He felt therewas a comprehensive plan in place and the signage should <br /> 14 not be done "piece meal". He was concerned that a retailer on the other end of the mall would <br /> 15 come forward and request an amendment to their signage. <br /> 16 Chair Bergstrom also stated his concern of setting a precedent. He stated he did not feel a change <br /> 17 in corporate standards was a good reason to amend the comprehensive sign plan. <br /> 18 Commissioner Gondorchin stated he had been inclined to support the amendment at first because <br /> 19 he felt it was a unique situation at Apache Plaza. He would however, like to know the reason for <br /> 20 the change. He stated he felt a change in corporate standards was irrelevant. <br /> 21 There was Co mmission consensus that they were concerned because no one from Super Valu <br /> .22 appeared to answer the questions of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission wants <br /> 23 to support the redevelopment of Apache Plaza but are concerned with the continued requests for <br /> 24 amendments to the comprehensive signage plan. The concerns of the Commission were <br /> 25 unanimous but the positions to support the amendment were divided. <br /> 26 Motion by Makowske, seconded by Bergstrom,to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 P.M. <br /> 27 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 28 Respectfully submitted, <br /> 29 Lorri Kopischke <br /> 30 TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial <br />
