The City once again compromised and allowed the Payless Shoe Store request with the understanding that no further compromises would be allowed, and that should Payless leave the Center, any new tenant would be required to adhere to the limited sign criteria. On or about July 24, 1989, the Round Table Pizza Restaurant submitted plans for their sign. The plans were routinely scrutinized and approved with the condition that their logo be in the allowed colors of blue, black, white, or red. They agreed and the sign was erected with those colors. Some time after the staff signed off on the installation, the Round Table management decided to violate their approved sign and they instructed their sign company to change the colors of the logos to their standard multi -colored shields. On October 3, 1989, Staff issued a correction notice to the owner after repeated verbal attempts to have them conform to the City regulations had failed. Due to the company's failure to respond, Staff issued Citation #10015 on November 13, 1989 to Marvena Sue Meaney (partner). A court date has been set for February 14, 1990 as a pretrial meeti:'v .::.:.;.he City and the representative of the restaurant, Mr. Roy Collier. Analvsis• It is self evident that Round Table Pizza originally knew of the sign criteria and, of their own accord, decided to comply with it. It is also self evident that the Round Table Pizza owners blatantly decided to violate their approval and install their illegal signs. It should be noted that all other tenants have complied with the pre -established sign program, including two businesses which installzi nonapprcved signs and were forced to remove them and install the correct type of signs. The sign program has been successful in keeping the shopping center orderly, neat and free of gaudy signage. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the existing sign program and deny the applicant's request. City Manager Concurrence • 2
