Councilmember Pellegrin asked how the developer felt about this. Mr. Eibenhsteiner responded this was a deal breaker. Councilmember Pellegrin stated he did not see Councilmember Grant's concerns regarding the signage. Mayor Aplikowski agreed. She asked Councilmember Grant to explain his rationale. Council member Grant stated large signage would not blend into the development and he was concerned it would look like a strip mall. Councilmember Larson stated he was an advocate of the City establishing expectations different from other cities and signage was part of this. He stated he agreed that this was a place they were going as a destination and not a place someone would happen on. He stated the signage was there to guide someone to a location and he supported the amendment.
