The motion was seconded by A. Manuing. Roll call on motion: Tallon, Manning, Cameron Alstou, Koeth, and O'Rourke. Brennan and Herbster, no. Motion carried. The members discussed the square footage allowed for the sign, it was determined that the sign would be about 96 square feet (75 foot allowed) aud about 7.5 feet high (4 feet allowed). Mr. Rymarczyk advised that he had re-figured the signs at approximately 602.5 square feet which includes the 20 feet wide awnings. It was noted that there was about 340 square feet of awniings. W. Tallon clarified that the letters themselves are only 4 feet high, but they are staggered and when a rectangle is drawn arouud them it is 7. 5 high. Each awning is 20 feet long so there is 340 foot of awning sign and approximately 250 foot of letter signage, based on the smallest square that it can be put in. Actually one awning will account for their entire allotted square footage. Mr. McAndrews stated that when they removed the back lighting, the awnings would not be considered part of the. sign area. It was clarified that they had decorative logos on the awnings so they would be considered sign area. Mr. McAndrews suggested having each awning a different color (one red, one blue, one black, one yellow etc.) The members clarified that the "Hollywood Video" would still need a variance, but they did not like the different color awniugs. Mr. Klein stated that they could go with a red awning to match the accent band and the color of the word "Video". The awning would not then be considered a sign. The members agreed. 'R Tallon moved to refer the Hollywood Video proposal, 4692-4678 Great Northern Blvd. to the boar4 of zoning appeals with the recommendation that the film strips will be removed from the awniugs and they would be a solid red color in the awning and the rest of the signage will remain as presented. The recommendation of the board of zoning appeals is to allow the variance for the "Hollywood Video" and to eluninate the film strip and yellow from the awuings so the awniugs are a solid red matte finish. The motion was seconded by T. Brennan, and u.nanimously approved. 2) Radisson Hotel, 25070 Country Club Blvd. Proposal to construct addition to existing hotel. Amendment to Corporate Center preliminary land use plan approved by planuing commission December 10, 1996 and approved by Council December 17, 1996. Referral to board of zoning appeals is r.equired. Mr. Kaczmar and Mr. Scott, architects, presented the proposal. Mr. I{aczmar presented a rendering showing the original usage as stipulated by the previous master plan. A portion of this plan was changed from recreational usage to hotel and parking to accommodate the addition. The second rendering showed what was planned: a six story wing off to the east side of the north portion of the property for guest rooms, and a one story 5,000 square foot banquet or ball room addition contiguous to that face of the building. He clarified that there was a change in elevation of the ceiling in the banquet area. There will also be an upgrade of the facilities in the existing hotel including an approximate 600 square foot expansion of the existing restaurant on the west side of the property. He presented a revised site plar which he maintained would improve traffic flow on the site for truck traffic and emergency vehicles The addition will remain as shown in the original submittal. At this time there is parking immediately contiguous to the north line, and they would -like to retain, along the north base, an access drive for 2
