Commissioner Lee

stated the backup has a letter stating there is a sign already up. And asked for clarification that the signs were up prior to their approval.

Mrs. Medici

stated yes they did that is why they are here. Each application does have a sign application and TUP application that were stopped because it was discovered they put the signs up before the CUP.

Commissioner Lee

asked if there are code compliance cases open on them as well.

Mrs. Medici

stated yes approval of these will resolve those code cases.

Commissioner Tyler

asked for clarification that they are not looking to install additional signs just approval of the ones that are already up.

Mrs. Medici

stated that is correct.

Commissioner Blackstock

asked if there is a fine or penalty for doing so.

Mr. Osborne

stated no there is no fine if they apply for the permits required, and they are approved.

Commissioner Carbone

asked if the setbacks aren’t approved what happens.

Commissioner Lee

stated they would have to remove the sign.

Mr. Osborne

stated that is correct. They can appeal the decision but if denied they would have to be removed to resolve the matter. Page 2 of 5

Commissioner Carbone

stated it feels funny that we allow bad behavior and there not be a fine.

Commissioner Curtis

asked for clarification on why the signs won’t have lighting.

Mr. Osborne

stated code allows them to be lighted but the applicant doesn’t propose them to be lighted. Barry Goff stated their intention wasn’t to buck the system, they started the permit process before the signs were put up but the company looking to make money put them up before the process was complete. They don’t light the signs because the sales office is only open during daylight hours so there is no need to have lighting. These are only temporary signs and once the development sells out the signs will be taken down.

Commissioner Tyler

asked staff if someone else wants to come put a sign up in the same place they have to come back for an additional CUP, correct.

Commissioner Lee

asked the applicant if they have read, understood and agree to the conditions of approval.

Mr. Goff

stated yes, he agrees to them.

Mr. Goff

stated it has been 10 years since he has put up signs in Nye County but forgot the process.

Commissioner Carbone

asked the applicant how long it took him to get through he permit process after he started it.

Mr. Goff

stated he put in for the TUP and Sign permit because that is what he did for the onsite sign figuring it was the same process and wasn’t aware of the CUP and WV, so that was after the fact.

Mrs. Medici

reviewed her staff report and stated staff is recommending approval of the applications.

Mr. Goff

stated all three signs on the agenda are the same. They applied for all the sign permits before installing and now they are doing the waiver and CUP.

Commissioner Lee

stated this one is going back further on the intersection of Manse and 160.

Mr. Goff

stated this one is going on the curve if you are heading South on Manse.

Mr. Osborne

asked for clarification from Mr. Goff. The justification letter states one sign will be 8 x 12 and the others will be 8 x 8.

Mr. Goff

stated that is what Vicky Hafen would accept. The 8 x 12 is off 160 and the 8 x 8’s are on Manse and Grainmill.

Commissioner Lee

asked the applicant if they have read, understood and agree to the conditions of approval.

Mrs. Medici

reviewed her staff report and stated staff is recommending approval of the applications.

Commissioner Lee

asked the applicant if they had anything to add.

Mr. Goff

shook his head no. Page 4 of 5
