APPROVE ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A DECK AND PATIO AT 15945 FINLEY AVENUE NORTH (FLORES) Fernando and Teresa Flores, 15945 Finley Avenue North, have applied for an encroachment agreement to locate deck footings and a concrete slab patio within the drainage and utility easement on property described as Lot 17, Block 1, Creekview Preserve 2nd addition. The deck and patio would encroach approximately 15 feet into the easement. Staff has determined the encroachment would have no negative impact on the drainage or utilities in the area. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Encroachment Agreement for Fernando and Teresa Flores at 15945 Finley Avenue North. APPROVE VARIANCE FOR MONUMENT SIGN AT 12912 FARNHAM AVENUE (WILSON TOOL) Wilson Tool recently received administrative approval of an addition to the main entrance of the building on Farnham Avenue totaling approximately 520 square feet. This gives them a more visible main entrance for their customers. With the new addition, Wilson Tool has submitted a sign application and variance request for a 32 square foot monument sign. The sign is proposed to be located 15'3" from the front property line where 30 feet is required by ordinance; therefore, a variance is required. The building is on a comer resulting in the property having two front yards. Wilson Tool also currently has a monument sign located on 130th Street that is proposed to stay. The sign ordinance states that a property is only allowed to have one monument sign. Since the applicant is requesting two monument signs, a variance is required. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved Resolution 2007-48 approving two variances for Wilson Tool.

Applicant Dwight Harvey was in attendance at the meeting, and Mayor Miron expressed his appreciation for Mr. Harvey's volunteerism.
