Dave@aimsign.com
2.2 OWNER: MTP ACQUISTION, 520 FLORIDA LLC, 3605 ARTHUR ST, Caldwell ID, 83605
2.4 REQUEST: A request by David Baker of Aim Sign on behalf of Canyon Crossing Storage, for an appeal of the Hearing Examiner’s conditions of approval for SUP22-000006 which limited
the square footage of the electronic reader board to 48 square feet. The applicant is requesting City Council approve amending the condition of approval to allow for the installation
of a 98 square foot electronic reader board on a 40 foot pylon sign in the C-3 (Service Commercial) zone.
2.5 BACKGROUND:
SUP22-000006 was an application for an increase in the allowed electronic reader board size from 48 square feet to 98 square feet. During the Hearing of SUP22-000006 the planner assigned
to the case was not present and the application was not presented as it should have been. The focus of the hearing was on the size and height of the sign itself not the reader board.
The Hearing Examiner approved the SUP with the added condition “8.7 The sign applied for and the cited exhibits will be allowed but the reader board itself will be at the allowed dimension
of 48 square feet”. The SUP was for an enlarged electronic reader board, the added condition is essentially a denial of the SUP. The applicant would like to have this condition removed
to make the approval a true approval.
