Soth, City Attorney and Carol Johnson, Clerk/Treasurer. s Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to approve as submitted the minutes for the Council meeting held April 8 , 1980. Motion carried unanimously. Ray Sopcinski presented the actions taken and recommendations made by the Planning Commission as reflected in the minutes of their April 15 , 1980 meeting. J. A. Cadwallader was present to discuss the signage requested as identification of the new Realty World franchise for his realty office at 3901 Silver Lake Road. The franchise owners had indicated the sign restrictions specified by the Planning Commission in their April 15th recommendation *of approval will be acceptable to them but he proposed the total surface area for the sign be specifically written into the approval as 30 square feet on each side to avoid future misunderstandings. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to follow the. recommendations of the Planning Commission to approve signage for -the realty building at 3901 Silver Lake Road which will result in -a "monument" type sign not to exceed 6-1/2 feet in height from the top of the existing berm with a maximum sign size of 30 square feet per side, defining "monument" as a sign mounted on a s full scale base with no visibility between the bottom of the sign and the base on which it is anchored, which base can be larger than the sign itself. In granting approval, the Council finds that: (1) The signage as described will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the neighborhood or the City since its size will not differ substantially from the existing signage it replaces. (2) Not. granting the signage may result in a hardship for the applicant since better visibility for the sign -is needed so traffic proceeding north along Silver Lake Road will be able to recognize the realty office .in time to make the turn on 39th Avenue rather. than having to come back on the resi- dential street, Penrod Lane, having missed the turn the first time.
