He said that Wings Finanical has requested to install a new freestanding sign a the northwest corner of the lot adjacent to Parrish Avenue and 87th Street. He explained that when Great River Centre was approved it included a set of design guidelines for the overall development which included a signage plan. He further explained that the orginal developer is no longer involved in the project, so there is fragmentation of ownership which means it makes implementing those shared signage guidelines more complicated. Wings financial is requesting a 50 square feet and 18 feet tall sign, which is larger in area and larger in height then allowed with the current PUD. CM Darkenwald said that Great River Centre had an orginal development agreement that was approved and he questioned the City Attorney on what happened to that developers agreement. City Attorney MacArthur said the agreement is still there and transfers to the current property owner, as it stays recorded against the property. CM Darkenwald asked what impact does this have on the other parties of the development. City Attorney MacArthur said as long as we amend the PUD and there is no objections there is no impact. CM Warehime said he feels this is a tall sign when compared to the freestanding Target sign; and he feels the proposed sign would be more attractive if the sign was lower. Applicant, Chris Clark, Leroy Sign Company, explained the sign and design. CM Warehime motioned to approve a PUD Development Stage Plan for Wings Financial to allow a freestanding sign subject to the conditions outlined in the Findings of Fact and decision as presented. Seconded by CM Tanner. All in favor. Motion carried. 4.3 Consider Ordinance 2019-05 Amendment to Section 11-17-12 Requiring Storm Shelters. City Planner Licht presented the staff report.
