Subject matter is again on the agenda inasmuch as applicant was not given notice of the hearing scheduled at the E previous meeting. Leo Cook, Attorney for applicant and Dave Holland, Manager of Mr. Steak were present in the audience to speak in favor of the j request. The' main concern is to have a sign at a location which generates traffic to the business from the freeway. Experience showed that business dropped over the holiday weekends instead of increasing. Planning Commission recommendation for denial was based on a policy to direct all signing inwardly in the centers at the time the centeYswere first established and discourage signing from fronting East Perkins Street as would occur if this request were granted. If this request were granted, it could set a precedent. Michael Harris, the Planning Director spoke and conveyed these concerns to Council, and also stated subject request is not the intent of the sign ordinance.
