Mr. White showed a layout of the bank and drive -up lanes and PLANNING COMMISSION 30 JULY 1996 PAGE 5 parking spaces. Mr. Crow asked about the height waiver. Mr. Weith said they are asking for a waiver to 45 ft. for the bank. They have provided additional setbacks and additional open space. Mr. Dinklage asked why the additional height is needed. Mr. Lindberg said they are putting a "lighthouse" on top of the building as kind of a gateway concept. Mr. Dinklage asked if there can be language to require the applicant to build the structure as shown in the plan. Mr. Burgess said there can. Mr. White said they have one other request. They are proposing to light the flagpoles so the flag can be flown 24 hours. These will be "up -facing" lights, but they will be lit so the light is screened to point only at the flags. Mr. Weith gave members information regarding "sky glow" from the lighting manual. Mr. Lindberg said there would be one light for 3 flags for a total of 70 watts. Members had no problem with this. Members also agreed to add Hannaford Bros. as a co -applicant.
