Public Hearing Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:10 p.m. Presentation Senior Planner McGuire Brigl presented the staff report stating that City staff recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit to the Preserve at Northfork to exceed signage standards for an area identification sign on the subject property. Commissioner VanScoy commented that he was surprised to see that the actual monument structure is included in the size of the signage. He did not recall seeing that included in the calculation in the past. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that she was unsure if a similar situation has been reviewed in the past, but this was the method staff was directed to use to calculate the size. She stated that this is unique in that the sign and monument portions are very separate where typically there is not that separation. Chairperson Bauer commented that he was thinking that the monument structure acted similar to a signpost and was also confused as to why that was included in the calculation. He stated that he likes the appearance of this type of sign and would encourage more of this style of sign and therefore commented that perhaps the regulation should be reviewed in the future. Commissioner Anderson commented that he agrees that the sign calculation should be reviewed in the future to determine what may or may not be considered as a signpost. He commented that he does like the appearance of this sign. Citizen Input No comments. Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Dunaway, to close the public hearing.
