Business from the Floor None Request for Temporary Banner SiRns for Northpark Corporate and Business Centers - Jim Durda, WoodbridRe Properties Durda showed a diagram of the proposed banner which he described to be of white cloth, 30' long x 5' wide, on which "Now Leasing" and a phone number would be printed. Durda said they propose two banners on the three-story building in the Corporate Center, one facing north to County Road E and one facing west to Pine Tree Drive. Durda said a third banner is proposed on Building B in the Business Center, facing Highway 51. Durda said they intend to remove the banners when the space is rented; would like approval of the banner signs for one year. Concern was expressed about the condition of a cloth banner over a one-year time period. Durda said they have had good experience with them for this length of time; if it should become tattered, it will be replaced with a new one; stated that a banner in poor condition would not be in their desired image. Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council grant approval of two temporary banner signs for a period of one year, or until the building space is rented, whichever occurs first; banner to be removed if quality deteriorates. In discussion, it was queried by Sather whether it is consistent to permit a 150 square foot temporary banner sign, and deny a temporary construction sign over 32 square feet in area. It was noted that a wall-mounted sign, in a commercial/industrial district, may be a maximum of 10% of the building facade; proposed banners are under this size maximum. Deputy Clerk Zehm noted that "banners" are not permitted by ordinance, but have been granted approval, in the past, for periods of up to three or four months. Another concern expressed was the impact of the banner on businesses across County Road E. Durda reported that they had a banner on the County Road . E 3-story building for about three months, before looking into City regula- tions, and received no comments from the area businesses. Motion carried (Hicks, Hansen, Woodburn voting in favor of the motion; Sather voting in opposition) (3-1).
