FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Idaho Independent Banlc submitted for approval, to the Planning and
Zoning Administrator, a sign as depicted in Sketch #7250, Revision 2/18/99, File:
Steve C:\JOBS\IDAHOIND.PLT.
2. The Planning and Zoning Administrator's office denied the Electronic
Message Center portion of the proposed sign upon the basis that it violated the
provision of § 11-2-415 C paragraph 7 of the Municipal Code, which prohibits signs
in all districts, except as otherwise provided by ordinance with "flashing lights or
strobe lights of any color", as evidenced in the fax transmission to Debbie Anderson,
from Brad Hawkins-Clarlc dated 8-12-99.
3. The Idaho Independent Banlc, through its representative, Idaho Electric
Signs, timely filed an appeal of the Administrator's determination and decision for
hearing before the City Council.
4. The system, which will be used for the Electronic Message Center, is a
LED (Light Emitting Diodes System), which emit very little light, and will be a
amber colored system with equivalent light from the LED of approximate 5 watt
incandescent system, and will not use the "flash" message system display.
5. Subject to the conditions of Finding no. 4, herein, the proposed
Electronic Message Center is not a "flashing lights or strobe lights" prohibited sign,
