-4- suggested the signage for the townhomes next door might be a good model for the applicant to follow; • recommended approval only if sign extends the full length of the berm or is reduced to fit the berm. Commission Sets Copnditions for Council Approval Motion by Wagner, seconded by Werenicz to recommend the Council grant a variance to the Sign Ordinance requirements for free-standing signs to the J. T. Vargas Co. , Inc. Real Estate, 3909 Silver Lake Road, which would allow the installation of a two sided, 24 square foot (48 square feet total sign area) sign to be mounted above a berm, portions of which are in existence on the property on the following conditons: 1 . that the berm be extended the full length of the sign and that the sign rest not more than six inches above the berm at its lowest point; and 2. the sign not be lighted for night use. In recommending the variance be granted, the Planning Commission finds that: a. when a similar sign was approved for a prior tenant in this building, the intent of the variance was that a full berm be provided under the sign and the same condition should be required of this applicant; b. the applicant had answered all three questions in the application in the affirma- tive as required by statute; • c. the petitioner had indicated compliance with all the requirements of the variance; d. the Commissioners were assured that an amended sketch of the sign which would be installed would have to be submitted before the City issues a permit; and e. no one appeared at the hearing to speak against the variance. Motion carried unanimously. REQUST FOR LOT SPLIT FOR 2809 ST. ANTHONY BOULEVARD Request: subdivision without platting which would allow transfer of triangular parcel of 122 feet X 134.55 feet X 133.40 feet (831 square feet) from 2817 St. Anthony Boulevard (Lot 49) to applicant for 2809 St. Anthony Boulevard (Lot 48) . Proponents: Robert A. Knox, owner and resident who indicated "shock to find property he had used for 20 years did not belong to him". Opponents: none and no calls received by staff. Staff input: reported both lots are subsize, 8,000 square feet where Ordinance requires; 9,000 for the Knox property and 10,200 square feet where 11 ,000 are required for corner lot owned by P. H. McMahon; thus creating no new non-conforming property; but • recommend approval because to do so would merely place the proposed property line where the neighbors had actually thought it was for years.
