Planning Commission Minutes - 1/5/93
A motion was made by Jon Bogart and seconded by Brian Stumpf to approve
the revisions, with item #3 as identified by O'Neill. Also a change in item #3
from authorized structure to conforming building.
Motion carried unanimously.
10. Review of city ordinance regulating banners and consider calling a public
hearing on the ordinance amendment that would allow greater use of
temporary signs/banners.
No one was present from the public to discuss this item.
Steve Grittman explained that for retail business, using an additional sign
doesn't influence most business traffic, and it also takes away from the
business. Additional signage using banners has two problems--it doesn't affect
additional business activity and is an enforcement headache.
Grittman suggested that a compromise would be to promote additional
permanent signage and not additional temporary signs.
The consensus of the Planning Commission members was to leave the current
sign ordinance in effect as is until a petition for an ordinance amendment is
received.
Planning Commission would like the record to reflect that it is disappointed
that there were no commercial owners/property managers in attendance at this
meeting.

preliminary plat at their next regularly scheduled meeting on February 2,
1993.
