LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 PAGE 3 A "White Wolf" sign is existing and was installed without the necessary permit and the sign is believed to be over our maximum allowed square footage of 200 sq.ft. per sign. White Wolf has been notified of the violation. Steve, from White Wolf, stated he called the City Office and was told the 3.9 ft. high sign he proposed was acceptable and he did not need a permit. Naegle Signs installed his sign. Administrator Morrison stated Naegle Signs has installed signs in the City before and they know our sign ordinance requires a permit. Steve, owner of White Wolf, stated he has plans for combining both businesses, North Country and White Wolf, and move it into the D.C. Sales Building. The Building Official warned him to check with the City before he decides to add a sign for North Country. Steve DeLapp, Planning Commission Chairman, read the minutes when D.C. Sales requested their building addition, stated their intent of this addition was to be used as a warehouse for their products. The owner has occupied the building for several years along with two tenants, White Wolf Ski Shop and BRS, Inc. The proposed building addition will meet the expansion needs of D.C. Sales and the White Wolf Company. DeLapp explained that the addition of tenants and five store fronts is totally outside of their application that was before the Planning Commission and City Council. - A representative from D.C. Sales was not present therefore, the Council suggested tabling this public hearing until D.C. Sales could be present. D.C. Sales will be notified of the public hearing. M/S/P Moe/Armstrong - to table the public hearing, until the October 4th Council meeting, for a variance to the number of signs fot D.C. Sales, 9240 Hudson Blvd. (Motion carried 4-0). 2. Charles Taylor, 4677 Birchbar.k Tr. Shoreland Permit & Setback Variance from High Water Mark Mayor Christ called the public hearing to order at 8:20 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Charles Taylor, 4677 Birchbark Trail, is requesting a shor.eland permit and variance from the setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark. The purpose of this request is to allow the applicant to construct an 18' x 26' addition to the South of the existing structure which is not towards the lake. The City Engineer and DNR have reviewed this application. Since the addition does not increase the existing non-conformancy, they would recommend that a variance and shoreland permit be granted. There was no one to speak for or against the application. Mayor Christ closed the public hearing at 8:23 p.m.
