Commission minutes , <br /> page 3, paragraph 5 , line 11, Mr. Bjorklund was incorrectly referred to <br /> as an "estimator" . This should be changed to "-appraiser" . <br /> Motion by Mr. Bowerman and .seconded .by Mrs . Makowske to approve the <br /> minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of July 20 , 1982 . <br /> Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Mr. Bowerman was designated to represent the Planning Commission at the <br /> Council meeting scheduled for August 24 , 1982 . <br /> • Mr. Jones opened the hearing on the Elmwood Lutheran sign variance <br /> request. <br /> Mr. Berg gave an .overview of the request, stating the proposal was a <br /> fencelike free standing sign; treated stained brown lumber; yellow <br /> letters ; 5 feet high by 8 feet long. The lettering, or message, would <br /> simply state Elmwood Lutheran and be placed on two 2" X 8" X 8 ' boards , <br /> two sided. He also stated the proposer, Rev. Joseph Valtinson, had <br /> al:teredr2 his original proposal wherein he requested two .signs that <br /> would have been located one off the northernly driveway and one off <br /> the southernly driveway , to, one sign to be located ..on that area <br /> between the driveways . In response to questions from the Commission, <br /> Mr. Berg stated the reason for the variance is that free standing signs <br /> are presently not allowed; that he intends to propose that this type <br /> of signage would be allowable under the new sign ordinance ; and that <br /> the only other signage at the site was another free standing monument <br /> sign located near the church. <br /> Rev. Valtinson spoke next stating the reason for the request was <br /> simply that he needed it for identification because the church is - <br /> set back so far from - the roadways and consequently many people are <br /> missing the turnoffs . He further stated the present sign is set <br /> back way too far to be of any use as identification. <br /> • Chairman Jones closed the hearing at 7 :55 P .M. and discussion among <br /> the Commission members commenced. <br /> t <br />
