MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 13, 2005 <br />use of pylon sign reader boards would be appropriate for this advertising. <br />This business owner had indicated that he supported whatever change was <br />necessary Co help clean up signage. He pointed out that banners are <br />usually obtained by businesses from distributors at no cost. The banner <br />typically has a product logo on it in addition to whatever message is being <br />displayed. <br />Allan noted that of the four liquor businesses in Little Canada that would <br />be advertising for team sponsorship, three have pylon signs with reader <br />boards. The only one that does not is Gordies', and Allan noted that this <br />business has three pylon signs. Allan suggested that the face of one of <br />these signs be changed to a reader board. <br />LaValle indicated that the cost of constructing a new pylon sign at <br />Gordies' would be substantial. Allan again suggested that the face of one <br />of the pylons be changed to a reader board, and suggested that would be <br />less expensive than constructing a totally new pylon. <br />Keis agreed, and stated that he did not want to have an ordinance that <br />established special provisions for one class of business. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2005-4-80 -CALLING FOR A PUBLIC <br />HEARING TOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2005 AT 7:30 P.M. TO <br />CONSIDER AMENDING THE ZONING CODE RELATIVE TO THE <br />CLASSIFICATION OF ALL BANNER SIGNS AS TEMPORARY <br />SIGNS AS RECOMMENDED BY CITY STAFF <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Allan. <br />Ayes (3) Blesener, Allan, Keis. <br />Nays (1) LaValle. Resolution declared adopted. <br />RAMSEY The City Administrator reviewed his report dated March 29, 2005 <br />COUNTY recommending Little Canada's participation in the Ramsey County GIS <br />GIS USERS Users Group. The Administrator reported that this is a central site that <br />GROUP has been developed using county data for property records, aerial surveys, <br /> and other data. The site has been made available to all local governments <br /> within the County. This system would replace the IRIS system that the <br /> City currently subscribes to. The Administrator noted that the GIS system <br /> is more functional than IRIS for items such as aerial parcel maps, <br /> generation of mailing lists for public hearings, and mapping overlays. A <br /> future benefit of this system will be the inclusion of two-Foot contour <br /> aerial surveys within the database. Cost to participate includes none-time <br /> $500 fee as well as a $938 annual fee. <br />4 <br />
