Each plot has more than the required frontage land and meets all other variance requirements. Metropolitan Council building regulations do not apply. Mr. Gourley asked if the Board could vote on this recommendation since Mr. Nadeau should obstain from voting leaving only two members present to vote. The Board decided to vote and ask Mr. Locher about the Legatity of the procedure at the next Council meeting .(1 Mr. McLean requested that all business conducted at a Planning and Zoning Board meeting be put on the agenda at least 10 days prior to the meeting. He also request- ed that all members should have copies of the applications for variances at least 10 days prior to the meeting Mr. Hill said that copies of applications for variances should be sent to each Board member as they are received in the office. This proced- ure would allow each member time to study the application. Mr. Hallblade did not appear before the Board. Old Business: Mr. Gourley asked Mr. Houle and Mr. Nadeau if they looked over the sign ordinance. Mr. Nadeau said he needed more time to go',over this ordinance. Mr. McLean said he had looked over some other cities sign ordinances and said our ordinance could be shortened and revamped. He said the State had once said any community could send their sign ordinance to the State and have it certified. Our ordinance was sent to the State for certification but no sign for any comm- unity was ever certified. Mr. Hill requested that the Clerk send him a copy of Ordinance #51 in the mail. Mr. Hill said the ordinance could be shortened and clarified. Each portion of the ordinance should be clarified so that when an application for a permit is received the application could state to which section of the ordinance the app- lication applies. The ordinance can be revised in what ever way the Planning and Zoning Board decides. The Clerk was asked to obtain copies of the White Bear Lake, Maplewood amd Fridley sign ordinances. She was also asked to send copies of these ordinances to Mr. Houle. Mr. Houle, Mr. Nadthau and Mr. McLean are working on the sign ordinance. Mr. Gourley and Mr. Hill are working on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mr. Shearen and Mr. Karth are working on the zoning ordinance.
