1 Ms. VanderHeyden reiterated that the new canopy sign across the front 2 of the building was the one sign allowed for the business, but the half • 3 barrel canopy sign which is proposed be to relocated over the west 4 entrance was one on which the Council was seeking Planning Commission 5 recommendation, taking into consideration only the two sides which would 6 show from the street and the fact that the Stonehouse is located on a 7 corner and can be seen from a number of streets. The Acting City 8 Manager also drew to the Commission's attention the fact that the total 9 sign surface (144 square feet) was under the 150 square feet allowed per 10 business. 11 Ray Nelson, the Liquor Operations Manager, indicated the BAR and GRILL 12 lettering would be painted over on the southern exposure which can't be 13 seen from the street anyway. He also explained to the Chair that the 14 Speakeasy Bar was not being used by the City except for rental purposes 15 at this time and he : perceived the sign at that entrance could be. 16 considered a type of directional sign which is usually allowed any 17 business.

The 39 Chair commented that the proposal was actually for two signs on that 40 side which, of course, was the same as had been allowed the Salvation 41 Army Thrift Store at Apache. 42 Commissioner Hansen said he didn't think the Commission should only be 43 consulted regarding the signage on the west side, perceiving their 44 consideration should be given instead to the whole signage package. 45 Commissioner Franzese told him she guessed that hadn't been done because 46 this was for a City-owned business which used its revenues to offset the 47 residents taxes.
