6 Member Harms questioned why the pylon sign needed to be setback 15 feet, how many parking stalls are needed for the business and what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Alkali responded that there is no room on the site to place the sign and still meet a city ordinance requirement because of the location of the building. Mr. Alkali stated that approximately 10 parking stalls would be needed and that the hours of operation are 8: 00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. weekdays; from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays with no Sunday hours. An unidentified resident of the adjacent Bonaventure Condominium stated that the proposal could deteriorate the neighborhood because of the increase of the traffic at the intersection of Lexington and D, storage of cars and semis in the parking lot as well as inadequate driveways. Chairman Wietecki closed the public hearing. Motion: Chairman Wietecki moved, and Member Sandstrom seconded, to continue consideration of this item until the August 10th meeting to allow further investigation in the sign and parking setback issue. Member Roberts indicated that he felt the setback variance was okay, but that the variance for the sign was not. Roll Call: Ayes: Rengel, Thomas, Harms, Roberts, Sandstrom, Wietecki. Nays: None. Abstained: Wall. Chairman Wietecki announced that Member Wall had abstained because of a potential conflict of interest. 6.
