Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. APPROVAL OF A REQUEST FOR A SIGN VARIANCE IN THE FOUNTAIN SHOPPES RETAIL CENTER FOR CENTEGRA HEALTH SYSTEM AT 333 NORTH FRONT STREET AND STEFFAN'S JEWELERS. LOCATED AT 325 NORTH FRONT STREET City Administrator Morefield reiterated to Council that Suzanne Cannon, owner of Steffan's Jewelers and the Fountain Shoppes on Front Street received approval for variances from the Sign Ordinance to allow two additional wall signs, each consisting of 56.14 square feet, to allow up to four face changes annually and a variance to allow an additional 11.14 square feet of wall signage for 333 North Front Street. The signs are permanently affixed to the two center pillars at the Fountain Shoppes. The sign adjacent to Steffan's Jewelers, 325 Front Street, is utilized to advertise jewelry and product sold within the store. The second proposed wall sign would be affixed to the pillar adjacent to the currently vacant unit north of Steffan's Jewelers, 333 Front Street. Centegra is moving into the space adjacent to the north pillar and will utilize the pillar sign for advertisement, which was anticipated when the variances were granted in November 2013. However, Centegra would like to erect an additional wall sign on the front soffit directly above their tenant space. Therefore, a variance for an additional wall sign is required, as well as a variance to allow 32.5 additional square feet of wall signage for 333 Front Street. The proposed Centegra wall sign is 32.5 square feet. It has been determined that following the issuance of the permit for the 56.14 square foot aluminum signs in November 2013, there was miscommunication regarding the actual sign dimensions, 94" x 86", and the dimensions of the rectangular impression on each of the pillars, 108" x 92.5". The sign company produced multiple aluminum signs for Steffan's Jewelers/Fountain Shoppes, each equivalent to 69.37 square feet (108" x 92.5"). The sign currently affixed to the pillar above Steffan's Jewelers is 69.37 square feet, and to maintain a consistent symmetrical look, the Centegra sign should be the same size. The error was not Regular Meeting Page 5 August 4, 2014 Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried.
