` -3- the universal sign for a barber shop is a barber pole, such signage should be easily recognizable . As to the question of whether an agreement had been previously made with the tenant regarding the sign, Mr. Soth advised that any agreements made regarding the pro- perty "rest with the property owner" and it is his right to remove the sign irregardless of prior agreements with the tenants . The Public Hearing was closed at 7 : 58 p.m. In granting a variance for the barber pole (since it is a free-standing sign) , the Council found that the sign will not be detrimental to other property in the surrounding neighborhood and the pole will be an improvement over the other non-conforming signs which will be removed. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve the remodeling plans as presented by Hobie Swan for his building at 2501 Kenzie Terrace. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to grant a variance for a free-standing sign to be located as proposed in the remodeling plans for the building at 2501 Kenzie Terrace on the condition the existing free-standing sign in front of the building is removed as proposed by the owner. • Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of the proposed signage for the Saliterman shopping center was resumed with Chuck Lerberg, of the Norquist Sign Company, telling the Council the $4 , 500 sign his company proposes erecting in the existing planter along Kenzie Terrace meets all the require- ments of the City Sign Ordinance and the shopping center owners feel it is essential to the identification of the center. Mr. Soth confirmed that though the sign as presented does appear to meet all requirements , the City Ordinance, however, requires Council approval of such a sign. Mr . Marks reiterated the concern he had expressed at the Commission meeting whether further development of the shopping center area should be pursued while the comprehensive planning for the area is being formulated, but conceded the delay on the request might be until the first of the year. He also reported there had been some question as to how many shopping centers , per se, there are in that area known as the St. Anthony Shopping Center, and wondered if there was not a possibility of as many as four identification signs being erected along Kenzie Terrace , if one is allowed. Information regarding the sign' s value had not been presented to the Commission, he said. He also suggested further information regarding the housing for the elderly considered for the property across Kenzie Terrace might be pertinent to the planning for the area as well as the determination of what the Minnesota Project might offer in the way of aid in de- ciding the direction that area will go in the future. The Council did not consider these questions to be relevant to the sign request
