Economic Development Manager Sullivan commented from a marketing perspective he agreed <br /> with Councilmember Woestehof .. He felt that the fewer signs there were, the more effective the <br /> signs were going to be. He stated if it limits the number of signs to two, he thought it was a good <br /> thing. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if there was consensus on this. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen commented that the current set back <br /> regulations in the ordinance called out a 35-foot setback from the front property line. He thought <br /> that would eliminate a lot of smaller parcels, such as the one the City is considering. He felt that <br /> was odd from other monument signs and advertisement signs that are closer to the front property <br /> lines. He asked if Council would support language along the lines of"can allow the sign face to <br /> overhang the property line"to allow it to be closer to the roadway. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen was <br /> suggesting that. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied he is suggesting that but he <br /> asked if Council was supportive of that. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley replied it sounded reasonable. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if that would be a policy change or in the lease. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied it would be in the ordinance. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if it would make the lease fit in the ordinance. <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied the current ordinance would <br /> render the lease not possible. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich commented it would be considered a zero setback for the sign face. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked about other signage or requests that have come forward in other <br /> districts, what is the setback for signs of similar size. He thought in B1 it was ten to 15 foot back <br /> depending on the size <br /> Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied there is blanket regulation <br /> that nothing permanent is allowed in the drainage or utility easements which vary from 5 to 15 feet <br /> generally. He noted other monument signs that are as close to the roadway as possible so drivers <br /> aren't looking off to the side. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked what Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen's <br /> suggestion is. <br /> City Council Work Session/April 26, 2022 <br /> Page 10 of 20 <br />
