Absent: None. <br />Case 42: Public Hearing — Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed Sign Size <br />Restrictions at 7545 Veterans Dr. NW (formerly Civic Center Drive); Case of <br />PSD, LLC <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:52 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Senior Planner Gladhill presented the Staff Report. <br />Citizen Input <br />Commission Brauer stated this is different from previous requests to exceed sign size as it is <br />imperative that the people using this type of facility are able to find it and so it is important for <br />the sign to be seen from as far away as possible. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated he concurred as the clientele will be regionally based as opposed to <br />locally based. <br />Matt Kuker, PSD, LLC stated that their number one concern also was for the veterans to be able <br />to see and find the facility. He continued that Sandman Signs does all their signs and does very <br />nice work. The reverse hallowed light is more expensive, but will look nice on this building. <br />Commissioner Field questioned how the applicant came up with the logo size. <br />Mr. Kuker stated that it is the sign code that the VA internally adopted. <br />Commissioner Field stated this deviates significantly from what has been approved in the past <br />and the Commission needs to provide a factual basis to justify such an expansion. He continued <br />that he agrees with what was suggested before regarding the clientele, the patients need to <br />visually spot it, also the VA has recommendations for their logo with regard to spacing and <br />lettering size. <br />Motion by Commissioner Dunaway, seconded by Commissioner Field, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Planning Commission/ September 8, 2011 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
