CASINO. 451 Variance Motion: By Russell Meister to approve variance of 450 feet for garage addition to make a total of 1200 square feet. Seconded by Dean .Miller Unanimously carried. Nancy Inderieden, 229 E. Chestnut St., for sign for the Papier, etc. Shop - two foot variance for proposed sign to extend three feet over sidewalk. Ms_ Inderieden presented diagrams of proposed sign and pictures of the building. She stated that the square shape is detailed with the character of the building. She stated her main concern is that the sign be visible from Main Street. She said the sign will be hung so that it is structurally safe. Barbara Avise questioned lighting of the sign. Ms. Inderieden stated she will be able to shine a light through the window from the inside. C. J. Sleiter questioned Ms. Inderieden why a variance should be granted specifically for her shop. She stated once again because of the visibility so her customers know where the new location for her shop is. Barbara Avise asked if she had considered advertising on her awning, Ms. Inderieden stated that it would not be adequate as the area would not be very large. C. J. Sleiter suggested the possibility of a one -foot sign with writing up and down. She stated this would not be very visible and it is more difficult to read up and down. C. J. Sleiter commented that we should not start the problem of precedence. He feels that if a variance would be granted for her shop, what would prevent other store owners from wanting even larger signs. Ms. Inderieden explained other business neighboring her that would probably not want signs. Barbara Avise stated that the precedence goes farther than Chestnut Street, Motion: By C. J. Sleiter to deny request for two foot variance for proposed sign to extend three feet over sidewalk. Seconded by Barbara Avise. 3 ayes 1 nay Russell Meister David Horstmann Additional Uses for Special Use Permit Request for additional uses for his Special Use Permit (Pre -School Nursery) Mr. Horstmann explained five requests which he would like added to his special use permit. They were the following: 1. An open -house for prospective parents - appr. 4 per year 2. Parent -Board meetings - appr. 4-6 times a year 3. Some kind of event in which parents and children would get together (pot -luck dinner, -picnic, etc.) 4. Annual yard sale 5. Parenting classes as a service to the community. It was the general concensus of the committee that the first four requests were definitely pre-school related functions and Mr. Horstmann should not have to come back to the Planning Commission each time he would like to do something related to usual pre-school activities. Motion: By Barbara Avise to recommend that special Use Permit be expanded to include those activities that are a normal part of running a pre-school. Seconded by Russell Meister Unanimously approved. There was further discussion on item number five above, The Committee considers this expanding his business rather than a related normal activity of a pre-school. Motion: By Russell Meister to deny increase of business from other schools. Seconded by Barbara Avise Unanimously carried. Motion by Russell Meister, seconded by Barbara Avise to adjourn at 8;15 p.m. Respectfully submitted,` Gwen Monty, Secretary
