1 that decision somewhat, perceiving it might have been a "knee jerk" • 2 reaction to what had happened related to the Mickey D' s and other 3 recent signage problems in the same area. She said she just wanted the 4 other Councilmembers to know she might be ready to change her vote on 5 the issue whenever she could legally do so. Councilmember Makowske 6 indicated her change of mind was predicated on the fact that Dairy 7 Queen had been such an asset to that shopping center over the many 8 years they had been in business there. She also thought the Council 9 should probably have given more weight to the fact that this business 10 was somewhat unique in that it was located with traffic flows from at 11 least three different directions. 12 Enrooth said he was pretty certain the issue would be raised again if 13 the store owner didn' t respond to citations to take the sign down. He 14 told Councilmember Makowske he would be very surprised if the City 15 didn' t get some reverse reaction like a lawsuit to that citation, 16 which might force the Council to take another look at their first 17 decision. 18 Ranallo reiterated his concerns that if the City backed down on this 19 signage, it would be almost impossible to get conformity `with the City 20 sign ordinance from now on. 21 In a related matter, Mr. Childs reported the Planning Commission would 22 be considering at their next meeting an application from the 23 Eberhardt Company to put up a 16 foot by 11 foot sign on the outside 24 wall of the vacated Brown Photo store, which would list all the • 25 businesses in the shopping center. He also pointed out that Mickey D' s 26 is already out of business so the Council may again be forced to deal 27 with signage for that business also. 28 ADJOURNMENT 29 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to adjourn the meeting at 9 : 30 30 P.M. 31 Motion carried unanimously. 32 Respectfully submitted, 33 Helen Crowe, Secretary 34 35 Mayor 36 ATTEST: 37 City Clerk 14
