b. Review and possible action on a request for wall signs for Callister’s Christmas located at 19355 W. Bluemound
Road (Master Z’s). Bluemound W. 19355 (owner), Rob Kahler (applicant).
Planner Leto gave an overview of the proposal in accordance with the staff report. The applicant clarified that customers
will come into the main entrance for both stores and the other two doors are emergency exits. He also noted that the
property owner may lease the property at 19233 W. Bluemound Road but it is currently for sale. The applicant noted
that they would be willing to cover the Master Z’s sign at the prior location, given that no businesses are operating from
that property anymore. The Committee discussed covering the signs versus removing the panels from the pylon signs.
The applicant clarified that the supplementary blue sign was left over from the original Laacke and Joy business that
they just left up. The Committee and applicant discussed the installation of the Master Z sign and whether it was
appropriate to have the applicant remove the sign entirely.
Motion by Mr. Charlier to approve the relocation of the wall signs for Callister’s Christmas located to 19355 W.
Bluemound Road as presented, subject to covering the Master Z sign on the monument sign at 19233 W. Bluemound
Road, and removing or covering the blue plastic supplementary sign.
