City Planner, Wes Morrison explained to the board that the red strikethrough marks on the proposed sign ordinance is what was being deleted from the 1 st draft of the sign ordinance which was reviewed by the board on January 25, 2007. Mr. Morison explained some of the changes which included adding a variance section to the proposed ordinance along with an impoundment section which would help the code enforcement officers with enforcement of the sign ordinance. Mr. Morrison stated that governmental signs were removed from the proposed ordinance so the Parks Dept. could come up with their own governmental sign policy wich would address all of the temporary signs relating to city events and programs. Mr. Morrison went over the proposed temporary sign section and stated that the changes made were per the board's recommendation. He provided the board with pictures of menu board signs and monument signs to give them an idea of the different size requirements. Board member Martin asked how the proposed ordinance would affect existing menu board signs. Wes stated that the existing menu board signs would be considered non- conforming. Board member Truskunas asked if businesses who have non-conforming signs must register. Mr. Morrison stated that registration is not required for non- conforming signs. Chairman Kuether asked how a monument sign is different from a V -shaped sign. Donna Bateman, Development Services Director, explained that V -shaped signs are at 45 degree angles and monument signs are at 90 degree angles. Board member Truskunas expressed concerns regarding the size requirements for pylon signs. He asked for clarification on why there was a size difference for acres versus contiguous lots. Mr. Morrison explained that if you have 6 acres or more you are allowed a pylon sign. If you have 2 contiguous lots that equal 3 acres then you can have a pylon sign. Anything else would only be allowed a monument sign. City attorney Bob Hagar stated that it is less intrusive if you to have 1 large sign versus 6 smaller signs. Board members discussed banners, search lights, and balloons. Board member V ondersmith expressed that he liked the old banner requirements versus the proposed 4 per year. The board would like to see search lights allowed 2 times a year for a maximum of one week. Staff took notes on all changes and explained to the board that their recommendations would be presented to the city council.
