. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 August 23, 1989 REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION - PROPOSED CONDOMINIUM PLAT FOR 7255-57 DELMAR BOULEVARD Mr. Mark D. Hirshfeld, an attorney representing the applicant, Richard Hirshfeld, explained that the request is one to subdivide a two-family building at 7255-S7 Delmar Boulevard for condominiums and it is the intention of the present owner to remain in one of the units and sell the other unit. Chairman McCauley called on the Planning Director for a report on the application. Mr. Goldman stated that the proposed plat is complete, the units and appropriate elements have been labeled and it displays all the appropriate requirements of the subdivision ordinance; and further, the staff sees no reason why the plat should not be approved as submitted. Mr. Goldman then answered questions from members of the Plan Commission. Mr. Safe moved that the Plan Commission approve the record plat for the subdivision for the Hirshfeld Condominium, dated May 19, 1989, as submitted. Mr. Marsh seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 7-0. PROPOSAL TO AMEND UNIVERSITY CITY SIGN CODE - COMMERCIAL GROUP DIRECTORY SIGNAGE Planning Director Al Goldman presented a revised proposal for commercial group directory signs which was previously reviewed by the Commission in May and June as Industrial Group Directory Signs. Mr. Goldman registered his reservations about the proposal because he felt the Plan Commission was trying to address too many problems. The text of the proposal is as follows: Section 34-102.4 g. Group Directory Signs: Groups of businesses or institutions shall be permitted one (1) freestanding directory sign, provided that: 1) the group contains a minimum of four (4) establishments with a minimum average floor area of four thousand (4,000) square feet each; and 2) the sign does not exceed forty (40) square feet in gross sign area and ten (10) feet in sign height; provided, however, if the street frontage for the group is over three hundred (300) lineal feet, the sign may be increased to eighty (80) square feet in gross sign area and fifteen (IS) feet in sign height. A Commercial Group Directory Sign which exceeds either ten (10) feet in height or forty (40) square feet In area shall maintain a minimum right-of-way setback of five (S) feet and shall not be located closer than one hundred and fifty (150) feet from any property which does not contain a building or establishment in the group; and 3) no other freestanding signs related to businesses within the group, other than Parking Direction Signs and Directional Signs not exceeding six (6) feet in height, shall be located within two hundred (200) feet of a Commercial Group Directory Sign. A Commercial Group Directory Sign may include the name of the commercial group, address and directory information.
