'VP~~142 , _ -?- August 12, 1~?5 Theexistingbillboard meets the height limitation but at approximately .672square feet, is well in excess of the area limitation. ~n summary, the. existing building ,signing and existing billboard are not in conformance with the present ordinance. The proposed billboard would conform to the existing ordinance by itself provided that the temporary 4' x 8' sign were not added: Section 1~-230 (c) of the ordinance states that no sign permits may be,,issued'to properties with non-conforming signing except by means of the variance. Planningr Commission Consideration (July 15, 1A75): The Building and Planning Coordinator reviewed the background discussion. He showed photos of-the existing signs on the property.. Mr„ Lee Kuluvar of .Cricket Inn was present to answer questions regarding the request. Mr. Kuluvar reviewed the history of the request and noted that the property owner, Mr. Griffis, will require the existing billboard sign to be brought into conformity with the City ordinance within one year and is willing to repaint the building and-paint out the signs on the building within a five year period. Chairman Parham asked why the one year figure was chosen for the billboard. Mr. Kuluvar stated that. he did not know specifically and would suppose that a lesser time such as six months would be possible. Chairman Parham stated that she sees a_special privilege in allo~~i ..additional income producing signs in addition to the ones o~~ the property to be erected, She stated that she would want to see the billboard sign removed sooner than one year.. She also noted that the applicant hadn't spoken to the points of partical difficulty or unnecessary hardship in complying with the ordinance. Fredrickson suggested that three months would be a more appropriai:= period within which to bring the existing billboard into compliance. Mr. Kuluvar stated that the time allowed for removal of the non-conforming ,building signs was of importance, and that it would b~ unreasonable to have. to repaint the whore building within a short period of time.
