2. Overview of Items on Regular Agenda.
Mayor Muir noted, in his opinion, on Item No. 6, that we have done this type of sign for
the school district before, that this is a fairly standard request. He advised that they
may want to discuss the other Sign request, Item No. 7. Alina Ciocan, Director of
Community and Economic summarized noting they applied for a banner sign permit and
a traditional sign and that was approved. They submitted a second application for a
window sign. In the City Ordinance, it says that if 25 percent of the transparent space is
occupied by the sign, that the sign is prohibited. What the applicant is proposing is 75
percent coverage. The applicant notified her today that the color scheme has not
changed and it is going to be red. She noted that the applicant would not be present
tonight. There was discussion regarding the window being completely covered. It was
noted they wanted to do it for privacy. Staff advised they could use window treatments
such as blinds, curtains, etc. for privacy purposes and they opted to continue with this
application request. Councilman Allison arrived 6:03 pm.
