Mrs. Sue Mecanick had requested that Mrs. Clara Freeman's property at 431 West Highway 50 be rezoned from R-3 Residential/Professional to C-1 Light Commercial. This property on Lots 3 and 5, Block 44, City Blocks, is the only R-3 district in a zone classified C-1. After a brief discussion, Mrs. Relyea moved that it be recommended that City Council rezone this property from R-3 to C-l. The motion was seconded by Mr. Evans and received a unanimous vote. GROUND SIGNS. Commission member Nick Jones had requested that a discussion of the City's ordinance treating ground signs be placed on the agenda. He stated that the sign he wishes to use is a subtle, unobtrusive sign, and that Section 26-60 (c) of the sign ordinance was written to control billboard and flashing signs. He questioned the requirement for certain ground signs to be half the distance of the front yard setback from the right-of-way, since, in his situation, the sign would be in the center of the parking area. After lengthy discussion, during which D4r. Czech pointed out that the problem is of Mr. Jones' own creation and that the Ordinance should be adhered to, a motion was made by Mr. Thompson and seconded by Mrs. Relyea that the Commission take Section 26-60 (c) of the Sign Ordinance under consideration at its next meeting. The following members voted yea: Czech, Fogle, Jones, Relyea, Sargent, and Thompson. Mr. Evans voted nay. ADJOURNMENT was at 8:00. ,~ ~~ JOHN N.
