MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 28, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />11. #15-3775 CITY OF ORONO, TEXT AMENDMENT REGARDING TEMPORARY SIGNS <br />Ordinance No. 159 (continued) <br />Cornick stated on Page 2 of the ordinance, Letter D, it says, "The City may, without notice, remove any <br />temporary sign erected in violation of this section or any other federal, state, or local law or ordinance. <br />Any signs not claimed within 15 days after removal may be destroyed by the City." Cornick asked if <br />there is a state statute that says the City has to keep it a longer time. <br />Mattick asked if Council Member Cornick is thinking about abandoned property. <br />Cornick indicated he is. <br />Mattick stated he does not know the answer to that question and that he thought the 15 days was specific <br />to found property. Mattick stated this relates to signs placed within the City's right-of-way. <br />Cornick stated the City does not want to supersede state statute and that it is worth looking into. <br />Barnhart stated he switched it to 15 days due to storage issues but that he could leave it at 30 days. <br />Printup noted a question was raised a couple of weeks ago regarding kids' sports signs. Printup asked if <br />that is something that will be getting picked up or whether that falls into a different category. <br />Barnhart stated Staff does its best with limited resources on enforcement and that Staff cannot catch all <br />the signs. <br />McMillan stated those type of signs are typically in residential areas and could probably be addressed at a <br />future time. <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 158, Third Series, an Ordinance <br />Amending the Orono Municipal Code by Amending Section 78-1466 Regarding Signs subject to <br />Staff making the changes discussed tonight. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR'S REPORT, CONTINUED <br />Barnhart noted he attended the American Planning Association of Minnesota conference last week and he <br />is working on a synopsis of some of the sessions he attended. Barnhart stated he hopes to provide that in <br />the Council's packet in the near future. <br />Barnhart stated he also hopes to be able to visit the local businesses in the very near future. <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br />*12. LONG LAKE'S WATERTOWN ROAD FEASIBILITY REPORT <br />Levang moved, Cornick seconded, to accept the Watertown Road Feasibility Study. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Page 20 of 27 <br />
