MEMO TO: Planning Commission <br />FROM: Engineerinfl/Planning) Technician fir <br />DATE: January 11, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: TEMPORARY SIGN PE1011-P APPLICATION <br />Mr. Dan McFarlane came before the City Council at their regular <br />meeting on January loth to receive permission to place temporary <br />signs (the type of sign is shown on the attached page) at <br />various commercial and industrial locations in the City. City <br />Code, at present, requires that any person who chooses to display <br />a temporary sign receive City Council approval. It was Attorney <br />Meyers' opinion that the City Council could grant a "blanket" <br />permit for this type of sign under specific conditions and when <br />an individual sign request is made, approval could be granted <br />administratively under the parameters of the Council's special <br />permit. Section 39.14, Subdivision 8(5) and 39.14, Subdivision 12, <br />are the chapters of the Code which are relavant to this item. <br />Mr. McFarlane is inquiring about going into business whereby he <br />would contact a business or industry and ask them if they would <br />like to place a sign at their location to advertise their particu- <br />lar business or industry. Ile mentioned that businesses are <br />reluctant to advertise via a temporary sign if they themselves <br />would have to come before the City Council for approval. Mr. <br />McFarlane pruposus Lo ruceive Lhis approval permit for the business <br />or industry. <br />The City Council mentioned that they would still like to require <br />that a permit be obtained for each sign applied for, but they would <br />also like to receive the Planning Commission's input in regards to <br />this. Staff has placed this item on your upcoming agenda for dis- <br />cussion. Should you have any questions regarding this, please <br />contact me. <br />Thank you. <br />FJK/bc <br />Attachment <br />
