Mr. Pederson suggested compromising by lowering the sign with less square footage, <br /> drop it to 22 feet rather than 31 feet. Mr. Williams asked if the sign becomes 2 feet <br /> higher when the flower box is removed. Mr. Kaneski stated the height was measured <br /> from the asphalt. <br /> The Planning Commission asked if the two existing freestanding signs could be <br /> combined into one sign. Mr. Kaneski stated he couldn't speak for Mr. Laudenbach who <br /> is making an investment in the community. The BP sign cannot be removed. Last month <br /> Mr. Laudenbach stated it was his intent to keep that sign. <br /> Mr. Kaneski stated the sign is grandfathered in;they are not increasing the size. <br /> A motion was made by Scott Pederson, seconded by Bill Habein,to approve remodeling <br /> the existing sign not to exceed 24 feet in height measured from the parking lot pavement <br /> with a maximum of 150 square feet per side. <br /> An amendment to the motion was made by Dean Williams to lower existing structure to <br /> 20 feet, rather than 24 feet and the signage be located within the 2 eyebeams. <br /> Amendment died for lack of a second. <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: Mr. Habein,Aye; Ms. Brown, Aye; Mr. Derksen,Nay; Mr. <br /> Williams,Nay; Mr. Hallan, Aye; Mr. Pederson, Aye.

The pervious area was increased for <br /> the preview sign. Mr. Williams asked if it could be faced west rather than northwest. He <br /> was looking for screening from the north. <br /> A motion was made by Dean Williams, seconded by John Derksen,to approve menu <br /> board and the access sign. <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: Mr. Habein,Nay; Ms. Brown,Nay; Mr. Derksen, Aye; Mr. <br /> Williams,Aye; Mr. Hallan, Aye; Mr. Pederson,Nay; Mr. Adams,Nay.
