Commissioner Offerman stated the proposed equipment rental center will be an improvement over the former lumber yard.He stated he didn't have any issues with the sign being allowed on the outlot since the applicant owns it. Mr. Harlicker stated the sign would have to comply with the C3 zoning requirements (the height of the sign would be based on the speed limit of the adjacent highway).He stated the sign could be 30 feet tall and 110 sq. ft. on each side if based on being adjacent to Highway 10. If based on an adjacent street(Railroad Drive) then the sign could be 20'tall and 64 sq. ft on each side. Commissioner Westgaard stated he concurred with Commissioner Offerman but would like to work with the applicant on the sign dimensions and appearance.He questioned if the applicant could pull a trailer sign onto the outlot. Mr. Harlicker stated the applicant would be allowed to place a trailer sign in for 90 days each year according to the Temporary Sign ordinance. • Chair Anderson stated the Commission needs to consider the interpretation of the definitions in the zoning ordinance. He stated he didn't think the Commission should be able to consider the sign dimensions/appearance because if allowed it would have to follow the C3 zoning requirements.He stated he supports staff's interpretation of the ordinance that the sign does not qualify as an allowable use on the outlot.
