5. A walkway is to be provided in the public right-of- <br />way on 39th Avenue N.E. a sufficient distance behind the <br />curb line to allow for snow storage. The sidewalk is <br />to extend a reasonable distance south on the Silver <br />Lake Road right-of-way as an aid to bus patrons. <br />6. There shall be a buffer between the office property <br />and the residential area to the east in conformance <br />with Section 10, Subd. 12 of the zoning ordinance. <br />7. Final building plans are to be reviewed by City Staff <br />for compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances, <br />and laws. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Members of the Board then restated their opposition to the size <br />and free-standing nature of the approved sign and the following <br />motion was made: <br />Motion by Hiebel, seconded by Johnson to advise the Council that <br />the Planning Board feels the proposed approved sign is far in ex- <br />cess of present and past sign ordinance regulations and could <br />cause legal problems with previously denied free-standing signs. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Cowan felt that the City had no right to put up the illegal free- <br />standing signs at the City Hall. Fornell said he thought the signs <br />are permissible. (Section 400:20, subd. 3 allows such pedestrian <br />directional signs.) <br />Members then discussed the expenditure of Community Development <br />funds. Hiebel indicated a preference for code enforcement in the <br />Kenzie Terrace area. Marks indicated an interest in a band shell <br />but Fornell said it would probably be inelligible because it was <br />sepctator oriented. <br />NOTE: Rick Rymarchick phoned staff after the meeting and indicated <br />a preference for: (1) a comprehensive planning study, evaluating <br />past planning practices and providing for future direction (akin to <br />the Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements), (2) a sewer inflow/ <br />infiltration study, (3) check valve installation in sanitary sewers <br />and (4) a low income home improvement loan program. <br />All Planning Board members indicated a desire to be reappointed. <br />Fornell was commended on the memo he wrote on the T.C.F. proposal; <br />the Board wished it inserted in the minutes. <br />Cowan is to represent the Planning Board at the next Council meeting. <br />
