• -8- -Mr. Nelson had satisfactorily addressed all three questions which had to be answered in the affirmative for the City to grant this variance; and -precedents have been set for allowing double garages in that same block and, in fact, the current City Zoning Ordinance requires double garages for all new construction. Motion carried unanimously. The Mayor noted the Commission vigilance related to signage they perceived to be nonconforming around the City. Mr. Childs reiterated that if the Vargas signage on the real estate office at 3909 Silver Lake Road is not constructed in a manner consistent with the City' s requirements by May 10th, the matter would be referred back to the Commission at their May meeting for consideration of removal of the sign altogether. Councilmember Enrooth indicated he was glad to hear that because he perceived the problem with signage at that location had dragged on for over five years and he thought the sign area should just be leveled off if satisfactory signage is not provided by this tenant. Commissioner Hansen was thanked for his report.
