DONALD R. SPOMER - SIGN VARIANCE:
Mr. Todd Plummer, representing the owner, appeared requesting a
height and setback sign variance at the intersection of Peak Viev;
and Prospect Estates Drives. The Sign Code requires 10' setbacks
from the travelled way; the owner is requesting 5' setback from
the edge of the asphalt. Mr. Plummer stated this setback would
not result in traffic safety problems. The height variance
request is for 3'8" in lieu of the 2'6" requirement. A 30"
height variance would allow the signs to remain (which are
already under construction). No visibility problems are antic
ipated. The sign would be of a permanent nature using moss rock
and including a redwood face to identify the subdivision. Mr.
Dean Wariner, owner of Lot 18, stated the sign would create no
safety hazard. When asked if Mr. Wariner would allow an easement
for the sign on his property in order to meet the 10' setback
requirement, Mr. Wariner stated "yes." Public Works Director
Widmer stated the minimal 5' dimension would not interfere with
snowplows; however, the signs might not always be visible due to
the snow being thrown to the right side of the road thus covering
the signs. An existing 'For Sale' sign is also located in the
subdivision; however, this sign does not meet Sign Code
due to the pictorial representation of the subdivision on the
sign. Mr. Plummer stated the 'For Sale' sign could be brought
into compliance. Planner Stamey stated no correspondence was
received. Member Sager moved the height portion (height to be
determined by Staff) of the variance be approved and the setback
portion of the variance be denied. Member Brown seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
ROBERT E. BURGESS - SETBACK VARIANCE - 141 WEST WONDERVIEW:
Mr. Robert E. Burgess, petitioner, appeared requesting a 17'
setback variance to build a carport and deck in the southeast
corner of his property bordering the State Highway. The setback
required is 25'; this variance would leave a setback of 8'. Mr.
Burgess stated he had used this piece of property a number of
years for his vehicles. Planner Stamey stated he had received a
telephone call from Wally Jacobsen (State Highway Department)
November 14, 1984. Mr. Jacobsen stated the State Highway
Department is opposed to the variance request due to the
possibility of the department's need to use their right-of-way in
the future, backing movements in the right-of-way and potential
safety problems. Discussion followed with Member Brown moving
the variance be granted. Member Laing seconded the motion and it
passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Members Brown,
Laing, Lamson and Wood. Those voting "No" Member Sager.
VARIANCE SUBMITTAL PROCEDURE:
Member Sager moved staff reports for each variance request, (when
appropriate, as determined by the Chairman), accompanied by
pertinent drawings, be submitted to the Board of Adjustment prior
to each meeting. Chairman Wood seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
