tion in that length of time. He didn't want to take anything to the voters that had been "rushed into." Mr. Haws had no qualms about asking for an extension 'of time if after 45 days more time was needed for proper consideration. However, he thought a limitation would "spur" the work on. He assured Mr. Keller that he would do a good job. e Vote was taken on the amendment for referral to the Joint Parks Committee rather than to staff with a 45-day limit on returning the recommendation to the Council. Motion carried unanimously. Vote was taken on the main motion for review for alternatives or reasons why alternatives should not be considered. Motion carried unanimously. A short recess was taken. B. Sign District Amendment - Coburg Plaza (Coburg between Cal Young and II-A-] Willakenzie (SDBC 75-1) Amending Ordinance 17288 (April 14, 1975) as recommended by the Planning Commis- sion on August 11, 1975. No ex parte contact or other reasons for conflict of interest were declared by Council members other than Councilman Williams noting his intent to abstain from voting in all sign matters. Jim Saul, planner, explained the minor amendment which would permit wall-mounted signs for individual businesses in the Coburg Plaza. He said that the original ordinance was not worded so as to accommodate that intent. Public hearing was opened. e Grant Lovegren, 3556 Black Oak Road, speaking for Earl Green, developer of Coburg Plaza, favored the amendment. He said the overall appearance of the center would not be affected. Also, that three establishments would not be allowed identity signs unless the amendment was adopted~ Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. Councilman Bradley asked if this was similar to a request from First National Bank for a sign at its Valley River Center branch. Mr. Saul answered that there was no similarity. The First National request was for a variance that would per- mit more than one sign. Assistant Manager added that the Bank's existing sign was not visible from the parking area and a variance was sought for limited ex- terior exposure as well as an additional sign. The amendment under consideration at this time, he said, was merely a modification of the existing ordinance. Council Bill No. 942 - Amending sign district designation for Coburg Plaza (...wall-mounted identification signs 9R for each...) was read by council bill number and title only, there being no council members present requesting that it be read in full. Mr. Keller moved second by Mrs. Bea1 to adopt findings supporting the sign dis- trict designation as set out in Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of August 11, 1975; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously, all council members present voting aye, . except Councilman Williams abstaining, and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. 10/13/75 - 6 ~ --. / 53~~
