Page 4 Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Haik to change the date for the Public Hearing on the 29th Avenue Improvement Project from June 8th to 8:00 P.M. Thursday, June 17th, 1976 when the bids could be accepted and the contracts awarded for the project. The change was necessitated by time requirements for advertising for such bids which could not have been met by June 8th. Mr. Dulgar asked the Council for guidance on the application of the assessment policy and determination of the benefited prop- erties on 29th and the Council decided to wait until they could review the City's Assessment Policy and set June 8th as the date on which the discussion could be continued. Mr. Jack Lawrance of Signcrafters Outdoor Display, Inc. arrived at 8:40 P.M. and discussed the request for a new monumental type sign for Poppin Fresh which he had made at the last Planning Board meeting. Mr. Rymarchick said the Board had felt a sign 6 feet high was consistent with other signage in the City but said they were not aware that the existing sign was 7 foot 6 inches tall. Mr. Lawrance said the new sign was needed to identify Poppin Fresh as a restaurant and he wanted the variance to the sign ordinance continued with an additional 18 inches of signage allowed to accomodate the logo which now identifies almost all Poppin Fresh restaurants throughout the nation. The square footage of the present sign would not be exceeded and the signage of 133 sq. ft. now on the building itself would be cut down and made more attract- ive. Motion by Councilman Sauer, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to grant a variance to the sign ordinance to Poppin Fresh to allow a monumental sign at 3701 Stinson Boulevard which would be six feet wide but would be increased in height from the existing height of 7 feet 6 inches above grade unless the leaf on the logo cannot be placed on the side. Motion carried unanimously.
