I Ryan sasma, I Marilyn Montemire I David Hoffman, I Motion passes Thank you very much your presentation and we're looking forward to your opening awesome. Thank you so much Next item is item 3.2, which is a conditional units and variance application by Heather management LLC to operate pet supplies plus from 567 south Taylor Drive the vacant space and Taylor Heights shopping center Steve. Thanks mayor Jordan All right Jordan O'Connor is here from design to construct who is representing Heather management LLC Some of you may recall the Heather. It's Dave Heather who used to be the owner of Lakeland Toyota and Subaru So Dave has taken a look as Heather management at operating a pet supplies plus at 567 south Taylor Drive Pet supplies plus is a nationwide pet supply chain whose locations are owned and operated by franchisees and they've identified Sheboygan as a territory of growth and Dave Heather who currently Operates multiple locations across southeast Wisconsin would be the owner operated for the Sheboygan franchise typical services at the pet supplies plus would include just retail points of sale for your typical Pet foods and products self-service pet wash dog grooming services pet adoption Types of services that would not be provided would be pet boarding daycare and dog training the store will be staffed by Approximately three to four full-time employees and ten part-time employees typical hours of operation are 9 a.m To 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and then 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sunday No for a sign package wasn't presented at this time, but they would just work with staff with regards to signage They are requesting one variance and that is the applicant is requesting to have a variance to have cats older than six months in their Adoption area our ordinance just kind of talks about no dogs or cats more than six months Are to be kept on premise and I think a lot of this is dealt with like the Humane Society and things of that nature Where they have the cats cats for up for adoption? So staff was recommending approval of the proposal. Obviously this Taylor Heights has had some vacancies this I believe this space has been vacant possibly since the Chinese restaurant moved out and and started operating from the site you know the Outlawed site so this is a large space that's been vacant for a lot of time And it's a good use for the Taylor Heights shopping center and staff is recommending approval Thank you for that report Steve with the applicant like to make any other comments Hi, Steve said I'm Jordan O'Connor. Hi. He did a pretty good job of explaining what we're looking at doing here I think the only thing that you know, maybe we weren't you know Explicit on just yet, and it was brought up just recently by the by Dave Heather The one thing that they would possibly be looking to do as well is the front Curve area the sidewalk curb they would Potentially be interested in installing an ADA curb cut there just for for customers and things like that But that I assume that's something that we could work with you guys on a staff level to make sure that location would be Adequate and everything there, but beyond that. Yeah, I'll happy to answer any other questions that you guys have for the Proposal here. I can address a marathon. Yeah They mr. Heather and and designed to construct could just work with our building inspection department at the time of occupancy Permits and just let them know that that's one of the items that you're looking at doing and just work with them on that I'm sure you know to I'll provide an ADA axis is a good thing. So yeah, it's something that they'll work with you on Okay, perfect Commissioners any questions or motions make a motion to approve I Can thank you for that motion and support one last call for any other discussion Seeing none the clerk Mayor van der steen I older person born Hi Ryan sasma Marilyn Montemire Hi Dave Hoffman I Motion passes fantastic. Thanks guys. Thank you very much. Good luck with your presentation proposal Item 3.3 is a conditional use and variance application By the city of ship wagon to install a new monument sign at city hall Located at 828 center Avenue Steve. All right. So what we're looking at doing here is I think we're familiar with the applicant We'll just say we'll just call it the mayor in this instance What we're taking a look at is Installing a monument sign along 9th Street The sign would be a new single-sided non illuminated 80 square feet about 5 feet tall the actual sign panel itself Where you see the the shabuigan City Hall is about 39 square feet You can see that the sign itself in terms of materials and colors As matching the building in terms of the mason area and brick and then the flange aluminum terracotta aluminum panel And cast aluminum letters with brush silver finish So so it's a very attractive sign one of the things that we are requesting is a variance The sign itself will be 15 point two feet from the face of curb and typically it's supposed to be 24 feet So we're requesting the variance to that and basically what the sign is doing is just Identifying City Hall to people who are looking to do business at City Hall and directing them to the new front entrance And parking spaces in the front so staff was recommending approval of the proposed sign Thank You Steve would the applicant like to make any comments mayor. Do you have any comments? I've got a question please go ahead Jim make it a good one Thank Why well first of all is this coming out of your budget mayor or where's it's coming from? She had city foam money for it. Yeah, don't don't so Kaloski is in the audience. She'll she'll be happy to answer that Hello, Alderborn Hi, Dawn. How are you? So well Some people some people have asked me that and I said I'm as bored as an Amish electrician So Alderborn that you'll be happy to know that the sign was budgeted with the City Hall renovation project budget We did have twenty five thousand dollars allotted for the sign and we are spending approximately 18 so It's covered That's good to hear my follow-up question would be I just happened to become this would probably be for the mayor I was just happened to be coming downtown earlier this afternoon to go to the post office And I was coming down Center Avenue and I thought about this agenda item tonight and the sign on 9th Street Looks like it's going to be beautiful But I'm wondering because there is so much traffic on Center Avenue on the old entrance side of City Hall and Seeing that we have eight thousand dollars left Is there any possibility of maybe doing something on Center Avenue? Maybe directing people over to the north side with an arrow or something But it just looks kind of bear there because there used to be a sign up there and now there's nothing Although the one on 9th is going to be beautiful Well, thanks for that suggestion. We'll look into it. Yeah, we we had the Jim the original proposal from the sign was to put it back in the place on the corner where the original one was and after Internal discussion and the fact of trying to make sure we you know direction people to where the door actually is the decision was made to move it to 9th Street, but You know, there is a sign outside that says use north and Entrance and maybe that can be beautified more than just a street sign so we can look at that All right. Yeah, that would be good and if it would be within that budget to kind of Match something up with the one on 9th Street. I think that would be a great ambiance or City Hall You know for people coming from both directions Thanks for that idea Looking for a motion to approve motion to approve second Thank you for that motion and support one last call for any other discussion See none.
