5B. REQUEST FROM COUNCILMAN PIKE - HEIGHT LIMITS ON SERVICE
STATION SIGNS.
Mr. Hersh explained the request, stating that Councilman
Pike requested the Planning Commission to study the height
limit on service station signs, particulary in the vicinity
of freeways, and perhaps allow a higher height limit. Mr.
Hersh stated that at this time there are only four service
stations in the city that might desire a taller sign, and
that this is currently a provision in the service station
ordinance which provides for modification of the ordinance
that would be sufficient to allow consideration of any
requests for a sign higher than the permitted height.
After discussion, Chairman Larson instructed the Sign Com-
mittee to study this matter and report back to the Commission.

MENTS - JOINT SESSION.
Mr. Hersh stated the Economic Development Committee is forming

to arrange an evening meeting after the Economic Development
Committee has formed their committee.

THE COMMISSION.
Miss Cheryl Hamilton, 3537 Marybeth, inquired as to the
validity of a rumor that Marshall Street would be extended through
the property where Savanna.'i School now stanc':�.
Mr. Hersh explained that the rumor is probably based on the
fact that the Circulation Element of the General Plan adopted
by the City Council in November, 1967, indicates that the
street should go through and that City Manager Gunn at a recent
joint meeting of the School Board and the City Council made a
statement regarding the need for the street to go through.

meeting at 8 :20 P,M.
