City Council Meeting Minutes November 6, 2017 Page 11 of 17 Mr. Oberholzer said as owners they are open to other options and willing to take the time if it is needed. Their understanding was they had no other options and want to maintain some of the structure and originality of the sign. Mayor Muckle supported looking at other options. Councilmember Leh felt looking at the criteria on the table; Council should not continue but deny this application and let the owner move on to other options. Director Zuccaro stated the planning department may be able to grant some sign waivers through a PUD process and a Board of Adjustment variance. Attorney Light stated the options are a motion to approve and if it fails, bring back a resolution not to landmark, or a continuance. Mayor Muckle moved to disapprove the landmark and direct staff to work with applicant on other options. Attorney Light recommended against tying the two together as the items require different processes under the municipal code. Motion died. Councilmember Keany moved to continue Resolution No. 65, Series 2017 to the December 5, 2017 meeting. Mayor Muckle seconded. Voice vote 4-3, Councilmember Leh, Councilmember Loo, and Councilmember Stolzmann voting no. Attorney Light was asked to clarify the direction to staff. He stated it is to get with property owner to see what other options might allow for some city participation that allows for a sign to go in that mimics the current sign, determine and identify a path determining whether it is possible to install a new sign mimicking the current one and then advising Council whether it is. Councilmember Loo felt this was missing key elements. Attorney Light stated staff needs to identify what elements are involved in pursuing this other path and if money in the HPF can be used to achieve this type of iconic design. He wanted to clarify no decision was made on whether the grant funds are available and if so, how much, or if so under what conditions. That will have to come back to Council if staff can find a path forward. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton moved to continue Resolution No. 66, Series 2017 to December 5, 2017. Mayor Muckle seconded. Voice vote 6-1 Councilmember Stolzmann voting no.
