Review whether or not considering advertising signs (billboards) as a principal use of property, in addition to the 1200 foot setback from other advertising signs, is overkill on our intent to restrict billboards. (Refer to Section 9.12.08, Subd. 3, items b and f.) Discussion: Is the intent to set reasonable distance limits between billboards or is the intent to restrict billboards as much as possible? At one time, the City CouncWs intent was to restrict billboards as much as possible. If that is still the case, then distance and principal use criteria are not overkill. Below is a listing of issues yet to be accomplished or resolved as a result of the January 7 meeting and subsequent research: Nofity owners of billboards on Hwy. #10 that the City is considering amending its sign ordinance. Check to see if the sign at JAC Auto on Hwy. #10 would be considered a flashing sign. Based on recent communications with other communities, I think we should address flags in our ordinance also. We must look tit limiting the number of temporary signs that are allowed on a property at any given time. Following the public hearing, citizens were given 30 days to submit written comments. At tile date of this writing, I have not received any written comments from the public. In order to gain some additional conu'ol, I amended the provisions for garage sale signs to include craft sale signs. Refer to 9.12.05, Subd. 3. Recommen ¢lation: Commission Action: Will be based on your discussion and review of the above information.
