Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 14, 2012 Page 22 A copy of Mayor Roe's e-mail to staff with responses to the proposed regula- tions, dated May 14, 2012, was provided as a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part hereof Councilmember Pust noted the lack of page numbers on the document . fist. duly noted that future iterations would include page AND line numbers. Discussion included elimination and/or relocation of some language in different chapters or areas; some signs now covered under the City's general zoning or- dinance and not specifically enforced under these proposed sign regulations; ex- isting signs continuing as legal, non-conforming until an improvement is ap- plied for; input from sign companies working within the community; exempted signs within rights-of-way and falling under other jurisdictional regulations, but not the City's jurisdiction; definitions for "projecting sign" and "normal wind pressure;" and whether the City Council wanted to have a broader discussion on signs they may want to regulate differently than currently done. Additional discussion included political sign provisions in the City's Sign Regu- lations mirroring that of State Statute as reviewed by the City Attorney; defini- tion and types of temporary signs; applicable fees adopted annually under sepa- rate resolution; and additional provisions providing staff more enforcement ca- pability than currently available on a case by case basis. Councilmember Johnson left the meeting at this time, approximately 8:51 pm Additional discussion included number of events covered under one permit and programmed annually versus needing additional permits if dates have yet to be determined; size of security signs; Staff was requested to include language under General Provisions (Item c.8) under"Prohibited Signs" stating prohibitions "ONLY"in residential districts. At the request of Mayor Roe regarding Section 1010.04 "Maintenance and Re- moval of Signs," Section e.2, City Attorney Gaughan clarified that the general appeal process would apply as with other sections of code. Mayor Roe asked that additional references to the appeal process (e.g. Section 1010.11 Master Sign Plans, Item e.4) be consistent throughout the document and included in the next draft. Mr. Paschke thanked Councilmembers for their feedback and suggestions.
