Councilman Sackes referred to Condition No. 1 of t�hePPlannin resolution which deals with exhibits A through D modif ied by g Department; he felt uncomfortable voting on the documents without seeing them and asked whether the applicant agreed with the condition. Bill McGrann, counsel for the applicant, referred to the conditions of the resolurion. He noted that in working with staff since October, 1977, most of the questions had been resolved. With respect to Condiiton ?�o. 8, truck sale area, he e�cplained rnat due to the Iimited amount of parking spaces, it �oas hoped that a certain amount of flexibility could be maintained• With respect to Condirion No. 4, si�ns, i�ir. t4cGrann stated there ��as disabreement with staff on the definition of free-standing sign. He stated the applicant is requesting three 5-foot 4-inch directional signs near the curb which indicate access to the body shop and sales area. He suggested the 30-inch signs recommended by staff could cause problems in terms of snowplowing. He added that three additional 5-foot 4-inch signs located in the shrubbery are requested which would direct customers to the leasing and rent-a-car area. He said these signs would only be visible�from West 35 Street. He noted the current Ordinance limits the height of the brand-name sign to 25 f eet measured from the ground level of the nearest street. He said the applicant wishes to locate this sign facing Highway 100 toward the front of the property, and due to the topography of the area, a 25-foot sign would have limited visibility to vehicles traveling Highway 100; he asked that the Council consider the nearest ground level on Highway lOQ as the nearest street and allow a sign height of 40 f eet. Mr. McGrann stated the developer would plant certain landscaping to the specifications of the City on the West 36 Street slope; he referred to the easement the City currently has from the land owner and asked if the term "maintenance" meant above surface or slope erosion. He said the developer would not want to assume liability or responsibility for washouts, etc., and suggested clarif ication of the terms. Reterring to the 17-foot permanent easement, he said the developer proposed to maintain the slope, if the City would take responsibility for below- surface maintenance. He added the developer would want a clear definition relating to vacation of the easement, so as to not assume more responsibility than appropriate. Taxes were discussed, and Mayor Stern noted that automobile dealerships are one of the lowest tax-prod�cing categories. In response to Councilman Hanks, the City Attorney explained that if the Council's decision is to vacate an easement, the procedure would be the adoption of an ordinance as with a street or alley vacation. -78- City Council minutes, February 21, 1978 Councilman Griak suggested the question of easements should be resolved to avoid misunderstandings in the future with respect to slope maintenance, etc. Mr. McGrann stated the applicant did not wish to delay special permit aPProval and felt Council action at this time could be contingent upon working out an appropriate agreement with the City Attorney and staff. Mayor Stern stated he would be amenable to this approach, and if agreement could not be accomplished, the Council could reconsider the matter. In response to Counciltnan Meland, Jack Walser stated that all vans are licensed as trucks. Councilman Meland asked if the developer concurred with Condition No. 6, screening of rooftop equipment. Mr. McGrann stated the applicant could foresee no problem with this condition but that the building was not designed per se. He said the case of covering t.he equipment over entirely remained to be resolved. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Hanks, to amend Condition No. 4 of the proposed resolution to read: There shall be no more than three free-standing signs (one not to exceed 42 feet on Utica Avenue; two not to exceed 25 feet on West 35 Street; and the 42 feet shall be lowered to the maximum allowable height when the grade of Highway 100 is lowered); no free-standing sign shall contain more than 325 square feet counting all sides. For the purpose of this condition, signs less than 64 inches high and containing less than 35 square feet shall not constitute a free-standing sign. The motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Martin opposed). The City Attorney stated he would prefer to review the language of the proposed amendments to the easementi agreements. Ne suggested the motion to approve adoption of the resol«t�on indicate it is conditioned on the acceptance of the applicant of language developed by staf£. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Hanks, that approval of the special permit be conditioned upon the fol].owing suggestions of the City Attorney relating to the easement agreement: 1) deletion of Condition No. 2 of the easement dated 9-18-75; 2) clarification of Condition No. 3 of said easement; 3) and which further provides for any other actions by the applicant necessary to effectuate these decisions of the Council.
