<br />
<br />a Micheal Suiiu,,1520 S.E. 37th, Portland, objected to regulations allowing larger
<br />~ signs as a matter of principle. Mayor Anderson explained that the proposed
<br />regulations merely defined the zoning districts. Councilwoman Campbell added
<br />that the Council agreed with the philosophy "bigger does not necessarily mean
<br />better"; by designating these zones the Council was saying that signs would be
<br />smaller.

<br />Councilman WiTliams noted his intent to abstain from discussion or voting. No
<br />ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by other Council members.
<br />Copies of Planning." Commission staff notes and minutes of July 9, 1974 were
<br />previously distributed to Council members.
<br />
<br />Jim Saul, Planner, explained that when the Sign Code was adopted, properties
<br />abutting Coburg Road were designated as Highway Oriented Sign District. However,
<br />. this particular property (A&W) was left as Residenhail The Commission rejected
<br />the applicant's request for change to Highway Oriented on the basis that direct
<br />access to Coburg Road was not available; there was access only to Club. Road on which
<br />\speed was limited to 30 mph (a criteria for Highway Orignted = more than 30 mph).
<br />'He read Code provisions for Outlying Commercial and said the subj ect property
<br />appeared more appropriate to that description than if designated Highway Oriented.
<br />
<br />(1569) Public hearing was opened.
<br />
<br />Bill Reynolds, 183 Ferndale Drive, said he was representing the applicant, expressing
<br />interest and concern for approval of the sign district boundary change.
<br />
<br />Michael SunU, 1520 S'" E. 37th, Portland, said that street signs were completely
<br />-~ unnecessary, they went against nature. He asked how big the proposed signs would
<br />be and whether they would be l~ghted. Kathy Saberhagen, 1010 High Street, commented
<br />about the difficulty in responding to this situation without knqwing what a sign
<br />district zone was. She could see no reason to change existing conditions and2 _
<br />questioned the reasons for change. Assistant Manager explained that sign district
<br />classifications were spelled out in the Code and 'would be made available upon
<br />request.
