Mr. Bloch explained that the sign would be <br /> approximately 16 square feet to be affixed to the rear of <br /> what is referred to as Building 2 facing Kenzie Terrace. He <br /> further stated that the sign will read, "For Lease, Coldwell <br /> Banker Commercial Real Estate, Call Bonnie Franza or Peter <br /> Bloch, 338-4700 . " He stated the sign would be wood, and that <br /> the words "for lease" would be in red and that the remainder <br /> of the lettering would be in blue or black letters on a white <br /> background. <br /> Commissioner Wagner asked how long the sign <br /> would remain. Mr . Bloch replied that it is their practice to <br /> remove all signs once leasing efforts are completed. He <br /> stated that although they have a twelve-month contract they <br /> hope to be able to remove the sign in six months; otherwise, <br /> they would return to the Planning Commission with a request <br /> for a six-month extension. He further stated that they had <br /> decided that affixing a sign to the building would impede <br /> traffic less than a post-mounted sign in the pavement. <br /> Commissioner Hansen asked whether the sign <br /> ordinance prohibited a temporary sign from being affixed to a <br /> building, but Acting City Manager VanderHeyden replied that <br /> that is not the case. <br /> Mr. Bloch assured the Commission that Coldwell <br /> Banker would not return to ask for additional signs . <br /> No one else was present to speak either for or <br /> against the variance, and the hearing was closed at 9 : 10 p.m. <br /> Planning Commission Recommendation <br /> Motion by Franzese, seconded by Brownell , to recommend <br /> granting a variance to Coldwell Banker for the purposes of <br /> erecting a sign reading "for lease" and the name and number <br /> to contact for leasing of the St. Anthony Shopping Center; <br /> based upon the fact the no calls opposing the variance were <br /> received and no one spoke against the request during the <br /> hearing; that the request satisfies the conditions for <br /> granting of the variance; that the request is understood to <br /> be a temporary request for a six-month period; that it is in <br /> the interests of the City as well as the St . Anthony Shopping <br /> Center to lease its space; and that the City wishes to lend <br /> its assistance to that effort. <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Chair Madden advised the Petitioner that the <br />
