He advised that Phillips 66 <br /> 7 is also requesting they remove their Stop-N-Shop signs at <br /> 8 their other two locations . <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Urbia observed that if the Stop-N-Shop signs they may <br /> 11 have a less difficult time getting the gas brand signs in <br /> 12 place on the canopy sign. This would result in no non- <br /> 13 conforming signs . <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Werenic2 felt removal of the Stop-N-Shop sign would <br /> 16 impact negatively in the visibility for the store which <br /> 17 was a major concern of the strip mall .

He suggested that staff and the owners <br /> 41 meet and try to work something acceptable out . He also <br /> 42 observed that. there are already many signs at this <br /> 43 business in place. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Faust agreed there appeared to be an impasse and that the <br /> 46 Planning Commission is attempting to negotiate something <br /> 47 that ultimately could not be supported for approval as <br /> 48 there is no basis to approve. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 The City Manager felt a change to the Sign Ordinance <br /> 51 could be a possible solution as the present draft does <br /> not address this situation .
