HEAVEN GOOD EVENING, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FOR TWO MONUMENTS SIGNS WITHIN. A DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENT. UM BEFORE THE APPLICANTS SUBMITTED THE VARIANCE APPLICATION, HE MADE SURE TO CONTACT THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS, AND THEY HAVE RESPONDED IN SAYING THAT THERE WASN'T ANY UTILITIES UNDERNEATH THAT EASEMENT. AND THE DRAINAGE ALSO IS, UM IT'S LOCATED WITHIN UNDERNEATH AN EXISTING FIRE LENGTH THROUGH THE STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM. UM WITH THAT SAID THE SAME. THE SAME SIGN ORDINANCE REQUIRES THE VARIANCES JUST IN CASE THERE WAS A UTILITY EASEMENT OR UTILITIES UNDERNEATH THE EASEMENT, BUT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THERE AREN'T ANY WE SENT NOTICES NOTICES TO 11 PROPERTY OWNERS AND RECEIVED ONE IN FAVOR OF THE VARIANTS, AND THAT'S WHERE THE CHECK MARK IS ON THE SCREEN.
