lot split� however, etaff Would recommend� in connection With the lot

expense involved with driveWays that aren'L-surfaced because they increase
street maintenance, aeWer cleaning, and decrease safety on Lhe traveled
atreet.
Councilman Schneider atated he recognizes there is a tinancial hardship
lavolved with this request.
Mrs. Morley atated there is no way any of the sand or debris from their
driveway goes onto Osborne road and, ia fact� �ust the opposite occurs
because their lot is loxer than the atreet.
Hr. Qureshi suggested possibly they could provide this paving at the time
Osborne Road is improved.

Nr. Flora� Public iiorks Direetor, stated the current sign ordinance limits
free standing aigns to 80 aquare feet. He explained the building on the
south portion of Target has been reated Lo Horthxest FaDrics and because
of the distance they are located from the street, they are requesting to
puL their sign underneath the Target sign.
Nr. Flora stated in 1967, the City issued a sign permit to allow Target to
construct a 310 square foot aign� hoWever� vben the sign was redone, the
aquare footage t+as reduced to 1�1�. Hr. Flora stated the varianee

Hr. F�ora, Public Works Director, stated free standing aigns are limited
to SO square feet under the sign ordinance. He explained the request from
Burger Ring is to add the addition oP a reader board to advertise their
sales.
Mr. Flora stated in 1969� the City approved a 159 square f oot aign,
hoWever, it �as recently brought to their attention the sign was increased
to 191 square feet, xith the addition of the reader board. He stated
Burger Ring Was advised to come in and request a varianee for this sign.
Mr. Flora stated the Appeals Commission felt there was a prolifer ation of
signs in this area and recommended, through the Planning Commission�
denial of this variance"to �hich the Planning Commission c;oncurred.
Mr. Ranek, representing Burger Ring, stated the 15g square foot Burger
King sign had an additional 2 x 12 foot "drive through" sign underneath
it. He stated they removed the "drive through" sign and in its place, put
up a 32 square foot reader poard.
He stated, When the corporation decided the reader board Was necessary,
they instrueted the sign company to get the necessary permits before they
put it up and, apparently, these permits xere never taken out.
Mr. Ranek stated, basically, they are requesting a 5x increase in the
square footage and what t�as presented to the Appeals Commission was a
variance from 159 square feet to 1g1 square feet, but what they now have
is 167 square feet.
Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned tbe figure of 191 square Peet. Mr.
Flora stated the sign permit a1loWed a logo ("Burger Ring" aign) and af ter
the logo �+as installed, a"drive through" sign of 2� square feet Was put
up, hoWever, the City looked a this "drive through" sign as a directional
sign, and did not require a permit. He stated this directional sign of 24
square feet Was replaced xith the reader board sign of 32 square feet,
making a total of 191 square feet (159 square feet for the logo aign and
32 square feet for the reader board).

MOTION CARRIED UNANIINOUSLY.
1. LOT SPLIT RE UEST: L.S. #82-07 BY DENNIS AND CHRISTINE MORLEY: Split off
t e South 118 feet of Lot 21, Bloc 2, Spring Lake Par La esi e(1524 Osborne
Rdad) to make a new buildin site, 76� Brigadoon N.E. (which includes a 25'
street and uti 1 i ty easerr�nt�. �
Mr. Deblon stated the property in question is located between Brigadoon Place
and Osborne Road to the east of Arthur St. The property is a rather deep lot with
an existing house located towards the center of the l.ot. the lot having a double
frontage;consequently the potential for double assessments. He felt this was the
impetus for the lot split.
Mr.Deblon stated the land proposed to be split off ineets all the zoning require-
ments for a new buildable site as sketched. He wanted to emphas3ze that the sub-
division ordinance at this point in time calls only for a sketch. The reason for
this is because the hearing process may bring about changes, and it would be very
expensive for the applicant to have the property ��esurveyed. ihere is no existing
survey at ti�is point in time.
Mr. Deblon stated that one of the concerns expressed by Staff was that the exist-
ing property does have an existing non-conforming use of an unimproved driveway.
The Zoning Code calls for a hard surfaced driveway. At this time, the City would
like to bring that driveway up to code.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 8, 1982 PAGE 2
Ms. Gabel stated the existing driveway was approx. 100 ft. long. It would be an
enornrous expense to resurface that driveway.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he did look at this property. He stated this is quite a
nice neighborhood, and he felt just having a new house on that empty lot would be
more of a service to the City, without also requiring the owners to put in a hard
surface driveway.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with the concept and could understand Staff's point of
view in trying to take these kinds of opportunities to bring things up to code,
but he felt it was an unreasonable request in this case beca�se of the length of
the driveway.
