The mam focus of this Ordinance <br />Amendment is to discourage the use of the yellow, bread-board <br />type signs throughout the business areas. It is the consensus of <br />Staff and Planning Commission that these signs are aesthetically <br />undesirable." <br />Jabbour commented that John O'Sullivan had been present at <br />tne Planning Commission meeting when the Public Hearing on this <br />matter was held. <br />Bernnardson asked Mabusth if Staff had notified the <br />Merchants Association of the particular language p-oposed for the <br />Ordinance Amendment. <br />Mabusth replied, "I believe John O'Sullivan understood what <br />was being proposed. The Merchants Association provided me with <br />some final input. As I understand it, the amendment met with <br />their approval. They were mainly concerned about the existing <br />Ordinance which allowed only one temporary sign every 24 months. <br />There was one business owner on Wayzata Boulevard who did not <br />approve of the aspect of the four signs per year applying to all <br />of the tenants within one building. To that property owner, 1 <br />would recommend a permanent sign, that would provide flexibility <br />for advertising." <br />Jabbour asked Mabusth in what capacity John O'Sullivan was <br />present at the Planning Commission metcing. <br />Mabusth stated that he was present on his own behalf for an <br />application pertaining to an addition to his service station, but <br />then stayed for the Temporary Sign Public Hearing and represented <br />the Navarre business owners.She asked Council if they would <br />prefer to have the area merchants review the proposed amendment <br />prior to Council action. <br />It was moved by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Goetten, to <br />table this item until the Orono business owners have reviewed the <br />proposed amendment. All voted aye. Motion passed. <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT: <br />(#8)HARDCOVER REVIEW OF FINDINGS <br />Mabusth advised that at the June 17, 1991 Planning <br />Commission meeting, Charlie Kelley raised the question of whether <br />Council intended to allow the use of non-woven fabric v/ithin the <br />0-75 foot setback area, and if so, to what degree. <br />Goetten stated that she had been of the understanding that <br />when Council took action approving the use of non-woven fabric. <br />-6 -
