-8- 1 5. The City's right-of-way which averages 62 feet in that area would not only • 2 supplement the eight foot setback but would provide sufficient green area 3 between the facility and Highway 88. 4 5 Before the vote was taken an -amendment offered by Commissioner Hansen to restrict 6 the hours of operation was withdrawn and the following motion to amend defeated 7 as follows : 8 9 Motion by Commissoner Wagner and seconded by Commissioner Jones to require the 10 lighting for the drive-in facility to be shut off after business hours. 11 12 Commissioner Hansen disagreed wi-th the motion, saying he perceived this particular 13 drive-in teller was "unique in itself" as compared to other teller facilities in 14 the Village in -that it could almost serve as a "night light for the parking lot". 15 Commissioner Bowerman agreed, saying "there are probably 40 other lights burning 16 all night on that building now and I 'd be reluctant to restrict the same safety 17 measure for this business". 18 19 Commissioner Wagner tried to amend the wording- of his motion -to indicate that "the 20 lighting should be reduced to a security level after hours", but Commissioner Madden 21 said he perceived that woul-d be "amending an-'amendment which would change the 22 entire meaning -Qf the original amendment and would not be in order". 23 24 Voting on the original motion to amend: 25 26 Aye: Wagner and Jones. 27 28 Nay: Bowerman, Madden, Hansen, Franzese, and' Werenicz. 29 30 Motion to amend not carried. 31 32 Commissioner Wagner di'd -not restate the amendment and Commissioner Bowerman called 33 the question on the original motion which was carried unanimously. 34 35 At 9:10 P.M. the. hearing was opened to consider the request from B. N. Metro Credit 36 Union for variances to the Sign Ordinance which allow three identification signs 37 for their office at 2500 Highway 88 (4110 Northgate Office Center) . 38 39 The notice of the hearing had also been published in the August 6th Bulletin and 40 mailed to all property owners of record within 200 feet of the subject property as 41 required by the Ordinance. In the same August 15th memorandum as he had addressed 42 the applicant's request for a conditional use permit and setback variance, Mr. 43 Childs had indicated he perceived the requested signage would be extremely minimal 44 since all three- signs would be profile and understated in keeping with other 45 signage on the building. 46 . 47 Th.e Manager reiterated that staff had received no calls related to the .signage which 48 he identified as one 16. square foot sign to be installed under the "2500" (to be 49 raised up to accomodate the sign); a 9 square foot sign on the back of the building 50 to provide identification for the credit union office from the shopping center side; _91 and a 4 square foot�si.gnfacing Highway 88 to be erected on the drive-in facility 52 the Commission had just recommended the Council approve. Mr. Childs reiterated 53 that the total square footage of all three signs would only be 29 square feet , 54 where the ordinance allowed 40 square .feet, which he perceived was very deceiving -55 when it came to this particular office space which contained 2,200 square feet where 56 other units averaged 400 square feet, making it the "anchor" business in the office 57 center.
