She outlined the discussion and action taken 15 at the May 18, 2010 Planning Commission meeting. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes 16 stated the modifications as recommended by the Planning Commission were reviewed by the 17 City Council at the regularly scheduled Council meeting on May 25, 2010. After discussion, the 18 City Council voted to table the request until the June 22, 2010 Council meeting. Council asked 19 the Planning Commission to review new revisions to be presented to the Planning Commission at 20 the regularly scheduled June 15, 2010 meeting. The Council further asked that the Planning 21 Commission submit a single resolution with additional findings and their revised 22 recommendations. 23 24 Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes advised that the revised sign plan from Doran 25 Construction, LLC shows plans for one new ground sign adjacent to Wendy's on the Wal-Mart 26 Tract and an existing modified ground sign in front of Smashburger. It also shows a modified 27 Cub sign that has been reduced in height from 26 feet to 24 feet. 28 29 Chair Jensen noted for the record that the revised plan no longer includes a directional sign. 30 31 Mr. Dale Wenkus, Vice President of Architecture with Doran Companies, addressed the 32 Planning Commission and stated that the revised plan is a compromise that has taken into 33 consideration requests of the City Council and comments of the Planning Commission. The 34 directional sign seemed to add questions and concerns and was eliminated from the plan 35 amendment. The Cub sign has been reduced from a height of 26 feet to 24 feet. 36 37 Commissioner Heinis inquired about the height of the current Cub sign. Mr. Wenkus replied that 38 the sign is currently 20 feet tall. With the requested additional four feet the sign will be 24 feet 39 in height. 40 4-17-- Ca ssioner rone uestione -wh-the-additional foot-e--on-the-Cub-si- would-re uire ari -- q Y g gn--- - q - -- 42 increase in height rather than removing bricks from the bottom of the sign. Mr. Wenkus replied 43 that it would be difficult to modify the sign due to the structural support within the brick. He 44 commented that the brick and stone within the shopping center and on the sign provide a 45 residential/light commercial feel, and that the additional height will make the sign more in 46 balance with the size of the base.
