r? PLANNING COMMISSION V. C01,1PN2dICATIONS • 11o I tems VI. NEW BUSIIQESS- P-age 2 Subdivision No. 4-East side of Bentley Drive between Lorain Rd. and Curtis Drive. This is a re-subdivision of Sublot No. 2 of the Groveland Garden Subdivision No. 3(formerly Permanent Parcel Nos.237-4- 34, 237-4-35, 237-4-36) into three (3) sublots. This property had orginally been 3 lots, but had been assembled into one. The request is now to redivide it back to the origianl 3 lots. Mr. McDermott explained that there was a slight variation in size between s/1 1& 2 in order for them to conform to square foot area for a C residential lot. Martin Listen, representing Trans-Con Builders explained that these lots have no frontage on Lorain Rd. and that the only use that they can put them to will be for single family homes. The proposal was explained to the adjacent property owners. Mr. Prokasy moved to approve the preliminary Groveland Subdivision No. 4 proposal to divide one existing lot into 3 lots, seconded : by Mr. Ohman and unani-mously approved. Proposed Ordinance No. 78-179 was discussed. This ordinance states in part "tnat all signs should be located no closer than ten (10) feet from the public right of way". There was discussion about puttinb the ordinance in committee for study, h.owever since the Planning Gommission had had the ordinance for over thirty days it was decided that it should be voted on and sent back to council with recommendations, if any. Law Director Gareau pointed out that the city now required a 7 foot buffer strip and this could mean that the pole signs mbght have to be located in the parking lot in some in- stances. Discussion ensued. Mr. Bugala made a r.iotion that the Planning Commission disapproves Ordinance 78-179 in that this ordinance violates the efficient operation of the 7 foot buffer ordinance and that the Planning Commission as well as the Council Committee are currently reviewing the Signage Ordinances and that these should be handled as a package. Secon ded by J. Brown and unanimously approved. JANUARY 9, 1979 VII. OLD BUSINESS: No Items. VII. COrQi1TTEE REPORTS: The Sign Cor:unittee has not met but ?•ir.
