Planning & Zoning Board <br />May 11, 2005 <br />Page 12 <br />Mr. Hyden noted many cities simply banned pennants. <br />Chair Rafferty asked for recommendations. He indicated he was not in favor of pennants. <br />Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to prohibit pennants altogether and was supported by Chair <br />Rafferty. Motion carried 4 -3. (Root, Pogalz, and Tralle opposed). <br />Mr. Smyser asked the Board what they wanted to do with respect to miscellaneous <br />signage on commercial businesses. He stated staff recommended prohibiting <br />miscellaneous signed altogether. <br />Mr. Laden agreed these types of signs should be prohibited on commercial businesses. <br />Mr. Nelson asked if this would include the "A" type frame signs. Mr. Smyser replied this <br />would not include those types of signage and they would address those types of signs at a <br />later date. <br />Mr. Laden noted they needed to narrow down the wording on "other non - permanent <br />signs ". Mr. Smyser stated he would work on that wording. <br />Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to prohibit all signage on pylon signs, temporary stakes, and <br />posts and was supported by Mr. Root. <br />Mr. Pogalz stated he believed if they banned pennants then these other small signs also <br />needed to be banned. <br />Mr. Laden noted the distinction in his mind was that pennants did not "speak" because <br />they had no words. He noted his only concern what where they were going with what <br />they were made of because he believed some metal signs, or weather resistant signs could <br />be allowed. <br />Mr. Tralle withdrew his motion and Mr. Root withdrew his second. <br />Mr. Laden made a MOTION to direct staff to write up an ordinance banning these types <br />of signs with more clarification as to definitions and was supported by Mr. Root. Motion <br />carried 6 -0. <br />Mr. Smyser stated at the next meeting they would be discussing real estate and <br />development signs. <br />C.
