On June 8, 1999, the request and the Planning Commission's recommendations were presented to City Council. At that time, the applicant informed the Council that the Burger King franchise has .just released their new sign design. It is a 113 square foot circular sign. The applicant then stated that their request was being amended to the 113 square foot logo sign with 45 square foot reader board that would comply with the 25-foot height restriction. Ms. Frolik stated that Chairperson Leo Anderson was at the City Council meeting and at his request, the City Council sent the amended application back to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation. On July 6, 1999, the applicants presented the new Burger King logo and sign plan to the Planning Commission. The sign design has changed from square to round and the size choices are 64 square feet or 113 square feet. The sign is not proposed to exceed the 25 foot height restriction. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that it appeared that a lot of the other businesses complied with the 100 square foot requirement and thought that Burger King should do the same. Greg Klone, Dolphin Real Estate, stated that the smaller sign is approximately 60 square feet and he feels that they need a larger sign because of alt the clutter on Highway #10. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that maybe the Plarming Commission should review the ordinance and determine if 100 square feet is too small.
