<br />, <br />, <br /> <br />3. The Planning Commission, at the February 8, 1995 meeting, unanimously recommended <br />denial of Signcrafters, Inc. request for a variance to the zoning ordinance at 2105 N. <br />Snelling Avenue. The Planning Commission directed staff to prepare language for an <br />amendment to the sign code that would allow electric signs on site (to be reviewed by the <br />Planning Commission on March 8, 1995). <br /> <br />Staff Recommendations: <br /> <br />1. It is difficult for City codes and ordinances to anticipate the impact of new and emerging <br />technologies. The silent radio system proposed for the Arby's Restaurant is intended to be <br />used to disseminate information to customers waiting in the drive through lane. Given the <br />systems location, size, and intensity of lighting, it will not be seen ITom a public street or <br />from surrounding adjacent properties. Given this minimal impact, staff recommends <br />continuance ofa variance request to Section 14.040 ofthe City code allowing messages to <br />change more than once every 24 hours for the silent radio system proposed for the Arby's <br />Restaurant at 2105 N. Snelling Avenue until the March 27, 1995 Council meeting at which <br />time an ordinance amending the City code section on signs will also be available. <br /> <br />Council Action Requested: <br /> <br />1. Motion to continue Signcrafters, Inc. request for a variance to the zoning ordinance at <br />2105 N. Snelling Avenue until the March 27, 1995 meeting at which time the Council will <br />have the option of adopting new language to the sign code or approving/denying the <br />variance request. <br /> <br />Staff Report by: Michael Falk <br />
