Howard arrived (7:23 p.m.). Levihn suggested that Council establish a time line for reviewing these issues, possibly adopt a moratorium on any future projects but allow the two projects currently underway to continue. Sisk stated that Nancy Love expressed willingness to delay her expansion project for a few months and Arlin Lehman has previously expressed a willingness to work with the City on his project.

The PUD Amendment was approved in 1997, and authorized a five foot high by 31'1" long, individual pan channel, illuminated wall sign on the south elevation of the building. The existing temporary sign was erected without a permit last spring. A temporary banner is'in place where the proposed wall sign would be located. This PUD amendment was originally scheduled for Planning Commission review on September 8, 1998. It was continued because the application was incomplete.
