Mr. Kellison submitted a proposal and 11 drawings that he believed to be sensitive to the City's preferences as well as considerate of the 12 shopping center. The plan indicated there would five signs, each 3 feet by 12 feet. Mr. Kellison 13 mentioned that if the comprehensive sign plan was approved,The Hitching Post would agree not 14 to install any window signage. 15 16 Mr. Kellison mentioned that Mr. Furseth had requested consideration of a single monument near 17 the edge of the parking lot, which would illustrate the signs required in the marketing agreement. Mornson stated that the City would allow for each business to incorporate a ground sign of a 19 maximum of eight feet tall, but a monument sign(or pylon)would require additional considera- 20 tion. 21 Horst mentioned that he believed the pylon proposal was not complying with the Commission's 22 original intent, and would cause additional study and discussion. 23 Hanson stated that he felt comfortable with allowing wall signage as opposed to pylon signage. 24 He questioned whether a restriction could be imposed to turn the signs off at midnight; however, 25 he added that the signs would be facing away from any residential areas. 26 Mr. Kellison reminded the Commission that Mr. Furseth agreed not to install any window 27 signage if the proposed Comprehensive Plan was approved. 28 Motion made by Horst, seconded by Bergstrom, to recommend approval of the Comprehensive 29 Sign Package as proposed, recognizing that excess signage would be present, but understanding 30 that installation of window signage would not take place. 31 Motion carried unanimously. 32 Bergstrom encouraged Mr. Kellison to attend the City Council meeting on August 24, 1999 to support the Comprehensive Sign Plan. 34 VII.
