook Road, Dayton, MN, had 25 assured them that there was no need to keep her Touch of Life School of 26 Massage open past 10:00 P.M. because the evening classes she conducted 27 would be out by that time. Weekend hours were necessary to accommodate 28 the occasional seminars Ms. Cooney testified she needs to hold in the 29 facility. The Commission Chair indicated the Commissioners had 30 recommended the offices should only be open from noon to 6:00 P.M. on 31 Sundays. 32 Ms. Cooney was present and indicated the Sunday hours would be no 33 problem for her because she didn't like working Sunday mornings either. 34 Chair Wagner drew the Council's attention to the conditions the 35 Commission recommended be imposed on this permit, which had been taken 36 from the permit granted to Rehab Dynamics, another massage facility 37 approved in March, 1988, saying this applicant also belonged to the 38 American Massage Therapy Association, as well as the long list of other 39 professional associations listed in the agenda packet. He also 40 indicated the school's standing in Dayton had been checked out and there 41 was no reason to believe Ms. Cooney's would not be "a fine operation for St. Anthony."
