PUBLIC INFORMATIONALANOUIRIES: <br />A. Public Inquiries <br />Bob and Jean Novak, owners of Lake Elmo Oil since 1956, explained that CITGO has bought out Union <br />76. In order to get funding, Lake Elmo Oil has to comply with CITGO's specifications. When their sign <br />installer submitted an application for a sign permit, they were denied. The proposed sign was not allowed <br />according to the revised sign ordinance. Lake Elmo Oil was not aware the sign ordinance was revised. This <br />was done without input from business owners or residents. The sign request is not for anything greater than <br />what already exists now. It is their understanding there is no variance procedure to setbacks, size and <br />height of signs. Administrator Kueffner pointed out that CITGO has to comply with Lake Elmo's code and <br />not the other way around. <br />The Council had given direction to staff to hold a public meeting to make the business owners and residents <br />aware of the revised sign ordinance. The Village Commission is organized to look at such applications. <br />Planner Terwedo indicated the Village Commission scheduled a meeting for November 12,T and the sign <br />ordinance could be added to the agenda. <br />M/S/P Conlin/Dunn — to direct the staff to call a joint workshop with the, City Council, Planning <br />Commission, Village Commission, interested business owners and residents, on November 12, 1997, 6 <br />p.m., to review the existing sign ordinance and the planner provide visual handouts in advance.
