Community Development Director Julie Christensen introduced a resolution approving an Obstruction Easement to allow a sign in the public right of way abutting the property located at 2460 Milwaukee Road. It was noted that the Plan Commission recommended denial 5-0-1. Ms. Christensen indicated that staff made a mistake in allowing this agenda item to move forward. She explained that the Milwaukee Road right-of-way is also a state trunk highway, and, as such, the City Council cannot approve an obstruction easement. She said that she has discussed this issue with the applicant and that they are working together to find a location for a sign that meets the requirements of the Sign Code. City Attorney Tom Casper indicated that the State prohibits signage in state rights-of-way and that the Council may not take action on this item. File 8107 b.
