MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 2013 CONSENT AGENDA Blesener pointed out that there is not sufficient support to proceed with a Code amendment, and informed Berg that these bins should be removed within the next two weeks. The City Administrator reported that staff surveyed surrounding committees relative to this issue. Of the five communities surveyed, only White Bear Lake allowed the bins. Maplewood allows them by conditional use permit, but has received no applications. Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -4 -65 — APPROVING THE CONSENT AGENDA WHICH CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING: *APPROVING THE VOUCHERS; *AWARD BID FOR 2013 CRACK FILLING WORK AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT; *APPROVE INCREASE IN WATER METER FEES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT AND ADOPT ORDINANCE AMENDING FEE SCHEDULE; *APPROVE OFF -SITE GAMBLING PERMIT FOR LITTLE CANADA RECREATION ASSOCIATIONS ANNUAL ICE FISHING CONTEST The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Boss. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. AMENDMENTS The City Planner reported that staff has raised three issues for discussion TO ZONING and potential Zoning Code amendments. The Planning Commission has CODE reviewed these issues and indicated a desire to study further. The first issue relates to Comprehensive Sign Plan and the Code requirement for processing a Conditional Use Permit when a multi - tenant building seeks to display more than just a few signs on the property. The Planner indicated that in most cases CUP approval has been based on staff review to ensure that the plan meets Code requirements relative to size, location, and design. Staff's suggestion is that rather than a CUP, an administrative permit can be issued for Comprehensive Sign Plans that meet all ordinance requirements. The Council was agreeable with proceeding in this manner. 12
