Recommendation Matson moved, Johnson seconded that the Commission recommend approval of Robert Farinacci's application for division of lot at 1892 Gluek Lane, with the condition that the staff study the drainage in the area to determine if any easement is required. Roll Call, Ayes: Matson, Moeller, Berry, DeBenedet, Dressler, Johnson and Wiski. Nays: None. Planning File 1581 - Sperry Corporation application for variance to directional sign size at 2276 Highcrest. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the Sperry Corporation has been at this location since the early 1960's. He stated the City, in 1972, had approved a variance to permit the installation of a number of directional signs. The company is now changing its name from Sperry Univac to Sperry, and they propose to install a new uniform sign system. The Sperry plant has a great number of entrances, and there is a definite problem of finding the correct entrance. The variance requested would permit a number of directional signs which would be placed throughout the property. Jack Grundtner, representing Sperry, indicated there are over 10,000 visitors a year to the Sperry plant. He said it is a problem for people to find the entrance they need to use. The proposed signing program is part of a national corporate program, and the size of the sign is part of a corporate standard. Sperry uses approximately 1 and 1/2 million square feet of building in the area. Discussion Mr. Honchell indicated there may be a need to have some signs higher if the sight lines at an intersection are a traffic safety problem.
