. . . Planning Commission Minutes June 27, 2000 Page 13 Joel Zwak, representing Snyders, explained that Snyders was not aware there was a limitation on signs. After finding out this information, they discovered they would not be able to have the signage they felt they needed for visibility. Chair Mesich asked if was imperative they have three 1-hour photo signs. Mr. Zwak felt that the 1-hour photo was a very important marketing tool for the success of their store. Dave Under, also representing Snyders, stated that he felt that the additional signage would help to break up the elevation of the building facing Burger King. Commissioners Pederson and Baker expressed their support for an ordinance amendment to base the maximum sign age allowed on a percentage of the square footage of the front elevation. There being no further comments from the public, Chair Mesich closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER KUESTER MOVED APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY SNYDER DRUG STORES FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, CASE NO. CU 00-22. COMMISSIONER BAKER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6.1. Commissioner Peterson opposed. 5.9. Reauest bv Gold Nugget DeveloDment Inc. for Land Use Plan Amendment to Urban Service District MaD, Public Hearing - Case No. LU 00-5 Staff report by Michele McPherson. Ms. McPherson explained that the Urban Service District was amended in 1997 to include the area south of County Road 12, east to Fillmore and south to 175th Avenue. The amended area is scheduled not to receive utilities and assessments until 2007. Gold Nugget Development has requested amending the Urban Service District map to allow services to be provided to property located at 181 st Avenue and Fillmore Street prior to 2007, for residential development. The developer would absorb the financial costs of improvements and the assessments ($6,000 per acre). Utilities to serve this area will be provided from Trott Brook Farms, as well as property to the north and east of Trott Brook. Ms. McPherson noted that the School District is negotiating the purchase of property east of Trott Brook Farms and north of County Road 12 for an elementary school. Staff recommended approval of the request based on the information provided in the staff report. Chair Mesich opened the public hearing. Horace Grazer, representing the applicant, stated that they will likely propose a residential PUD. He felt that their request is a logical extension of city services. He noted that the cost of the project will be borne by the developer and should not involve the other residents in the area. Pat HOlzern, owner of the subject property, stated that he also felt the extension was logical. He indicated that he would like to sell his property now, before the assessments come.
