AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: This time was set aside for the Council to
PUBLIC HEARING take comments from the public regarding an
-APPEAL OF HEARING appeal of the Hearing Examiner’s denial of
EXAMINER DECISION Comfort Care Dental’s sign exception.
–COMFORT CARE Comfort Care Dental, represented by David
DENTAL Lee of YESCO (mailing address: 275 South 5th
Avenue, Suite 100, Pocatello ID 83201)
requested a 56 square foot, 18.5 foot tall sign at 485 East Alameda
Road. The property is located in a Residential Commercial
Professional zoning district where Municipal Code 15.20.180 allows
a 32 square foot, 6 foot tall sign. The applicant has changed
their design to a 48 square foot, 8 foot tall sign.
Mayor Blad opened the public hearing.
David Lee, YESCO representative, stated he feels his client has
taken reasonable steps to modify their sign plan and still
incorporate digital display, similar to other businesses in the
area. He indicated the 8 foot tall sign would have a message board
at the bottom of the sign to be non-intrusive into neighboring
homes. Mr. Lee indicated the proposed sign would have dimming
capabilities and would have the equivalent lighting output as
Christmas lights. He added that it has been recommended to have
the sign’s lights turned off between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and
6:00 a.m. and his client is willing to comply with this condition.
Discussion followed regarding the overall height of the sign and
the proposed height of illumination.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Lee indicated Dr. Chris
Hansen is the dentist at Comfort Care Dental.
Terri Neu, Assistant Planner, gave a short overview of the proposal
and revisions which have been made to the plans, since the time of
the original application. She stated three (3) written comments in
opposition to the sign were received and given to Council.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4
NOVEMBER 21, 2013
Niki Taysom, 4604 Burley Drive, Chubbuck, spoke in opposition to
the proposed exception. She feels the existing rules regarding
illuminated signs are in place for a reason and should not have
exceptions. Ms. Taysom feels there is enough light pollution
throughout the city.
Craig Cox, 477 Wyldwood, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He
stated he lives across the street from the dental office and feels
the best advertising is good quality work, rather than signs that
could become a distraction or an eyesore.
In response to questions from Council, Mr. Lee stated the intention
of a sign is to draw attention to the business, while keeping the
messages simple to avoid driver distractions. He feels that a 6
foot tall sign sometimes cannot be seen during high traffic times.
In response to a question from Council, Ms. Neu stated streaming
video is not allowed and messages must be displayed for 8 seconds
to avoid safety issues.
There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the
public hearing.
A motion was made by Mr. Johnston, seconded by Mr. Bray, to uphold
the findings of the Hearing Examiner and deny the appeal of Comfort
Care Dental’s request for a sign exception to allow a 48 square
foot, 8 foot tall sign at 485 East Alameda Road and that the
Decision be set out in the appropriate Council Decision format.
Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Johnston, Bray and Nye.
Those voting in opposition were Brown and Cooper. The motion to
deny passed.
