7 •
Katherine Shagel , representing Sage Management Company ,
appeared before the Commission . She stated that Elmo
Park Apartments will be changing their name to
Brentwood Park Apartments and will need new signs . She
also stated a need for a second sign due to the size of
the area.
It is the feeling of staff that there is not need for
two large signs on the site . The ordinance allows a
smaller sign of 12 square feet which could be placed on
the west end of the property. It was also noted that
there are two temporary signs on the property which
have been placed without permits .
Ms . Richardson moved and Mrs . Brandon seconded a motion
recommending to the Couneil approval of the Conditional
Use Permit with the following Findings of Fact: 1 .
That the principal purpose of the easterly sign is to
identify the townhomes , 2 . That the size of the sign
is proportional to the townhomes ; and with the
Conditions: 1 . That only the easterly sign is approved
for a zero setback and 25 square feet per side . 2 .
That the temporary signs be removed or a permit
obtained . Motion carried . Mr . McGlennen voting nay.

� the proposed building to conform to the Ordinanee . No

stated that he would be against the proposal . He felt
"` that it would create a problem on his property due to
the front yard of the proposed building. He also
