the building. Corey moved to approve subject to removal of the temporary signage, and
with the recommendation that they consider changing the tower to a new freestanding sign
which fits better with the new theme. Ken seconded. Approved 6-0.

approve the changes to the overall plans. Mark seconded. Approved 6-0.

John's parking lot. They are looking at a similar building at Albertsons at 900 W Idaho,
but have put those plans on -hold while they consider a possible re -design. Discussion
related to site circulation, lighting and landscaping. Corey moved to approve, with a
recommendation that consideration that lawnturf/shrubs be installed along Idaho and that
traffic/pedestrian safety be taken into account. Bill seconded. Approved 6-0.

project. They are changing the main entrance to the rear. They will change the rock
landscaping. Some discussion regarding parking spaces (a change of use will lead to
closing the spaces which back into the street, and their overall parking ratio may limit their
options). A lighting plan will need to be submitted. Mark moved to approve the project

with landscaping. John seconded. Approved 6-0.
