<br />requesting a variance which would allow t',;o free-staJJdin, signs '-0 be

<br />footage of the free-staJJding sign to be increased from 123 square feet

<br />
<br />Rita Johnson, Planning Commission Representative, stated that the

<br />free-staJJding sign not to exceed 15 .feet -'in height, ,with the, condi tion
<br />that the wall signage be 11mi ted to a' total' of 128' square feet a:nd that
<br />none of the wall signage be put on the east side of the building. , Ri ta
<br />Johnson explained that the Planning, Commi ssion ,recommended approval of
<br />the 256 square feet of a free-standing sign because of the fact that
<br />the location of the trees on the east side of the building make it
<br />difficult for the applicant to utilize the wall'signage allowed without
<br />removing the trees and further that a free-standing sign could be
<br />placed within a small clearing in the trees to gain visibility from
<br />Highway 169,
