MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 27, 2007 Blesener asked the size of the temporary signage that Hom uses on its Roseville store. Johansen indicated that they have never used temporary signage at the Roseville location. Johansen pointed out that Hom will have to live with whatever terms are written into the PUD Agreement, and he was trying to negotiate terms for the long-term use of the property by both Hom as well as its tenants. Blesener was concerned that with 8 tenants, there would be temporary signage up all year round. Johansen indicated that they are planning to have 6 tenants at the maximum. The City Administrator pointed out that the Code allows temporary signage for a maximum of 120 days per year. He also noted that temporary signs cannot exceed 32 square feet in size, with banners at a 36 square foot maximum, and lighter-than-air balloons at 35 square feet. Allan indicated that she was not interested in changing the City's sign ordinance. Montour agreed pointing out the struggle that the Council has had with banners and temporary signs. Johansen again pointed out the life-long impact that the PUD Agreement will have on the property. Blesener indicated that he is in support of the rezoning to PUD, a 35% anchor tenant minimum, allowing interim signage for a period of one year as proposed by Hom Furniture. Blesener also stated that he supported compliance with the City's current code requirements for temporary signage including search lights, tent and truck load sales, and seasonal outdoor displays. It was indicated that the one year period for interim signage would begin September 1, 2007. The City Planner stated that a final site plan will be required to identify the size and location of the outdoor display area. McGraw noted that Hom's application materials indicate that refreshments or a coffee cart will be utilized. Johansen indicated that they would have a small sandwich/cookie/coffee shop inside the Hom store. The City Clerk indicated that the property owner has requested that should the rezoning be approved, publication of the rezoning ordinance not occur until the Hom Furniture entity closes on the property. There was no one else present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Allan, seconded by McGraw, the public hearing was closed.
