This would include signs which are non- <br />conforming because of size, setback, painted on building, located on roof, etc. If the <br />N <br />Council adopts the ordinance, photos of these non-confor"ming signs will be taken to assure <br />there will be no question in the-future whether a sign is "grandfathered" or whether it is <br />constructed after the adoption of this ordinance, <br />A representative of the Naegle Sian Company, which owns 13 of the 16 sic.,,ns and all 5 signI <br />along Interstate 35W, will be pre's'ent at the meeting, i <br />6 <br />If the Council desires to adopt the ordinance, the following motion is suggested: <br />Motion adoptina ordinance re ing non-conform"ng siqns, <br />%1 qard* I <br />
