White Bear Rod & Gun Club - Amended Special Use Permit A short recess was taken to allow the member to brief themselves on the report as submitted by City Attorney Johnson.

Mr. Schwab stated that a member of the club could use the facility, butncould not be rented to someone other than a member. j Greger made motion, seconded by Gillen, to table the request of the White Bear Rod & Gun Club for an amended Special Use Permit until action has been taken by the Planning Commission to research commer- cial/recreation activities in the Agricultural district, as directed by the City Council on February 7, 1977.

Shepherd of the Fields Church - Special Use Permit Mr. Lester Winters represented the church, and stated that they would like to construct a sign to identify the church. The sign would be 3' wide, 4�' high, with a total height of 81. The sign would be constructed on the west side of Highway 61, approximately 42' from the center line (between highway and railroad. Schwab stated that the ordinance reads that the sign should be 40' from the right-of-way. Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Peltier, that the Planning Commission recommend approval of a Special Use Permit, with a variance, under Section 266-109 to Shepherd of the Fields Church to erect a sign on the requested location, provided they eliminate the bottom two lines of proposed sign. Sign to include name of church, hours of services, Little Lamb's Preschool, and location. The reason for the variance is that there is no room between the highway right-of-way and the railroad to allow for the required set back as per the ordinance. The variance to allow the sign to be positioned less than 40' from the highway right-of-way. Part of the reason for the variance is that the sign is of a non-commercial venture.
