-4- the President of Garment Graphics located next to the paper company had supported granting the variance for the ground sign as well as the retention of the existing wall signage in a letter presented during the Commis- sion hearing and included in the Council agenda packet. Opponents: none and staff had indicated no calls had been received either for or against the variance prior to the January 20th hearing or January 27th Council consideration. Staff input: City Manager' s January 16th memorandum to the Commission. Commission' s to allow the requested ground sign as proposed, as well recommenda- as the larger "L" logo on the west side of the property. tion: However, in order that excessive signage on the build- ing should be avoided, the Commission recommended the Council require the removal of the signage on the north side of the building. Council Action Motion by Marks, seconded by Makowske to grant the necessary variances to the Sign Ordinance which would allow Leslie Paper Company to erect a ground sign with 60 square feet of sign surface, where the Ordinance only allows 36 square feet, to be sited as they propose on their property at 2830 South Anthony Lane. The said sign is to be installed as the applicants have proposed, of very substantial construction on a sodded berm. In addition, Leslie Paper will be allowed to retain the large "L" logo they have on the west wall of their building, but will be required to remove the smaller "L" and "Leslie Paper" lettering from the north wall. In granting these variances, the Council finds, as did the Planning Commission, that: * all three conditions required to be satisifed affirmatively before such variances can be granted have been met with this proposal; * no one spoke against the variances at the January 20th Com- mission hearing or during the January 27th Council considera- tion but, rather, a letter from the next door business, Garment Graphics, supported the paper company' s request. Motion carried unanimously.
