Miller explained that the proposed split and consolidation repre- sente an improvement to Lot D without negatively affecting Lot C; noted that Lot D remains a difficult lot to develop and spproval of the request should not be interpreted to mean that an on-site eeptic syatem and/or fill of the existing low land will be approved.

Miller noted that the existing sign (4' x 8') ia on the ground; applicant proposes to mount the sign on two timber posts at a height of 12 feet, in the same location on the site. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the setback variances subject to compliance with all other re- quirements of the sign ordinance, and that consideration be given to limiting the area of the changeable copy portion of the sign, the lighting intensity and the hours the sign would be lighted and visible to residents. Miller noted that the Board of Appeals recommends denial of the sign as currently located because it obstructs vision for traffic; feels adequate sign could be located on building as permitted by the ordinance. It was noted by Miller that a sign on the building would not pro- vide visibility for south-bound traffic on New Brighton Road and Lake Johanna Boulevard. . In discueeion, Scheel said he has not received any complaints about the sign; feels he needs sign visibility from all directions; apparently the sign meets all other requirements of the ordinance except setback.
