Berg responded that he could speak with <br />his partners. <br />Gaffron stated in staffs opinion the sign at 12’ or 12’ 8 ” is pushing the limit, especially for <br />an office use. <br />White suggested making the Orono Professional Center in smaller letters or putting on a <br />lower sign and then the tenant names could be larger. <br />Sansevere stated the sign exceeded and interrupted the roofline and it would be more <br />visually pleasing if one-foot lower. <br />Murphy stated the Council has gone a long way on previous issues related to this project. <br />Applicant Berg also stated they went a long way. <br />Murphy moved and Mayor Peterson moved to deny the application based on staffs <br />recommendation that the sign not exceed the 12* 8** height approved with the building <br />permit.
