MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 23, 1983 PAGE Lt 1 Hermes that the sign located atop the Falcon Center must be removed by 1985 ORDINANCE in accordance with the Ordinance. Mr. Villaume stated he felt the sign is #1711 needed in the center since the Council permitted the Standard Station to (cont.} install canopies over their pumps which blocks the sight line to the build- ing and signs located above the awning on the building would not be visible from the corner. Attorney Villaume was of the opinion that Ordinance does not apply to this particular sign on the Hermes building. Attorney Van de North agreed with Mr. Villaume since the sign on top of the building is not a billboard as stated in Ordinance #1711. He referred to Section 3.2 (50 of Ordinance ~6~ as amended in Ordinance #171, which defines signs and it includes every sign attached to forming a component art of arty building whether it be stationary or moveable.) Billboards are signs which direct attention to a business, commodity, service or entertainment not exclusively related to the premises where such sign is located or to which. it is affixed. Attorney Van de North felt the Council would not want to outlaw all advertis- ing signs whereas the intent is to only do billboards. Mayor Warkentien point- ed out that there are ether ordinances relating to the size of the sign that should be considered. Councilmember Ciernia referred to the action of the Planning Commission on March 21, 1983 concerning the distinction between advertising and business signs. The intent of the Planning Commission was to preclude billboard type signs and it would be difficult to differentiate between advertising type signs and business type billboard signs. After a discussion concerning the intent of the Council in approving Ordinance #171, Attorney Van de North was directed to furnish Mr. Villaume with the pertinent size restrictions and information concerning whether the present sign was grandfathered in which the Ordinance was adopted. Attorney van de North presented proposed Ordinance X198 as requested by Council. After a discussion concerning the definitions and the alarm user's fee, Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Chestovich, that Ordinance #198 be adopted and that publication be authorized. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE #198 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO FIRE AND POLICE PROTECTION: BURGULAR AND HOLDUP ALARM SYSTEMS Counci3.member Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Chestovich, that the spring dump dates be scheduled for May 13, 1983 through May 21, 1983, and that Councilmember Ciernia contact the Fairgrounds to request use of a parking lot as a dump site. Motion carried unanimously. The Maintenance Department Communications System was tabled until the April 6, 1983 meeting. Councilmember Larson was directed to contact the Fire Department regarding the use of their base unit rather than purchasing a separate unit for Maintenance. Attorney Van de North explained that he had prepared a development agree- went which will be adapted to the Good Value Home development. He advised John Peterson, Good Value Homes, that purchase could be made of information and material which had previously been prepared for the proposed American Shelter development. Mr. Peterson agreed to check into the matter to see if any csf the material could be adopted for their use.
