1 _ <br /> 2 Franzese speculated that because the Penney store had been in <br /> 3 that same location for such a long time, it probably <br /> 4 wouldn' t require the same store recognition as a new <br /> 5 business like Get It For Less. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Wingard -didn' t believe the larger sign would be out of place <br /> 8 on the east wall but agreed the smaller sign should <br /> 9 be removed from the south side. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 COMMISSION RECOMMENDS SIGNAGE ADDITION <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Although several of the Commissioners had indicated they believed <br /> 14 the larger_ sign might not be. too big for the east wall, a smaller <br /> 15 sign was recommended in the following: <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Motion by Wagner, seconded by Hansen to recommend the Council grant <br /> 18 Colite Industries, Inc. a variance to the Sign Ordinance which <br /> 19 would allow them to mount another Get It For Less sign on the <br /> 20 vacant southeast corner of Apache Plaza Shopping Center. The said <br /> 21 sign would be 116 square feet to match the existing sign the store <br /> 22 has near its south entrance. In return, the smaller 31. 5 square <br /> 23 foot sign on the south side would be taken down, leaving Get It For <br /> 24 Less with two equal signs, one on each side of their corner <br /> 25 location. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 In recommending that the additional signage be allowed, the <br /> 28 Planning Commission finds that: <br /> 29 <br /> 30 *.the new sign should not be detrimental to the public welfare or <br /> 31 injurious to other property in the neighborhood or village <br /> 32 since it would be mounted on a large empty expanse of shopping <br /> 33 center wall; <br /> 34 <br /> 35 *a particular hardship to the applicant would result if the <br /> 36 strict letter of the regulations are adhered to and the impres- <br /> 37 sion is given that the store is only operating on one side of <br /> 38 the building, whereas Get It For Less actually occupies a large <br /> 39 portion of that particular corner of the center; <br /> 40 <br /> 41 *the conditions upon which this particular variance are based <br /> 42 are unique in that the store only has one . entrance on that <br /> 43 corner even though there, is traffic flow on both sides; <br /> 44 <br /> 45 *no one spoke against the variance during the Commission hearing <br /> 46 and, in fact, there was testimony favoring the additional sign- <br /> 47 age; and <br /> 48 <br /> 49 *the Apache management had assured staff the new signage fit <br /> 50 into its signage plans for the center. <br /> 51 <br /> 52 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 53 <br /> 54 <br /> 55 <br />
