January 19, 1977 TO: Thomas F. Lewcock, City Manager FROM: James F. Winkels, City Planner RE: SP -75, Clark Pharmacy On November 9, 1976, the City Council took the following action in regard to the above noted application: "Motion by Hardt, seconded by Fisher, to direct Administration to prepare a resolution in accordance with the Planning Commission recommendations; to place a condition in the resolution that the canopy be built up within 5 years or when the Brighton Cleaners sign is changed, whichever is first; and further, that drawings of the sign plan be attached to the resolution and be made a part of the resolution. 5 ayes - 0 nayes - carried" A copy of the Planning Commission Recommendation is attached. A drawing has been submitted by the applicant showing the canopy built up. (See attached) The applicant has indicated that the sloped, mansard canopy would create an enclosed balcony type area. Signs would be inset on the canopy and are shown to be of the same size (4' x 161) as the existing Clark Pharmacy sign. Also attached is a resolution which incorporates the Planning Commission recommendations and the Council's direction. The following are comments and items of consideration regarding the applicant's drawing, sign plan and attached resolution: 1. The applicants drawing indicates that the future canopy would obscure the lower part of the second story windows. There is nothing in the Building Code that would prohibit the construction of this form of canopy. The Council should consider whether it was their intent that the canopy be constructed in this manner. If this form of canopy is to be permitted, we would suggest that adequate space (perhaps 36") be left between the window and rear of canopy to permit egress in case of an emergency.
