Planning Director Russ stated this sign will be the biggest sign in Louisville. Council member Sackett supported the proposal. Council member Loo asked if the 231 SF sign would set a legal precedent. City Attorney Light explained if a new use comes in, they are not entitled to the waiver on the sign. Council members Loo, Jasiak and Yarnell supported the 231SF waiver for the signage. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 53, Series 2013, including the waiver for a maximum sign of 231SF, seconded by Council member Jasiak. All were in favor.
