<br />Councilmember Stewart agreed with Councilmember Buscher and shared that she also believes <br />that the Planning Commission did its due diligence and made the correct decision. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buscher noted that the Council is not considering whether or not they personally <br />agree with the decision made by the Planning Commission; they are considering whether or not <br />the Planning Commission made the right decision based on variance requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked about the letter received during the Planning Commission meeting, with <br />concerns that this sign would block an existing sign from view. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson noted that the sign that the property owner was concerned about will be <br />completely visible with this new sign. <br /> <br />Ms. Rogers shared that these two signs will be set back and staggered so there will be no effect on <br />the view of the other. <br /> <br />Paul Hilt, iDigital, shared that when they started this process in 2022, they were told that no <br />billboards would be allowed.
