PUBLIC HEARING - SIGN ORDINANCE #84 - 09 015 Mr. John McLean, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board was present to explain the draft ordinance presented to the Council. Mr. McLean explained the reasons for revising the ordinance: 1) present ordin- ance difficult to administer, 2) does not relate to present zoning districts, 3) up date to current signing practices. The Board ob- tained help with the revision from Naegle Sign Company, a model ordin- ance from the sign industry and information from the State. Mr. McLean said that he, Mr. Cody and Mr. Kluegel met several times to work on this draft and the P & Z Board also spend considerable time on it. They felt it is their best effort although it is not perfect. It is a document that can easier be administered by the zoning official. Mayor Benson opened the Public Hearing at 8:40 P.M. There were no comments from the audience. Mayor Benson asked what happens to signs already posted which do not conform to the new ordinance. Mr. McLean said they would be "grandfathered ". Mr. Kluegel said the recommenda- tion of the P & Z Board was to forward to Council for the Public Hearing. He noted portable signs were now addressed in this ordinance. Mr. Schumacher asked if there is still an annual fee in this ordinance. Mr. McLean said yes, this is to insure inspection of the signs annually. Mr. Marier moved to close the Public Hearing at 8:43 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Marier said the P & Z Board should be commended for their work on this Ordinance. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance #84 -09. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried.
