01 Chair Madden summarized the minutes, reporting the unanimous Planning 2 Commission recommendation that the Council approve the uniform signage 3 plan and sign criteria proposed by the center owners to include the new 4 pylon center sign and grant the variance the ordinance requires for the 5 proposed tenant directory at the Kenzie Terrace entrance to the Center. 6 He said the pylon and directory would -have the same characteristics as 7 the tenant sign lettering on the store front canopy fascia and their 8 total signage would be well below the square footage the City Ordinance 9 allows one center sign. 10 The Commission representative indicated the Commission recognized the 11 need to give those tenants who might not have ready funds to cover the 12 costs of the new signs a few months after the sign band is up to install 13 temporary canvas lettering until they purchase permanent signage. 14 Commissioner Madden noted the omission of building wall signs from those 15 which would have to be removed after the sign band is up, saying the 16 Commission perceived that signage as well as all under hanging signs 17 should come down as soon as the new sign band is up. After he had 18 explained the reasoning behind the time limit on the variance, the 19 Commission Chair told the Councilmembers the Commissioners had all been 20 very pleased to see these improvements to the center being made and 21 hoped the project would be completed as soon as possible. 22 Rodney Johnson, Eberhardt Property Manager, indicated he had no problem W3 with the removal of the existing building wall signs. He reported his 4 company was negotiating the lease language with the Coast to Coast 25 Hardware Store to become the center anchor and was reassured that the 26 City would consider both the corporate name and logo as one sign for 27 that business. 28 Mayor Sundland told Mr. Johnson the Council had been presented the same 29 photos of the Dallas shopping center signage which was to be the 30 prototype for the Village center by Mr. DiSanto during a meeting earlier 31 in the year. The Mayor also told him the Council would be continuing 32 to encourage the improvement of the shopping center and perceived the 33 plans presented that evening as certainly a step in the right direction. 34 Council Action 35 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske to grant a variance from the 36 City's Sign Ordinance to the Eberhardt Co. on behalf of the St. Anthony 37 Shopping Center for a 6 foot, 6 inch by 6 foot, 1 inch (total 39.6 38 square feet) tenant directory sign to be mounted on the northwest wall 39 of the former Brown Photo location facing Kenzie Terrace as shown in the 4b drawing in the Planning Commission's January 17th and Council's January 41 24th agenda packets. 42 Included in the variance would be: 43 1.
