MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 28, 1986 <br />#1000 & 1009 WEAR continued <br />Mayor Butler stated that she reviewed this application <br />from across the street and from that viewpoint felt that <br />because of the amount of signs and visual clutter on <br />that stretch of road was not an ideal area for another <br />sign. Mayor Butler suggested that Mr. Wear wait until <br />the Highway 12 Corridor study is completed <br />(approximately in July) in order to establish the <br />guidelines for future signage along the corridor. <br />Mr. Wear stated that he has no problem waiting but his <br />tenants are anxious to obtain signage. <br />G.L. Roulette, a tenant of the building, felt that the <br />delay would hurt their new business and that the <br />temporary signs were unattractive. <br />Councilmember Adams stated that in order to avoid future <br />problems the moratorium is appropriate. <br />Councilmember Grabek stated that by putting in another <br />sign would be adding to the clutter and is in favor of <br />the moratorium. <br />r <br />Councilmember Frahm stated that he has no problem with <br />the sign but is not in favor of lifting the moratorium. <br />Councilmember Hammerel expressed, his understanding for <br />the need of signage for a new business and felt <br />undecided about a variance to the moratorium. <br />Mr. Wear requested that the Council work with him in <br />allowing him to have a decent temporary sign for two <br />months. He noted that because of the design of the <br />building two signs are needed. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Adams, seconded by <br />Councilmember Frahm, to table this matter at this time. <br />Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />ENGINEER'S REPORT :City Engineer Cook was not present and had no report. <br />MAYOR'S REPORT: <br />Mayor Butler reported that she will be arrested on May <br />14, 1986 at 9:00 a.m. in participation of the Hennepin <br />County Cancer Society "Jail & Bail" fund raising drive. <br />CABLE TV REPORT* <br />LAKE MINNETONKA COMMUNITY NEWS PROGRAM <br />It was moved by Councilmember Adams, seconded by <br />Councilmember Hammerel, to accept the report on Lake <br />Minnetonka Cable Commission's "Lake Minnetonka News ". <br />Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />4 <br />
