MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 27, 1986 <br />#1000 /1009 WEAR CONTINUED <br />Mr. Wear stated that he did not feel he could ask the <br />tenants to change their building signage at this point <br />noting that the only tenant involved with this type of <br />signage is the Little Oak store. Wear felt this request <br />would be feasible at the end of their lease in three <br />years on May 31, 1989. <br />Councilmember Adams stated that he felt promotions <br />should not be allowed on the signs. The building should <br />not be used as a billboard in promoting product, only <br />advertisment of business. He stated that he has no <br />problem with the proposed 2 pylons with 6 plaques on <br />each, subject to conformance with other tenants signage <br />(elimination of all but tenant identifications) in 3 <br />years. <br />Councilmember Frahm suggested that Mr. Wear be allowed <br />the 12 plaques in which to use any way they want because <br />some tenants may not want or need a plaque. <br />Mr. Roulette noted that if the tenants were required to <br />remove the signage (gas, oil, etc.) from the building, <br />the imprint of the sign would be left looking worse than <br />left as is. He noted that all 12 tenants may not want <br />street advertising. <br />Councilmember Callahan stated that he felt the <br />time /temperature portion of the proposed sign was <br />unnecessary in that area. <br />Mr. Roulette noted that the time /temperature was mainly <br />an attention getter. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Adams, seconded by Mayor <br />Butler, to conceptually grant a variance to the Limited <br />Development Ordinance moratorium and to direct staff to <br />prepare the appropriate resolution for Council action at <br />their next meeting. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />It was moved by Mayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember <br />Frahm, to conceptually approve the application as <br />amended and to direct staff to prepare the appropriate <br />resolution for Council action at their next meeting, <br />this conceptual approval is subject to the following: <br />1. Both pylon signs conforming to identical size and <br />construction within 6 months. <br />2. Tenants to conform to user identification only on <br />building at the end of the current lease (no <br />promitional advertising). <br />3. Limit one user per 2 plaques. <br />Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />4 <br />
