Page 4 . Planning Commission Minutes March 25, 1986 Mr. Minor noted that because the House of Rental was opening for business April 1, and because of a misunderstanding between Mr. Rohlf and myself, there was not time for a variance to allow House of Rental signage before they opened for business. The Building and Zoning Administrator indicated there was a misunderstanding between Mr. Minor and myself. I indicated that if his total amount of signage went over the amount permitted by a few square feet, the code was still met and a variance would not be required. Mr. Minor's request came in 94 square feet over the total amount allowed. Discussion was carried on regarding the signage and Commissioner Fuchs was not in favor in exceeding the allowable frontage. Chairman Tralle indicated that in fairness of the ordinance, he was oppossed to going over the allowable amount. Commissioner Merrick felt that we would be setting a precident for people coming in late and would be opening up a can of worms if we grant this variance. Mr. Minor felt this was being unfair and needed this sign as their business depended on this. It was the concensus of the Planning Commission because of the misunderstanding they felt they would allow Mr. Minor 34 square feet more signage than would normally be permitted. . COMMISSIONER FUCHS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL '1'0 APPROVl A VARIANCE OF 20 SQUARE FEET, THIS WOULD INCLUDE 290 SQUARE FEET FREE- STANDING SIGNS ON POST IN FRONT OF BUILDING AND TWO 60 SQUARE FEET SIGNS ON THE BUILDING ITSELF. COMMISSIONER WARNER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 7-0. 10.

Also that the addition would stay in the same line as the existing building. Chairman Tralle opened the public hearing. No one appeared for or in opposition of the request. Chairman Tralle closed the public hearing. The Building granted, the closest to construction and Zoning Administrator indicated that if a variance is building code would require that the side of the addition 4th Street be constructed of a one-hour fire resistive and no openings would be permitted in the wall. .
