1 The other Commissioners had the following to say about the proposal: <br /> 2 Wingard: stated that it would be his recommendation to allow the <br /> 3 business to retain the pylon sign on the roof as proposed <br /> 4 with a 64 square foot copy and to design the front sign to <br /> 5 encompass only an area which would bring the signage to <br /> 6 into conformance with the total sign surface allowed by <br /> 7 the ordinance; <br /> 8 perceived, however, that the advertising on the side facing <br /> 9 Highway 88 would be better done by newspaper or some other <br /> 10 form of advertising. <br /> 11 Werenicz: concurred with Commissioner Wingard' s suggestion that the <br /> 12 reader board be eliminated altogether; <br /> 13 advised that he would never vote for that signage which he <br /> 14 personally considered to be "very tacky" and "of little <br /> 15 value" when it came to attracting business to any type of <br /> 16 establishment; <br /> 17 agreed that well placed newspaper ads would do more towards <br /> 18 informing the community that a well run, family oriented, <br /> 19 restaurant would be opening in that location than the <br /> 20 "tremendously large and gaudy" signs illustrated in the <br /> 1 drawings the sign company had provided the Commissioners <br /> 2 that evening; <br /> 23 noting the discrepancies between the drawings and the origi- <br /> 24 nal application letter, suggested the applicant and his sign <br /> 25 company should sit down with staff to ascertain just what <br /> 26 constitutes acceptable signage for St. Anthony, so the Com- <br /> 27 missioners would know what they are talking about at the next <br /> 28 meeting. <br /> 29 Welcome Extended to Restaurant Owner <br /> 30 Chair Franzese apologized for not extending a welcome to the community <br /> 31 to Mr. Farrell at the beginning of the hearing, telling him St. Anthony <br /> 32 does need a new family type restaurant and that she perceived his best <br /> 33 advertising would more likely come from word of mouth of his customers. <br /> 34 Hearing Tentatively Continued to November 30th <br /> 35 No residents were present to provide further input to the discussion <br /> 36 and at 8 : 10 P.M. the Chair announced the continuance of the hearing <br /> 37 November 30th based on a quorum of Commissioners being able to attend <br /> 38 that evening. The applicant was assured that he would be notified if <br /> 39 there was any change in the meeting date. <br /> is 6 <br />
