A request had been made for two signs - 80 sq. ft, each - one on each side of the building. The City Manager, in his report dated July 14, submitted as a possible solution that the signs be approved in approximately the same locations as proposed but be limited to a size no larger than that permitted on the front of the building and that the signs not be illuminated after 10 p.m. Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and Edwin Finkle, I representing the subject company, stated in part that adverse business setbacks were being experienced due to the lack of location, exposure to the public, He explored in detail the request which had been considered by the Commission, i,e., for permission to install two signs reading, "Pacific Savings". Projecturals, indicating the signs ~ould be 80 ~q. ft. each, were reviewed. He then presented a petitiQn in favor pf the signs containing 18 signatures of property owners adjacent to the building in question, No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried unanimously. With the exception of Councilman Forman, it was the consensus of the City Council that there appeared to be some differences in the evidence presented by Mr. Finkle from that presented before the Planning Commission ,and therefore consistent with its policy the matter should properly be referred back to the Commission. Mr, Forman was of the opinion that inasmuch as Council has heard from those who would be mostly concerned with the possible glare from the illumi- 'nated signs that it would be a waste of time to return the matter to the Commission; that ,the Commission would probably concur with the Council with the suggested changes and felt that it is something the Council could pass upon, Upon advice from the Planning Director that the matter could go before the Commission on Tuesday July 25 it was MOVEP by Councilman Arth, seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on the following roll call vote that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission' and if a solution can be agreed upon between the Commission and the, applicants it need not be returned to the City Council but be resolved then and there.
