to allow the sign proposed by Pizza Hut as long as the sign does not <br />exceed 5 feet above the existing grade at the point of installation. <br />Before voting on the motion, Mr. Marks said he was in opposition be- <br />cause he felt all the Board was accomplishing was to lop 4 feet from <br />the height of the sign with no changes in the appearance of the sign <br />itself which he did not find acceptable. <br />Mr. Johnson contended this was just another case of spot signage and <br />could not accept the motion without some more definite guidelines on <br />which he could base his decision. <br />Mr. Hiebel called for a vote on the motion and there was unanimous <br />agreement to do so. <br />Voting on the Rymarchick motion: <br />Aye: Rymarchick and Hiebel. <br />Nay: Cowan, Marks, Bowerman, Letourneau and Johnson. <br />Motion not carried. <br />Motion by Mr. Cowan and seconded by Mr. Marks to recommend to the <br />Council denial of the request from Pizza Hut, 3801 Stinson Boulevard, <br />for the sign as presented because there is no provision for pylon signs <br />in the City's existing sign ordinance. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Mr. Lawrance then said he would be willing to provide some input into <br />the formulation of guidelines for monumental signs.
