The meeting was then opened to the public for comment. Gretchen Artig-Swomley <br />agreed the unique shape of the building warranted a variance. Gloria Tessier agreed that <br />this was a good business to have in Gem Lake. <br />Discussion then returned to the Planning Commission. Mr. Wippich and Mrs, Robins <br />agreed that the shape of the building was a hardship and that a second sign was necessary <br />for Peoples to maximize its business potential. <br />Mr. Wippich then made a motion to approve the variance so long as the proposed sign <br />was within its allowable size limit and was consistent with the current existing sign. Mrs. <br />Robins seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-0. Mr. Lindner then instructed Mr. <br />Ostebo to plan on attending the February 28 City Council meeting for final approval. He <br />recommended Mr. Ostebo bring with him handouts and be prepared to explain his <br />request, but that the Planning Commission would send forth a recommendation for <br />approval. <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:10PM. Our next scheduled <br />meeting is March 1, 2005. <br />
