Case #5: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Alpaca Estates 4th Addition; Case of Haakon Jarnes Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Haakon James is requesting preliminary plat approval of Alpaca Estates 4th Addition. The property is approximately 35 acres in size and is located at the southeast comer of the intersection of Highway gl0 and Llama Street. The subdivision proposes to plat 11 commercial lots and one outlot. All of the lots exceed the minimum area and dimension requirements for the B-3 Highway Business District. Development of the plat will include the construction of a westerly extension of Riverdale Drive and improvements to Llama Street, south of Highway glO. Park dedication consists of a combination of trail and cash. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and there were no verbal or written comments received. She noted that Mr. James was in the audience. Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to approve the preliminary plat for Alpaca Estates 4th Addition. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Beyer, Beahen, Peterson and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #6: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an Off-Site Advertising Sign; Case of Holm's Super Bowl, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik noted that Tim Holm and Wayne Bidwell are present and are requesting an off-site advertising sign on the Bill Dubats property at 6740 Highway gl0 NW. City Code restricts signs to identifying the business or service offered at the parcel on which the sign is located. Mr. Holm has stated he feels he is a unique situation being located one block off the highway and the lack of identification of the bowling alley on Highway gl0 has an adverse impact on his business. He has submitted an application for a conditional use permit for an off-site sign. Ms. Frolik observed that the previous owner of Super Bowl had a lawful non-conforming identification sign on the Dubats property and for various reasons, removed it knowing full well that under the new regulations it could not be replaced without obtaining a conditional use permit from the City. Mr. Holm feels the lack of identification on the highway has hurt the business and he would like to replace the 96 square foot sign in its previous location on the Dubats property. She pointed out that the Dubats property already has an 84 square foot lawful conforming sign on Highway gl0 and a 24-square foot lawful non-conforming sign on Riverdale Drive. Approval of Mr. Holm's request would result in three, free-standing signs on the parcel totaling 180 square feet of sign space - Code permits one at 100 square feet. There are numerous businesses that would like to be identified on Highway gl0 and staff feels that approval of Mr. Holm's request would set a precedent. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request. Their City Council/September 24, 1996 Page 7 of 13
