City Planner, Ron McConnell, stated a special use permit for a two year per- iod could be issued in accordance with Section !303 of the zoning ordinance. This property, also, is located on a corner lot which would be undesirable in size for the location of a house. Mr. Jack Bisch, President, Perry Avenue Mall Merchants Association, approached the Council and stated at the present time there is no way to get people directed up Sheridan Road to the Mall. Mr. James Sullivan of the Planning Co~nmia2~nn approached the Council and stated that the Planning Commission hsd no objection to the sign as such, but rather the idea of op~ning up an area to allow this sign, would set a precedent relative to future requests. Mr. Clark explained that the specific issue before the Commission is not necessarily the piece of property spoken of, but the fae~ ~ha~ the ~resent zoning or,ins, nc, precludes signs beyond a four foot square in H-1 districts with the exception that a conditional use permit for not more than two years can be g~anbed in undeF~loped areas; and it is on this basis that th~ appeal is made. ~e proposod zoning Ordinance also precludes the same thing. gune 8, 1966--Con't, Mr. Schoneman made the distinction that the sign is not a b~oa~d sign as such, but rather a directional sign, which is something different than advertising. During the discussion, it was discovered that Mr. Schoneman hhd viewed the wrong piece of property for the location of the sign and felt the hearing should be continued until the next council meeting, before which time, He would view the proposed location for the sign.
