Mounds View City Council May 24, 2010 Regular Meeting Page g City. Council Member Gunn supported the signs and suggested they be placed in key locations along County Road 10 and that they be removed the same afternoon as the farmer's market. Council Member Mueller was in favor of the signs and agreed to locate them along Counry Road 10. Council Member Stigney questioned the language within the Resolution regarding the temporary signs. He supported it as written and that no temporary signs be allowed throughout the City. Council Member Hull felt the Resolution could be reworded to allow for the temporary signs to be located in the City on Saturdays. Mayor Flaherty supported the temporary signs being placed in the City during the hours of operation of the farmer's market. Clerk-Administrator Ericson stated the code enforcement of this issue could be difficult. He suggested the Council not allow additional signs on the corridor as it may bring about additional code enforcement concerns. • Mayor Flaherty thanked staff for the information and stated he would now not support the • temporary signs. Planning Associate Heller suggested the "6 small sign" language be stricken from the Resolution. Ms. Basumatary stated she didn't see how the signs would impact the corridor if she were responsible for the placement and removal of the signs. She requested the Council consider allowing the temporary signs to assist in getting the word out on the new farmer's market. Clerk-Administrator Ericson recommended the language regarding the two large signs read that the signs "only be allowed on the day of the market". The Council supported this recommendation. Community Development Director Roberts suggested language be added stating: "All signs shall be removed after each sales day". Although a bit redundant, it would provide further clarification. The Council supported this recommendation. Mayor Flaherty questioned if the City should limit the number of vendors within the Resolution. Council Member Gunn felt this was not a concern as the theater parking lot was extremely large and available on Saturday mornings. Council Member Mueller agreed. Planning Associate Heller noted the theater had 700 parking stalls. Council Member Stigney suggested the two temporary signs be limited to 32 square feet to assure • that the signs do not continue to increase in size.
