This is a request to rezone from Ag- Residential to Commercial - Limited Business. Mr. Locher read the affadavits of publication and mailing list. Mr. Marier reported that the Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this rezoning with stipulations. No storage of articles outside, proper off - street parking and business to be started within one year. If not, zoning will revert to the original zoning. Mr. Karth felt these stipulations presented no problems. The only questions he had was concerning the signs. He had finally reached someone at the State who could answer his questions. The information he had received was that as long as the sign is on private property and advertises the business located there, the control reverts to the local municipalities. These signs would have to be approved by the local governing body. Mr. Karth assured the Council that the owner will follow all codes of this City. Mr. Jaworski asked if there is to be any new construction and Mr.Karth said, No. The only thing is the existing buildings will be remodeled and upgraded.
