-4- 4. Unless attached to and made a part of the principal structure, any portion, or eave, or any other portion of an accessory building, shall • not be closer than five feet from any portion of a principal structure. . . . Motion by Councilman Makowske and seconded by Councilman Marks to approve the first reading of Ordinance 1985-002, with changes in wording recommended by the City Attorney. ORDINANCE 1985-002 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1., ITEMS 2 AND 4 OF SUBDIVISION 2 OF APPENDIX I OF THE 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES In approving the ordinance amendment, the Council finds, as did the Planning Commission that: 1 . A public hearing on the amendment had been conducted by the Planning Commission, March 19, 1985; 2. There was no opposition to the amendment demonstrated at that meeting or during the April 9, 1985 Council consideration; and 3. Clarification and changes in the ordinance were perceived to be necessary due to multiple interpretations of the ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. • Councilman Ranallo indicated he concurred that there might be a need for temporary signage to identify the Egekvist Bake Shops thrift store during the period in which 37th Avenue N.E. is under construction, but he wanted to be certain the sign proponents had clearly understood there would be no more signage permitted for the store after the roadway was reconstructed. The Councilman recalled the City had limited the amount of signage for other businesses in that same area and said he did not want any further relaxation of the Sign Ordinance which he perceived could result in a "sign happy City". The Manager indicated he would closely monitor the bakery signage so the proposed portable sign would not be put out before the work on the roadway is commenced or kept up after construction is completed. Mr.' Hansen told -the Council he believed the Egekvist representative had been made aware that the City intended to retain its stringent sign ordinance with no exceptions. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to grant Egekvist Bake Shops the necessary variance to the City Sign Ordinance which would allow them to erect a temporary, substantially constructed, portable sign, not to exceed 30 square feet on a side, to identify the thrift bakery at 3005-37th Avenue N.E. , only during the construction phases of 37th Avenue N.E. , with the sign approved, and actual dates when it could be up, determined by the City staff. Motion carried unanimously. The- Commission 's interpretation related to the Genuine Parts store signage was noted • but not addressed by the Council .
