Holbrook & Manter –
Discussion
held concerning location of handicap parking spaces. Mr. Kraus stated they should be located
in front of building for easier access for the disabled clients.
Board
members suggested a gable roof over the rear door so it doesn’t look so plan
from the
back because of the high visibility from the county property and
S.R. 38. Suggested less than front entry – something to give some
architectural character.
The
roof will be 40-year dimensional shingles.
Earth tone brick to be not as red as drawing shows. Soldier bricks to be
used on tops of windows.
Signage
has not yet been considered but must meet sign
regulations.
Will
not be parking lot lighting (not necessary because of street lights and lights
from county building). Will use lights on building.

Political Sign Resolution
forwarded by City Council
Discussion
held by Planning Commission members and City Councilmen John Gore and David
Burke on political signs.
Mr.
Gore stated he felt City Law Director should have enforced ordinance in place
until such time it was challenged in court. Three main points for political signs -
out of right out way;
time limits and
eliminate clutter. Asked if this could be a ballot issue.
Mr.
Griffin stated his three items are time limits, size of signs and location of
signs.
Discussion
held concerning verbiage for keeping out of right-of-way and publicly owned
property. This would mean schools
could not endorse their levies on school properties either. Everyone in agreement there should be a
time limit for removal of signs.
Mr.
Kraus would like to see verbiage of “the community of Marysville prefers that
campaign signs regarding candidates or issues that will appear on the ballot not
be put out until 17 days before the election… Would also like
distance included because of variety of right-of-ways in the City. Example would be 15’ from edge of curb
and edge of street pavement. Would like to limit size of signs in residential areas to 12 sq. ft.
or smaller. Noted law
director stated this could probably be done due to size limitations on
residential signs already in place.
Mr.
Seymour and Mr. Kraus agreed to meet and draft an ordinance with the information
provided tonight and have the law director review by next week’s special
Planning Commission meeting. Will copy to members and also to Mr. Gore and Mr.
Burke.
