1 PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> 2 AUGUST 20 , 1991 <br /> 3 PAGE 6 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 The City Manager referred to the sign ordinance which stated <br /> 7 that one pylon sign is allowed which may be thirty feet in <br /> 8 height and minimum clearance from grade, a fifty square foot <br /> 9 surface and only one price sign is allowed not to exceed eight <br /> 10 square feet . <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Madden observed that the proposed sign does not meet this <br /> 13 criteria. Burt stated that the Stop & Shop sign identifies the <br /> 14 store and not the brand of gas being sold at the business. He <br /> 15 also noted that there are no dimensions on the bottom of this <br /> 16 sign. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 The City Manager addressed the placement of a proposed <br /> 19 pedestrian crossing in the area of this shopping center. It <br /> 20 will be located near 39th Avenue. Faust stated his concern <br /> 21 with the placement of this pedestrian crossing. Madden <br /> 22 inquired if feedback will be sought from the City Council <br /> 23 regarding the placement of the pedestrian crossing. The City <br /> 24 Manager advised that the matter will be coming to the Planning <br /> 25 Commission before it will be discussed by the City Council . <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Werenicz noted .that the sign at the Stop & Shop measures eight • <br /> 28 by ten. He inquired if the proposed sign could be down sized. <br /> 29 One of the developers responded that he and his partner had <br /> 30 designed this sign and all of them would be this size. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Franzese noted that the sign at the St . Anthony Shopping <br /> 33 Center lists all of its tenants . She was concerned if the <br /> 34 proposed sign would be large enough to list all six tenants . <br /> 35 <br /> 36 The City Manager referred to the sign ordinance which allows <br /> 37 one "price" sign for each curb cut . <br /> 38 <br /> 39 Madden inquired if the Planning Commission was expected to <br /> 40 take a formal action on this issue. The City Manager stated <br /> 41 that this agenda item was for the purposes of discussion and <br /> 42 for the developers to get a "feel" for what should be <br /> 43 addressed or adjusted with their proposal to develop the <br /> 44 shopping center. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Gondorchin stated he finds the proposed signage acceptable. <br /> 47 Faust felt it was a good idea to develop a Comprehensive Sign <br /> 48 Plan. He indicated he found the sign proposal tonight <br /> 49 acceptable but that the five by five proposed sign is very <br /> 50 unrealistic. He suggested that this size should be increased <br /> 51 in the ordinance or all of the other sign sizes should be <br /> 52 reduced. He noted that a five by five sign is not very <br /> 53 effective. • <br /> 54 <br />
