MOTION CARRIED. ITEM II - PUBLIC HEARING - SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Public Hearing called to order at 7:35 P.M. Public was in attendance. Mr. Graser presented the information as per memo of June 7, 1990. The City has received numerous complaints from residents over the past years on vehicles parked with "FOR BALE signs in the window. Staff supports this amendment as we feel the continuance of this practice produces a negative community -wide image. The sign would be limited to 9 X 12 and vehicle must be parked on the vehicle owner's driveway or owner's rental unit parking lot. Comments from Commissioners were on concerns that the wording is incorrect, more than care should be included, City Attorney should be consulted, possibly this enforcement should be in the parking regulations, check with other cities with similar problems, in transit exclusion, and possibly a tag system could be implemented. All Commissioners were in agreement with the intent of the amendment. MOTION BY KEDROWSKI, SECOND BY ROSETH, TO TABLE THE SIGN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT UNTIL JUNE 21, 1990 AT 7:35 P.M.

He is contemplating adding additional living space to his home as there is no basement and will need the extra room in the future. Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of June 7, 1990. The neighborhood is a mixture of old and new single family homes and rehabilitated cabins. As the lot is an irregular shape, the hardship is not caused by the applicant. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. A platform deck that is planned will only be 18" or less above ground and is not subject to setbacks. Staff's recommendation is to approve the variance. Consensus from the Commissioners were in favor of the ordinance. MOTION BY ROSETH, SECOND BY LOFTUS, TO APPROVE A 30 FOOT LAKESHORE VARIANCE FOR 14358 RUTGERS STREET, RATIONALE BEING THE EXISTING HOME IS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET TO THE 904 AND THE PROPOSED ADDITION WILL NOT EXCEED THE EXISTING STRUCTURE SETBACK FROM THE 904. THE HARDSHIP IS NOT CAUSED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. THE LOT IS OF IRREGULAR SHAPE WHICH SETS THIS PARCEL APART FROM OTHER LOTS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
