Regular Council Meeting 3 <br /> November 27, 1990 <br /> 1 Mayor Ranallo said the question is whether to put four signs or one on each <br /> 2 monument. <br /> • 3 <br /> 4 Hansen added that Newman's presentation was accurate, but not with regard <br /> 5 to the fence. The safety issue was discussed and Hansen believes there <br /> 6 would be a visibility issue. He said that if you envision the roads just <br /> 7 plowed and snow piled, drivers would have to pull quite a ways out to clear <br /> 8 the structures. Three Commissioners agreed that the hardships were met <br /> 9 and three did not agree. Those who did not agree, Hansen said, felt that two <br /> 10 signs or three signs would be adequate; therefore, there was no agreement. <br /> 11 He also said the Commissioners had questioned whether there was anything <br /> 12 unique about this situation. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Marks said he agreed that there is a hardship and need for signage. He said <br /> 15 this is a reasonable request. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Motion by Marks, second by Wagner to support this variance allowing four <br /> 18 signs, two at each entrance and that the additional 50 ft. requested, total of <br /> 19 250 sq. ft., be granted also. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Enrooth said he was "uncomfortable" with four signs. <br /> 22 Makowske said getting into the property without the signs could be seen as a <br /> 23 hardship. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Hansen said address and directional signs were discussed by the <br /> 26 Commissioners and the Company said no. Newman clarified that there would <br /> 27 be no address signs; however, with regard to directional signs, he would be <br /> 28 open to the wishes of the Council. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Enrooth said his problem is having identical signage on a secondary entrance. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Newman said the purpose of the signs is to identify the development for <br /> 33 visitors; and secondly, he feels it lends a sense of neighborhood for the <br /> 34 residents. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Wagner reminded the Council that if the monument does not have a sign, <br /> 37 then it becomes part of the fence. The Company would need another <br /> 38 variance or move the monument <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Mayor Ranallo said that if the vote should fail, the Company can return for <br /> 41 another variance that would comply. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 <br /> • 44 <br /> 45 <br />
