Planning Commission Meeting November 2, 1983 -4- Planning File 1465 - American Information Systems request for variance to sign setback at 2000 County Road B-2. Presentation Mr. Blais indicated the applicant proposes to construct a sign extending to within 18 feet of the front yard property line. The ordinance requires a 30-foot setback. The proposed sign is 6 feet high, rather than 25 feet high as allowed by ordinance. The area of the signs is 18.5 square feet, rather than the 100 square feet allowed. The existing building is set back 30 feet from the front property line. There is a sidewalk running along the front of the building. The sign is proposed to be placed as close as practical to the sidewalk. Discussion Wiski asked the applicant why he is proposing to place the sign in front of the building. The applicant responded that if the sign was moved to the west to allow a 30-foot setback, it would be hidden by several large trees. David Drown indicated there is a bridge planned to cross I-35W just west of the subject property. There may be a need to obtain additional right-of-way on County Road B-2 for the bridge approach, depending on the final design of the bridge. Mr. Drown felt that both the Commission and the applicant should be aware that additional right-of-way may be required in the future. Since this is still uncertain, Mr. Drown did not recommend the Commission require dedication of additional right-of-way at this time. Recommendation Matson moved and Dressler seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of American Information Systems' request for variance to sign setback with the condition that the sign be constructed in accordance with plans dated 9/9/83. Roll Call, Ayes: Berry, !1oeller, Wiski, Dressler, Johnson, Matson, and Rukavina. Nays: None. Planning File 1446 - Yale Marshall request for preliminary plat at 2120 Cleveland. Presentation Mr. Blais indicated the applicant proposes to plat his two-acre parcel into 3 lots. Two of these lots will have approximately 13,000 square feet. The third lot will have an area of 66,000 square feet. The problem in attempting to plat the lot in a more orthodox manner is the location of the existing house, and the extreme depth on the northerly two-thirds of the parcel.
