'plans. M. Meredith seconded the motion. Roll call: J. Lasko, G. Malone, M. Mahoney, M. Meredith, M. Yager - yes; R. Bohlmann, J. Cotner - no. Motion approved. In the framing of the motion Mr. Bohlmann voiced that he was concerned that recommending a variance for not having an irrigation system and not requiring a performance criteria or other alternative method to ensure the site landscaping will properly be maintained would set a precedence to other applicants. Although Mr. Lasko agreed with Mr. Bohlmanri concerns he believed that the applicant in fact showed he had a viable method in which to maintain the site and city codes and ordinances ensures that what has been approved must be maintained or continuously replaced by the applicant. J. Lasko moved to approve the proposal for Olmsted Plaza of 4570-4724 Great Northern Blvd consisting of plaza streetscape improvements and sign package conditioned upon a favorable action of the Board of Zoning Appeals granting variances pertaining signage and alternative irrigation system with the following conditions: 1) The proposed landbanked parking is approved as shown on plans dated March 22, 2006. 2) The recommendations made by the commission's landscape expert pertaining to mixed plantings within the beds and plant types are followed as discussed. 3) The signage criteria page S-1 will show the following alterations made: Under paragraph 5) remove both references to the Board of Zoning Appeals and add a paragraph 9) stating that any amendments to the master sign plan would have to be approved rirst by the landlord then the landlord would have to obtain the Planning & Design Commissions approval prior to any subsequent variances being sought from the Board of Zoning Appeals by a tenant.
