There being no one to speak, Chair <br />Johnson closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson understood the uniqueness of these five parcels and the desire to have <br />all existing signage legal conforming is appealing while adding an additional <br />freestanding sign. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson-Vito agreed and felt there was a need with a site this large to <br />have a sign for some type of identification, especially seeing the dual use viewpoint, <br />she approves allowing an additional sign along Gates Ave. NW. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Larson-Vito and seconded by Commissioner Thiel <br />to approve the variance request by The Church of St. Andrew for a variance to <br />allow four (4) freestanding and three (3) wall signs not to exceed 415 square <br />feet total for the following reasons: <br />1. The general purpose and intent of the ordinance is met. <br />2. The property has a land use of residential and the use is consistent <br /> with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />
