City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />June 2, 2009 <br />Motion made by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Pangell, to <br />schedule the Public Hearing, regarding the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Amendment, <br />during the Meeting on August 4, 2009. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />V. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Creative Kids Academy – Sign Review <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported that Creative Kids Academy erected a sign. He stated <br />that the new owner has a few suggestions for additional signs: one on the building, and <br />some pole banner signs. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson stated that, if the wall sign is less than 10 percent of the wall <br />area it is allowed; however, they can only have one free-standing sign. He added that light <br />pole banners are currently not allowed; however, that rule could possibly be changed. <br /> <br />Chair Love inquired about the pole banner signs. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson replied that they are usually painted on a heavy canvas material. <br />He stated that such signs could be limited; i.e., one every 20 feet or so, or they could <br />require that it be on a light pole with a working light. <br /> <br />Chair Love stated that the Commission would have to address what type of sign can be <br />placed on a light pole. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Parucci stated that pole signs, if properly maintained, do not look bad. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Pangell stated that this owner is asking for five free-standing signs. <br /> <br /> Chair Love stated that the Commission does not want to change the Ordinance regarding <br />the free-standing signs. <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson recommended that the City could approve the wall sign for <br />now, and continue a discussion regarding the others. He stated that they could check with <br />neighboring communities and review their specific language. He added that the <br />Commission may want to have something in the Ordinance that covers non-exclusive <br />products. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />2. Mortenson Sign <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson reported that Mortenson proposed a sign on their building. He <br />stated that the sign proposed is a simple sign, and it appears to meet the requirements. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />
