Hearing to consider an application by Elmo Park
Apartments for a Conditional Use Permit to locate a
sign with a lesser setback than required and also to
allow a larger sign than permitted at 1301 Highway No.
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 Council 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.
CASE NO: VN87 -10 (85 -217)

CASE NO: CUP87 -27
Hearing to consider an application by Dale Feste for a
Conditional Use Permit to construct an auto repair
facility at 630 11th Avenue South.
Mr. Feste and his architect reviewed the plans with the
Commission. A new site plan was presented which moved
the proposed building to conform to the Ordinance. No
side or front yard variances would be needed. The
proposed building would abut the north property line.
w r
Mr. Robert Siedare, owner of the property to the north,
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
stated that he had not been contacted prior to the
meeting and would like to have more information.
The Commission stated a need for clarification of the
ordinance in regard to building to the property line
and obtaining approval of the abutting property owner.
Staff noted that the building could be constructed with
variances as originally proposed.
Mr. Denny moved and Mrs. Brandon seconded a motion that
the hearing be continued to the November meeting and

ordinance in regard to abutting property from the City
Attorney. Motion carried unanimously.
