PIINUTES Planning Commission November 10, 1988 Rezoning (Cont.) The Planner noted that he will need the authorization of the City Council to conduct a study. Therefore, it could be December or January before he would have the study completed. This was acceptable to the Commission. The Planner indicated that he would contact various property owners in the area to see of some compromise could be worked out through the upgrading of the I -1 performance standards. Text The City Planner submitted a proposed text amendment to the City's sign Amendment ordinance which does not require non - conforming signs to be brought into Sign conformance unless there is at least 50% improvement to the property. Ordinance Under the present ordinance, non - conforming signs must be brought into conformance if any site improvements are made. DeLonais asked why the Fina sign could not remain at the same height, but put on two posts rather than four. The Planner pointed out that that would constitute a new sign, and a variance would be required. The Planner reported that the City has looked at what other City's are doing, and tried to accommodate the Fina request to construct a new sign at the current height of the existing sign. However, based on what other communities are doing, the result was the text amendment before the Commission. DeLonais asked what would happen if the Connco Shoes site had to be rebuilt. The Planner replied that a variance would be necessary to replace the Connco Shoes sign. However, due to the elevation of the property, there would be criteria present to warrant a variance. Schweizer recommended adoption of the proposed text amendment amending the Little Canada Code Chapter 903.110, Signs. as recommended by the City Planner. Motion seconded by Costa. Motion carried 4 - 0. Organized DeLonais felt that organized garbage collection should be required in Garbage residential areas, but felt that commercial areas should be able to Collection contract for their own garbage collection with whomever they wish. Costa felt that competition was needed in order to keep garbage collection rates down. Page 10
