MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 13, 2005 use of pylon sign reader boards would be appropriate for this advertising. This business owner had indicated that he supported whatever change was necessary to help clean up signage. He pointed out that banners are usually obtained by businesses from distributors at no cost. The banner typically has a product logo on it in addition to whatever message is being displayed. Allan noted that of the four liquor businesses in Little Canada that would be advertising for team sponsorship, three have pylon signs with reader boards. The only one that does not is Gordies', and Allan noted that this business has three pylon signs. Allan suggested that the face of one of these signs be changed to a reader board. LaValle indicated that the cost of constructing a new pylon sign at Gordies' would be substantial. Allan again suggested that the face of one of the pylons be changed to a reader board, and suggested that would be less expensive Chan constructing a totally new pylon. Keis agreed, and stated that he did not want to have an ordinance that established special provisions for one class of business. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2005-4-80 -CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2005 AT 7:30 P.M. TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE ZONING CODE RELATIVE TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF ALL BANNER SIGNS AS TEMPORARY SIGNS AS RECOMMENDED BY CITY STAFF The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Allan. Ayes (3) Blesener, Allan, Keis. Nays (1) LaValle. Resolution declared adopted. RAMSEY The City Administrator reviewed his report dated March 29, 2005 COUNTY recommending Little Canada's participation in the Ramsey County GIS GIS USERS Users Group. The Administrator reported Chat this is a central site that GROUP has been developed using county data for property records, aerial surveys, and other data. The site has been made available to all local governments within Che County. This system would replace the IRIS system that the City currently subscribes to. The Administrator noted that the GIS system is more functional than IRIS for items such as aerial parcel maps, generation of mailing lists for public hearings, and mapping overlays. A future benefit of this system will be the inclusion of two-foot contour aerial surveys within the database. Cost to participate includes aone-time $500 fee as well as a $938 annual fee.
