Since ti~e applicant applied for two signs, each approximately 40 square feet, it is necessary for him to decide which sign he would like to apply for (the identification sign on the building or the pylon sign). Also, there is the problem of providing sign area for the other potential tenants. Mr. Ted Davis, representing the applicant, advised there is a stipulation in the lease stating the owner of the property will not allo~.z any other tenants advertising on the pylon sign; therefore, requested approval of the pylon sign and further requested some. consideration for some advertising for the front of the store. ~e acting Secretary explained thaf 'this type of sign is not mentioned in the Ordiance, specifically, but that this type of sign has been pemitted previously depending on the lineal frontage as for example, The Big Tree Shopping Center. Commissioner McFall stated that he was a member of the Design Review Com- mittee at the time the Big Tree sign Was granted and then explained it was agreed at that time that this x.zas a special situation with the big Payless sign right across the street and a special dispensation was granted but it was understood at the time that it was not to set a presedent for other areas.

PAUL I.YASSON VINEYARDS - Saratoi~a Avenue - Request for Directional Signs Conm~issioner Smith reported that 1) the Design Review Com~nittee met to review these signs 2) it was decided to obtain a policy opinion of the ~ a rkwa ~ entire Conm~ission relative to signs to be located on ~he I y or median strip 3) these signs could possibly be construed as service signs and 4) . people driving in the wrong lane for proper turn cannot see the existing signs until it is too late to change lanes safely. ~e Acti~ Secretary briefly explained the signs shown on the exhibits sub- mitted. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Co~ission that signs in the median strip were not desired except in '[he case of public service signs.

P~<ING DISI~IlCT N0. 1 - Review of Proposed Plans - Continued from 14 August 1967 Con~missioner Smith inquired if in matteen:such as this (where the City Council has granted approval) should it be reviewed by the Commission and corments offered to the City Council or should t.'~ty sponsored projects be dealt with just the same as any other?

Co~issioner Johnson questioned whether the wora "improve'' should be changed to co par in Paragraph 2. .' .line 4. .of the Staff Report of 28 August 1967 relative to the Parking Assessment District.. Chairman Norton advised' that 1) due to insufficient information and since the City Council has already approved the plan, the Planning Conmission would not rake a recomendation at this time and 2) if a recomendation from the Planning Commission is required, it could be realized after a request from the City Council.

Chairman Norton 1) stated that the abandomn~ent Section 15.7 does apply to this situation and since it has not been used for ninety days, it can- not again be used for the same business (Saddle Shop) and 2) directed the Plan~ing Director to discuss this with .the Building Inspector to see what action could be taken to have the building removed.
