Council Meeting January 9, 1990 page 5 • 1 signs were more advertising than directional and this is inappropriate. 2 Also, removal of the Autumn Woods logo on signs #/2 and #/4 was requested 3 by the- Planning Commission to reduce sign size. Commissioner Wagner felt 4 that too much signage was originally requested for the size of the complex. 5 He was satisfied that the compromise recommendation addressed this 6 concern. 7 8 Paul Brewer, representing LaNel Financial , advised the Council that the 9 amended signage request was what the developer felt was essential for 10 effective signage. He stated that they make their own signs which lends 11 an uniform appearance. He showed photos to the Council of the signage at 12 two other LaNel developments, Twin Lake North and Broadway Village. Brewer 13 was of the opinion the signage at these two developments reflected a 14 "professional package" image. He also noted the necessity of the sign 15 near the entrance adjacent to the Walker Building. 16 17 Councilmember Enrooth felt signs #/2 and .#4 were clearly more directional 18 rather than advertising. Councilmember Marks agreed and suggested that 19 differences in sign size may be confusing to motorists seeking a specific 20 building within the complex. 21 22 Discussion continued regarding each sign size and the use of the logo. • 23 Councilmember Enrooth suggested the use of the Autumn Woods "branches" 24 would lend continuity to all of the signs and was very attractive. 25 26 Motion by Marks, second by Enrooth to. approve the sign variance request �7 of LaNel Financial for Autumn .Woods Apartments with the following restric- 28 tions; sign #/1 will be a maximum of 15 square feet, with the same restric- �9 tion for sign ##2 and sign #/3; and sign ##4 will be no more than 51 square 30 feet and that the logo will be allowed. 31 32 Roll call : Marks, Enrooth, Ranallo - aye Makowske - abstain 33 34 Motion by Ranallo, second by Marks to grant a variance to LaNel Financial 35 for Autumn Woods Apartments for three "Now Renting" banner signs to be 36 removed by December 1 , 1990, and that all temporary Autumn 'Woods signage 37 be removed by May 1 , 1990• 38 39 Roll call : Marks, Enrooth, Ranallo - aye Makowske - abstain 40 41 w 42 2.
