6 Commissioner McQuillan concurred. He stated without having Mark Beisswenger in attendance the Commission may want to table action on this item to the May meeting. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported the Commission was being asked to make a recommendation to the City Council, and noted the City Council would make the final determination on this SUP. Commissioner Enanaa supported 20% to 30% of the digital sign being used for the Beisswenger’s name. He believed it made more sense to use this sign for naming purposes than to attach a sign to the top. Commissioner Nelson agreed stating he did not support adding more signage to the top of the digital sign, because this would make the sign that much larger. Joan Barnes, Applewood co-op resident, stated she was in attendance because she was concerned with the light that would shine from this sign. She thanked the Commission for discussing their concerns regarding the sign and she recommended the Beisswenger’s name be included within the digital sign. Commissioner Nelson questioned what the deadline was for this application. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola reported the City had until May 10 to approve or deny this request. He reported if this item were tabled, staff would have to go through the process of requesting an extension. He suggested the Commission take action on staff’s recommendation and that this information be presented to the applicant and then he could either move forward with the project or not. He stated if the applicant did not like staff’s recommendation they could reapply for an SUP. Motion by Commissioner McQuillan, seconded by Commissioner Enanaa to close the Public Hearing. Approved 5-0. Chair Biedenfeld questioned what the proper percentage was for the Beisswenger’s name on the digital sign. Commissioner Frischman explained the biggest point of concern was having the property properly named for the business. She supported the 20% to 30% range be included in the recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Enanaa agreed with this recommendation. Commissioner Nelson supported 20% to 30% of the digital sign being used for naming of the business. Commissioner McQuillan agreed stating this would provide for sound naming of the business.
