City Attorney Goodrich stated that it is the general feeling by staff, that even though the lot is 1.37 acres, it is intended to be a single residential lot. To place two units on the lot makes a significance difference in regards to performance standards pertaining to wells, etc., which seems inappropriate. Councilmember Anderson stated that she admired the Youngs for trying to look toward life cycle housing, but they cannot okay two septic systems on a 1.37 acre lot. Mr. Young stated that he understands that precedent has been set with other individuals. He does not think this would jeopardize anyone's land around them or anyone's lives. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to adopt Resolution #01-09-362 adopting Findings of Fact #0575, as presented by the City Attorney during the meeting, relating to Mr. and Mrs. Young's request for a conditional use permit to maintain two dwellings on one parcel.

Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to adopt Resolution #01-09-363 to deny Mr. and Mrs. Young's request for a conditional use permit to maintain two dwellings on one parcel based on the Findings of Fact #0575. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Kurak. Voting No: None. Case #8: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed Wall Sign Square Footage and Sign Height Restrictions; Case of Blue Line Collision Center Community Development Director Frolik stated that the City received an application from Blue Line Collision Center for a conditional use permit to exceed wall sign square footage and height restrictions for their building located at 6260 State Highway #10. In the commercial district, City Code restricts wall signs to a size equal to 15% of the building front and a height not to exceed the top of the building parapet. Blue Line Collision Center is allowed 93 square feet of wall signage per their 40' x 15.5' building front. The Applicant currently exceeds wall sign square footage restrictions by approximately 227 square feet and the property contains a legal non-conforming billboard sign. The Applicant is proposing 133.5 square feet of wall signage, which results in a 40.5 square foot overage. The sign is also proposing to exceed sign height restrictions by three feet. The increase in sign height would provide screening around mechanical equipment located on the roof of the building. Blue Line Collision Center is proposing to remove an existing legal non-conforming billboard sign located on the roof of the building and all existing wall signage. The Applicant would then like to install a sign in the form of an awning that would extend the length of the building front and wrap around one side of the City Council/September 25, 2001 Page 24 of 31
