-2- 1 said was especially true of truck drivers who can't make the turn. As a remedy, ` 2 the Association is considering putting up small "private" signs on both entrance s 3 and putting up -temporary barricades to educate the drivers that the driveway is 4 not part of the City's road system. 5 6 When Commissioner Franzese asked Mr. Krumm whether the proposed sign would fulfill 7 its purpose of identifying the development, he responded, "It 's better than no 8 sign at all . " 9 10 Commissioner Bjorklund referred the Association President to the discussion they 11 had during the June meeting as to whether the use of "Court" might add to the 12 driver' s confusion regarding the driveway. Mr. Krumm said the Association members 13 were of the opinion they would lose their identity if they called themselves the 14 "St. Anthony Townhomes" since there are so many of that particular types of housing 15 in the City. When the Commissioner asked the townhome representative whether he 16 construed his sign would be the sign permitted for the Hedlund PUD, the response 17 was they considered it to be "the sign for the St. Anthony Court". 18 19 Craig Morris, whose sign for Craig & Company had been a point of controversy over 20 the years, was present and had requested his signage be considered along with the 21 townhome signage, since both signs were affected by the same PUD. In his memorandum, 22 Mr. Childs had suggested the Commission take some course of action regarding the 23 condition of Mr. Morris 's sign since the storm April 26th, but Commissioner 24 Bjorkl.und indicated he perceived that direction had already been given on Page 9 25 of the June 19th Commission minutes. 26 27 Motion by Commissioner Bjorklund and seconded by Commissioner Hansen to recommend 28 the Council grant -the necessary variance to the Sign Ordinance to permit the 29 St. Anthony Court Homeowners Association to erect on their property along Silver 30 Lake Road the free standing monument type sign proposed in the Pine Cone Nursery 31 site plans submitted for such a sign June 19th and the sketch of the signage which 32 had been included in the August 21st agenda packet; contingent upon the sign ' s 33 overall height not exceeding 60 inches from the brick base grade, and that all 34 setbacks from the right-of-ways be maintained as proposed by Chester Krumm. The 35 Commission finds that the proposed sign would conform to the type of signage per- 36 mitted in the Sign Ordinance for which the precedent has been set throughout the 37 City; meets the general quality and design criteria set for such signage; and has 38 taken into consideration the fact that there was no opposition to the request 39 expressed during any of the hearings on the matter. 40 41 Motion carried unanimously. 42 4 3 At 7: 53 the hearing was opened to consider a petition from Robbie G. Nelson for a 44 variance to allow construction of an additional 6 feet onto the south-side of the 45 garage located at 3420 Harding Street 'N.E. , which would permit the garage to be 46 built within 3 feet 8 inches of the south property line, where 5 feet are required 47 in the City Ordinance. 48 49 Chairman Zawislak read the notice which had been published in the Bulletin, August 8th, 50 and which had been sent to all property owners of record within 200 feet of the 51 subject property.
