i Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 15, 2010 Page 3 1 2 Commissioner Crone noted that it was stated at the previous Planning Commission meeting that 3 there are businesses that are not interested in moving into Silver Lake Village because they are 4 not able to have a sign out front. She questioned what businesses these are and if the current 5 request meets the applicants needs without the directional sign. Ms. Brenda Thomas, Vice 6 President of Property Management with Doran Companies, replied that there are no specific 7 examples of a business not coming to the center because they are not able to have a sign. The 8 signage is a good marketing piece for the center to be able to offer. 9 10 Chair Jensen suggested the possibility of listing different business names on opposite sides of the 11 sign, which would create an opportunity for 12 new names in the six new spaces. 12 13 Commissioner Chaput requested clarification on whether the proposed sign plan amendment will 14 meet the future needs of the applicant. Mr. Wenkus replied that the feeling now is yes. This 15 provides options for potential new tenants as well as existing tenants. It will greatly help with 16 the current needs at the center. He stated the market is demanding more visibility. As much as 17 the landscaping that was done is appreciated, it is difficult to see the signs on the buildings 18 through the trees. 19 20 Commissioner Crone thanked the applicant for continuing the landscaping around the new 21 monument sign. 22 23 Chair Jensen asked if the applicant has comments on the proposed motion before the Planning 24 Commission.
