Submitted by Sign Graphics for Parker Highland Condominium Asan. (Owner) . Steve Yost of Sign Graphics represented the project , advising the proposed sign met all Code requirements . It would be placed closer to the road than the existing sign so it would be in a better line of vision for motorists and thus alleviate some traffic conditions . He also said the sign would be illuminated from within; colors used would be dark brown and ivory. Noting that a smaller "Exit" sign in near proximity was also in a deteriorated condition, it was asked if this sign could be replaced at the same time as the larger sign. In response, Manager Pete Gehring said he would check with his Board to see if they would agree to the additional sign, but did not foresee any problem. It was then suggested that the smaller sign be included in today' s decision, with a time certain set as to whether it would be installed. MOTION by MR. BEHRMAN/MR.

Review Proposed Amendment to Chapter 30, Section 5 (Supplementary District Regulations) . Substantial discussion took place, with the Building Official advising that the proposed amendment referred specifically to 5 . 1 (a) , [Height Limits/Fences, Walls & Hedges] . Ms . Leffingwell pointed out that while Code allows for 6' maximum height walls on side and rear property lines, it limits front property lines to 2-1/2 ' maximum if wall is placed on property line; 6 ' maximum height if placed 5' within property line . The proposed amendment would allow for the 6 ' maximum height on front property line if there is no visibility impairment as regards entering the roadway; visibility restrictions, she noted, are addressed in the landscaping code . Ms . Leffingwell further noted that should the Code be amended to reflect this change, it would be in keeping with es%, other municipal codes, as well as county codes . Concluding discussion, MR.
