Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 18,2012 Page 6 ber McGehee, Mr. Paschke advised that this was indeed a problem experienced in the community. Regarding Councilmember McGehee's questions related to election signs and their timing (page 13), Mr. Paschke advised that the proposed language for this City Ordinance referenced and mirrored the language of State Statute. Mayor Roe noted one additional revision by staff based on previous discussions with the City Council included page 5, "General Conditions," (originally page 6, item 8) addressing "permitted," versus "prohibited" stricken and moved to Item 2,page 5, Item b. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Paschke confirmed that the reference to "light bulb (singular), under items permitted should be changed to plural or, at Mayor Roe's suggestion to "light strings." Mr. Paschke concurred; and further advised that the clean copy, once all revisions are accepted, would be renumbered and reformatted as appropriate. Pust moved, Johnson seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1425 (Attachment A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 10 of the City Code, Specifically Section 1010 Sign Regulations; as amended to change from "light bulb" to "light bulb strings"(page 5, Section 1010.03 General Provisions,Item B.2)." Mayor Roe thanked staff and the Planning Commission for their work on this revised ordinance At the request of Councilmember McGehee for a solution to cut off the allowa- ble time for construction signs in residential areas, Mayor Roe suggested that, unless Councilmember McGehee was prepared at this time to offer an amend- ment to the motion currently on the table, she bring that suggestion forward for discussion at a separate time in the future. Councilmember McGehee suggested an amendment for construction signs in residential areas to be removed once 2/3 of the property was under contract. Mr. Paschke advised that he was unaware, in the land use area and as an indus- try standard, of any developments where signs were restricted or to be removed prior to the development being completed and all lots sold. Mr. Paschke noted that this provided information for residents as well as those traveling in the area attempting to locate the development, developer or contact information. Mr. Paschke advised that he was unaware, from a staff level, or any complaints re- ceived to-date on the Pulte sign. Councilmember McGehee advised that it had been brought to her attention.
