• 1 Queen owners to keep the signage they have on the two sides of the new 2 mansard roof on their building at 2612 Highway 88 but to deny the 3 retention of the rotating roof sign on top of the building. In 4 granting the variance for the logos and lettering on the mansard roof, 5 the Council finds that: 6 1 . A particular hardship to the applicant would result if the strict 7 letter of the ordinance regulations are adhered to because the 8 building' s size seems to call for more signage for a building 9 which fronts on two platted streets and has traffic flowing 10 around three sides, making that parcel unique to that particular 11 area and neighborhood; 12 2 . Granting this variance will not be detrimental to the public 13 welfare or injurious to other properties in the same area; 14 3 . No public expressions of opposition to the variance being granted 15 had been presented during the Planning Commission or Council 16 hearings on this issue. 17 In denying the retention of the 4 X 6 foot rotating sign on the roof, 18 the Council finds that: 19 1 . The grandfather clause under which the Dairy Queen had been 20 allowed to keep the sign after the new Sign Ordinance had been 1 written, no longer applies because the building had been com- 2 pletely leveled and rebuilt in 1986 ; 23 2. This parcel could not be considered to be unique enough to over- 24 ride possible injury to other property owners in an area where a 25 strong precedent for disallowing that type of signage had 26 already been established; and 27 3 . Sufficient hardship had not been demonstrated to justify granting 28 a variance for a type of signage not allowed other property 29 owners in the same area. 30 Voting on the motion: 31 Aye: Ranallo, Marks, Enrooth, Makowske. 32 Nay: Sundland. 33 Motion carried. 34 Council Concurs With Commission Tabling TCF Expansion Request 35 The general consensus was that allowing the proposed expansion would 36 probably not cure the parking and traffic problems at the Silver Lake 37 Road site and that further study of those problems was necessary. • 8
