Mounds View City Council May 24, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 8 City. 1 2 Council Member Gunn supported the signs and suggested they be placed in key locations along 3 County Road 10 and that they be removed the same afternoon as the farmer’s market. 4 5 Council Member Mueller was in favor of the signs and agreed to locate them along County Road 6 10. 7 8 Council Member Stigney questioned the language within the Resolution regarding the temporary 9 signs. He supported it as written and that no temporary signs be allowed throughout the City. 10 11 Council Member Hull felt the Resolution could be reworded to allow for the temporary signs to 12 be located in the City on Saturdays. 13 14 Mayor Flaherty supported the temporary signs being placed in the City during the hours of 15 operation of the farmer’s market. 16 17 Clerk-Administrator Ericson stated the code enforcement of this issue could be difficult. He 18 suggested the Council not allow additional signs on the corridor as it may bring about additional 19 code enforcement concerns. 20 21 Mayor Flaherty thanked staff for the information and stated he would now not support the 22 temporary signs. 23 24 Planning Associate Heller suggested the “6 small sign” language be stricken from the Resolution. 25 26 Ms. Basumatary stated she didn’t see how the signs would impact the corridor if she were 27 responsible for the placement and removal of the signs. She requested the Council consider 28 allowing the temporary signs to assist in getting the word out on the new farmer’s market. 29 30 Clerk-Administrator Ericson recommended the language regarding the two large signs read that 31 the signs “only be allowed on the day of the market”. The Council supported this 32 recommendation. 33 34 Community Development Director Roberts suggested language be added stating: “All signs shall 35 be removed after each sales day”. Although a bit redundant, it would provide further 36 clarification. The Council supported this recommendation. 37 38 Mayor Flaherty questioned if the City should limit the number of vendors within the Resolution. 39 Council Member Gunn felt this was not a concern as the theater parking lot was extremely large 40 and available on Saturday mornings. Council Member Mueller agreed. Planning Associate 41 Heller noted the theater had 700 parking stalls. 42 43 Council Member Stigney suggested the two temporary signs be limited to 32 square feet to assure 44 that the signs do not continue to increase in size. 45
