Mr. Goldman stated that the issue of the flood way was not resolved to his satisfaction but acknowledged that the building question is probably out of the area of the floodway. He stated that any review from Metropolitan Sewer District should include their recommendation for storm water detention and such recommendations should be incorporated into the project in order to slow the flow of storm water into the River Des Peres to prevent flash flooding. He stated that the code limits sign heights to 10 feet and that the existing 16 foot high sign can technically be considered as "grandfathered," he recommended that all signs be limited to those which comply with the current sign code.
