CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 Ms. Wyland noted that the situation is unique in that the Church does not front on a major roadway as other churches in the area do. Council Member Neal asked if the sign would be similar to a freeway billboard. Ms. Wyland said the sign would not be lighted and the purpose is to give direction and not be an an advertisement. Council Member Kuether commented that the sign would blend in with other big signs in the area. Ms. Wyland noted that the Planning and Zoning Board discussed approving a temporary variance. However a variance should never be issued on a temporary basis. Mr. Schumacher suggested that the City Council ask the Planning and Zoning Board to review the Sign Ordinance since it has been a number or years since it was adopted and several portions may be out of date. Council Member Kuether moved to approve a variance as submitted with the condition that proper sign permits be obtained and the sign be located 10 feet from the property line and not exceed 14 feet in height. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. The Planning and Zoning Board was asked to review the Sign Ordinance and give special attention to the size and height restrictions. Consideration of a Minor Subdivision Request, Boe Ornamental, 484 Lilac Street - This is a request for re -arrangement of lot lines for the property located at 484 and 502 Lilac Street. The property is zoned General Industrial (GI) and contains Boe Ornamental on Lot 1 and Lino Blacktop on Lot 2. Lino Blacktop also owns Lot 3 and intends to split Lot 3 in half and sell the westerly Parcel A to Boe Ornamental. Boe Ornamental would then like to expand their existing storage yard to the south onto Parcel A. They are also considering a future expansion project that could include the vacated Industrial Boulevard and construction of a new building to the west. Parcel B will be added to the Lino Blacktop parcel. Economic Development Director, Brian Wessel has been working with the applicant on this request and their proposed expansion and recommends approval of the minor subdivision. The Zoning Ordinance currently provides that lots within the GI Zoning District contain a minimum of one (1) acre in lot area. The proposed lots will exceed that requirement by approximately 22,000 square feet. The proposed lots also meet the minimum lot width requirement of 100 feet. PAGE 7
