MINUTES
The minutes of the September 21st, 2015 meeting were approved, after having been previously distributed to each member. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – PUBLIC INTEREST SIGN/SIGNAGE – COMMERCIAL – BARRY WEHMILLER – 8020 FORSTYH BOULEVARD
Steve Behrens, sign contractor, was in attendance at the meeting.
2 Susan Istenes explained that an existing 10.6-square-foot, double-sided, time and temperature sign is located on the Brentwood Boulevard facade integrated with a 5.4-square foot, double sided, perpendicular wall sign for Barry-Wehmiller. The signs project +/- 4 feet beyond the face of the building. The applicant proposes to remove and replace the existing time and temperature sign with new 6-square-foot, double-sided sign and City ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for the public interest sign (no record of a CUP can be found for the existing sign).
Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if there were any questions or comments; noting that the request seems straightforward.
Hearing none, Craig Owens made a motion to recommend approval of the CUP to the Board of Aldermen. The motion was seconded by Ron Reim and unanimously approved by the Board.
The architectural review aspects of the proposal were now up for consideration.
Susan Istenes explained that the proposed public interest sign will be smaller than the existing and will display the same information. Staff does not anticipate negative impacts associated with the sign as it will be a continuation of an existing condition. The existing perpendicular sign is an existing non-conforming sign, and because it is integrated with the public interest sign being replaced, it must be approved through a modification to the Sign Ordinance. Modifications should only be granted due to unusual conditions of the building or site. The existing perpendicular and public interest signs are integrated and function as one sign. The signs have been in place for many years and are compatible in terms of design and materials with the building. Approval of the Sign Modification would allow a continuation of this existing condition.
Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if the materials will be the same as existing; the sign is simply smaller.
Mr. Behrens replied “yes”.
Ron Reim asked if the sign will function the same.
Mr. Behrens replied “yes”.
Being no further questions or comments and hearing none from the audience, Ron Reim made a motion to approve as submitted. The motion was seconded by Craig Owens and unanimously approved by the Board.

3 Susan Istenes explained that the proposed project consists of the construction of a 2.5-foot tall retaining wall along University Lane, a 3-foot black decorative aluminum fence on top of the retaining wall, a new rear patio, and a new rear driveway. The wall and fence will be placed within the required front yard setback along University Lane. The wall is Mosaic by Versa-lok, and the fence will be constructed of black aluminum. The wall will be built up to the sidewalk along University Lane, and runs 90 feet along University Lane. The applicant is proposing landscaping along the inside of the fence; however, the specific plant material is not noted on the plans. An existing rear patio will be replaced with a new stamped concrete patio, sitting walls, and grill enclosure wall. New French doors and stairs are also proposed. An existing asphalt driveway with access from the rear alley will be removed and replaced with a new stained and scored concrete driveway, which is not an approved material. The Architectural Review Guidelines require new driveways be constructed of exposed aggregate, brick pavers or stamped concrete. Maximum 4- foot tall stone veneer retaining walls are proposed along portions of the new driveway. A 15-square-foot trash enclosure is located adjacent to the driveway and alley, and will be screened by a 42-inch black decorative aluminum fence. Based on the number of bedrooms in the home, the Architectural Review Guidelines require a 40 square foot trash enclosure and that the trash enclosure not be visible from the street at any time. According to the applicant, the smaller trash enclosure will meet the homeowners’ needs. Staff’s recommendation is to approve with the following conditions, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit:
the street at any time.
