He felt the <br /> 7 nine foot clearance was preferable. <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Councilmember Marks inquired if the comprehensive sign plan <br /> 17 replaces a variance. The City Manager advised that it does . <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Councilmember Marks noted that the policy of the Council had <br /> 13 traditionally been to keep the size of signs limited as this <br /> 14 is more effective and gives an uncluttered appearance. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Councilmember Enrooth observed that the red color of the sign <br /> 17 will make it very obvious . <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Motion by Wagner , second by Marks to approve the comprehensive <br /> 20 sign plan with the condition that a B5 sign is used and there <br /> 21 will be landscaping which allows it to be nine plus feet ground <br /> 22 clearance and the pylon sign is of a B5 type. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Motion carried unanimously <br /> 25 <br /> 40 2 .
