7 1 As requested by the Commission, Mr. Childs said he had researched the 2 minutes dealing with the Paul Revere Pizza sign lighting next door 3 and found no evidence of lighting restrictions imposed when that sign 4 had been approved several years ago. The consensus was that no more 5 stringent lighting restrictions should be imposed on this business. 6 Council Action 7 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo, to grant the request from Rapid 8 Oil, 3701 Silver Lake Road, for the necessary variances to the City 9 Sign Ordinance which would allow them to erect the three wall signs 10 they propose on their new building, where the Sign Ordinance only 11 allows one sign per business, and total sign surface not to exceed 12 87-1/2 square feet, where the Ordinance only allows 80, finding as 13 did the Planning Commission that: 14 1. All three conditions required by statutes to be satisfied 15 before these variances can be granted have been done so with this 16 proposal. 17 2. The variances are justified by the unique construction 18 location and architectural design of the building which best 19 utilizes the site and accommodates the traffic flow for the benefit 20 of the business and safety of the customers and traffic approaching 21 that corner. 22 3. The proposal includes landscaping which is above normal for 23 this type of operation. 24 4. There were no expressions of opposition to the variances either 25 before or during the June 21st Planning Commission hearing or 26 Council consideration, July 28th. 27 In granting these variances, the City allows Rapid Oil to keep 28 the same hours of building and site lighting as are kept by the 29 neighboring businesses. 30 Notion carried unanimously_ 31 Motorcycle Sales and Accessories Approved as Conditionally Permitted 32 Uses in City Zoning Ordinance 33 Commissioner Madden reiterated the information Leo Kuelbs, owner of 34 the Harley-Davidson dealership in Savage, MN, had provided the 35 Commissioners during the June 21st hearing on his request that the 36 City Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow the sale of this type of 37 motorcycle and accessories in the vacant space west of B.
