MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 27, 2007 The Planner suggested that the request relative to Seasonal Outdoor Displays and Truck Load Sales could be handled under the City's licensing requirements for Temporary Outdoor Sales/Displays. Allan asked if search lights were allowed under the Code. The City Administrator reported that search lights are allowed for a five day time period by temporary sign permit. McGraw expressed concern with the cumulative effect of multiple tenants having temporary signage. Wayne Johansen, Hom Furniture, indicated that they are looking for 30 days cumulative for each category of temporary signage for all tenants. Montour asked for further explanation about the 40% anchor tenant occupancy issue. Johansen stated that the financial people are concerned about the impact of this requirement on the long-term use and flexibility for this property. Blesener noted that the PUD would stay in effect on this property, and pointed out that the requirement is for one major tenant (40%) in the building. Blesener was concerned about the numerous changes that Hom was requesting, pointing out that the City is being asked to change the Code for Hom with few concessions being made on Hom's part.
