egnla~ ity ouncii eeti 1l~Ionday,ll~Iay 21, 2007 Page 13 Councilmember Ihlan new language on page 11, lines 25 - 28 or the redlined copy of the ordinance, related to banners, etc. in residential areas and intent of proposed restrictions. Councilmember Roe and City Planner Paschke noted language on the clean ordinance copy, page 9, line 38, for clarification. Councilmember Ihlan opined that "all zoning districts," was not ap- propriate, and that residentially zoned properties should be allowed to have lawn signage on a temporary and limited basis for special events or purposes (i.e., Christmas lights, garden decorations or for scaring off animals/birds, balloons for parties, and/or congratulatory banners), as long as that signage was not home business-related advertising. Councilmember Pust concurred with amending the language. Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, amending language on page 9 of the clean copy, line 38 - 44, "Item C.l -Prohibited Signs," as follows: "Any sign not specifically allowed by this Ordinance is strictly pro- hibited in all zoning districts, including "~~^~ '~m~*°a ~ off-site signs, flashing signs, mobile signs, roof signs, rotating signs, painted signs, '~~~N °"'`~, '~~'~~; [andJ billboards." Additional language would read: "The following signs are permitted in residential districts for non- commercial purposes only: banners, balloons, pennants, spinners, windsocks, streamers, ribbons, whirling devices, or light bulb strings. Roll Call Ayes: Roe; Ihlan; Pust and Klausing. Nays: Kough. Councilmember Ihlan questioned and sought clarification on the defi- nition for "Mobile Signs," on the redlined version, page 5, line 26 - 35, Section 25; as well as referencing the clean version, page 5, line 1 - 6, Section 22. Councilmember Ihlan noted her general concern was in determining when a mobile sign became permanent.
