Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on October 3, 1989, at City Hall. The purpose was to hear all persons present regarding the possibility of amending Ordinance #4, Section 32.03 -7 referencing real estate development signs. Chairman Tourville called the hearing to order at 7:15 p.m. Present: Welk, Drilling, Vermeulen, liaison Neumann. Chairman Tourville summarized the proposed amendment to the ordinance, questioning the wordage of the proposed amendment. He also questioned as to why the 1 1/2 years and /or 90% completion would be cause for removal of the sign, feeling that this would only deter the completion of a project. Commission member Welk and Vermeulen said that they had added this to the amendment so that a real estate construction sign would not be up for years and years waiting for completion of a project. Pat Camp, 7121 Centerville Road, was present in the audience and asked questions of the proposed amendment. Gunnar Pettersen, Building Inspector, was also present in the audience and expressed his concern that a year and a half was too short, and it also would depend on when the 90% completion occurs in relationship to the size of a project. Chairman Tourville expressed that since the size of the signs were reduced, and that they were on private property, that they should not be considered different from any other private business and it would be a benefit to the City to have a project completed. The primary concern seems to be that they do not want the signs to stay there forever. Motion by Welk, second by Drilling to adjourn public hearing, motion carried unanimously. Hearing adjourned at 7:23 p.m. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on October 3, 1989, at City Hall.
