Commissioner Van Scoy asked the applicant is he was amenable to placing the sign on the west <br />side of the driveway. <br />Dan Hebert replied that normally a directional sign is placed before an entrance so that drivers <br />have time to react. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill suggested having staff prepare a mock -up of a sign to see what it will <br />look like and added he felt this was very much a doable project. <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Brauer, to close the public hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Brauer, Cleveland, Hunt, <br />Rogers, and Van Scoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Levine. <br />The public hearing closed at 8:06 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Nixt called the regular meeting of the Planning Commission back to order at 8:06 <br />p.m. <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he felt the request is completely tied to placement of the sign and <br />expressed a willingness to grant an overage if that overage is not going to create a hazard. He <br />stated he is conflicted because when he looks at the site and the placement of the signage, it is <br />not going to be the first vehicle cued at the stop sign that causes a concern, rather, it is going to <br />be the vehicles behind the first car that could potentially violate the law by not properly stopping <br />and egressing onto Highway 10. He added he is a little bit reluctant to impose that constraint <br />upon the applicant, but human nature is human nature. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated one option would be to require the applicant to reduce the <br />square footage of the sign but make it longer. <br />Commissioner Rogers stated he was in favor of having a short sign with an arrow. <br />Mark McKline of A -1 Custom Signs suggested preparing a mock -up of the sign and allowing <br />him to work with staff to make a determination. He stated they are most interested in having the <br />sign be visible to drivers and agreed it is a tricky intersection. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy asked if the Findings of Fact state the size of the signs. <br />Associate Planner Gladhill replied Finding of Fact No. 12 states the proposed square footage and <br />represents a fact in this case. <br />Planning Commission /October 2, 2008 <br />Page 10 of 15 <br />
