-4- proposal which is set to be held during the Council' s October 23 meeting is "essentially a technical procedure since the City cannot legally deny the permit. " However, the Board indicated its concern with the existing barber pole in front of the barber shop in the following: Motion by Mr. Bowerman and seconded by Mr. Bjorklund to request the Council take under advisement during its consideration of Mr. Swan's remodeling plans for the beauty/barber shop that the existing signage for the barber shop is non-conforming to the City Sign Ordinance and, at least in one instance, constitutes a traffic hazard and this con- dition should be addressed before the building permit for the re- modeling is issued. Motion carried unanimously. Gordon Hedlund then presented the plans for the Accurate Instant Print operation which he proposes to establish in the existing residence at 3909 Silver Lake Road under the Hedlund PUD. He addressed the submission requirements for the proposal in his letter of October 8, and told the Board nine parking spaces, of whatever size is required, will be provided for the facility. An 18-inch retaining wall of creosote logs will be installed on the east side of the parking lot and Mr. Hedlund felt the existing trees on the site and neighboring lots should provide ample screening. The existing garage will be removed when it is no longer needed to store the building materials • for the remodeling which Mr. Hedlund will do himself. The developer said he will require good identification of the operation and would like a monument-type sign similar to his neighbor, the Cadwallader Realty Company. Mr. Fornell told the Board this particular type of print shop is not clearly defined in the City Zoning Ordinance and an amendment to the ordinance will probably be required to establish whether it is a "B" service office, or "C" commercial, use. The PUD specifies only a "B" use for this property and the City cannot issue a re- modeling permit to Mr. Hedlund until the zoning classification of the proposed use is established. The Board agreed any action on the submission data for the proposal would not be relevant until the question is clarified. Since Mr. Hedlund could not give a clear definition of the operation himself, Mr . Enrooth, who has some ex- pertise in this field, agreed to meet with his consultant to estab- lish such a definition for consideration as to its proper zoning. It is estimated a final determination can probably not be expected much before December , since an ordinance amendment requires readings before the Council and publication following its adoption. The plans for a free-standing sign for the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center, which is intended to identify the Saliterman shopping area, were considered next. Mr . Berg' s October 12 memo addressed the legal ramifications of denying the sign request. Also discussed was the question of a moratorium on all building permits in that area while the City 's Comprehensive Plan is being developed.
