Skelly Oil was requesting a height variance to the sign ordinance, but it was laid over as Mr. Hedberg hadn't arrived yet. Mr. David Anderson, Jr., requested a variance to Ordinance No. 21A. The fee was paid. It is less than 2 and 1/2 acres on a dedicated road. Mr. Anderson said he is going to sell his home this spring, but doesn't want to sell all the property, he wants to save one lot. Glenn Hehbein is going to put a road in through to his Shenandoah project along the west side, so a 60 foot strip was left stipulated as Lot A. Inasmuch as it is not a buildable strip, the transaction with Glenn is brought into this. Mr. Anderson said he will deed this land over to Glenn soon. The purchase agreement is already made on land Glenn bought from him behind this average. There was general discussion as to the possibilities available. One was that they could give him a variance en the whole parcel and then he could come back later and get another variance for the 60' strip. Mr. Anderson preferred not to have it done this way. Mr. Kelling moved to approve the variance for Lot A and B with the stipulation that Lot A either be deeded over for road purposes or deeded back to Lot B. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher advised he had further information about the new state sign code. Any permits for signs issued after the date of the state code must be on industrical or commercial property. Mr. Locher had talked to Mr. Hoohmeyer, Naegle Outdoor Advertising, and he feels it is good. They won't lease property unless it is properly zoned and the land owner would be responsible for doing it.. In an ideal situation, no survey being necessary, the cost for rezoning would approach $200.00. If a survey were necessary it could be $1,000 to $1,500 easily. Nothing else affects our code. This would just deal with freeways 35W and E in our village. The effective date of the state sign code was May 22, 1971. Nothing erected prior to that is liable, except if the sign were to blow over or burn down, then it would have to be rezoned. Mr. Locher noted all the regulations aren't out as yet. It was recommended to the Council that the Clerk go ahead and issue renewals on all existing permits. It was also recommended that the Council should have a list of the signs granted since May 22, 1971. Some action will have to be taken to notify these people of the problem.
