A publi~ hearing was held on the request for a variance to allow an electronic "reader
board" sign ir a C2-Highway Commercial district, as requested by Gasolina Company. The
City Planner noted that this item had been tabled at the last council meeting in order to give
city staff time to research an amendment to the City's current sign ordinance to include
regulation fo" this type of sign. A proposed ordinance was given to the Council for
preliminary r,~view which would require a conditional use permit for a reader board sign.
This would arow the Council to address each sign individually and require specific conditions
for each. Str"I suggested that this ordinance be referred to the Planning Commission for
review and r~commendation. Pat Kritzer, representative of Gasolina, was present and
indicated he had no objection to the proposed ordinance. There was discussion regarding
the time line for institution of the new ordinance. Councilmember Waarvik moved to defeat
Resolution 90-192, request for a variance to allow an electronic "reader board" sign in a C2-

ordinance am~ndment to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. Motion
was seconde(l by Councilmember Kindseth and adopted unanimously.

of an Automatic Lettering Machine for the Engineering Department. The Director noted

Council "llember Kindseth reported for the Finance Committee on proposed
improvement~ to TH 60 from the viaduct to the easterly city limits. In 1987 the City Council
agreed to participate in the cost of the improvements but at that time thought they would
not exceed $30,000. Since that time the City did ask for design changes which included
additional stO"lD. sewer improvements and an urban design street thus raising the City's share
to $160,000. The total project cost will be approximately $1.2 million and will be paid for
by the State of Minnesota. The Committee feels these improvements will greatly improve
the intersecti'Jn and are much needed thus the Committee recommends approval of the
expenditure. Source of funding will be MSA funds and a local share of about $2,000.00.

Behrens indir.ated an access is not proposed but the easements have been granted for an
access. Mer discussion and comments, Councilmember Rice moved for the adoption of

asking him to make improvements to the property or raze the building. City Staff has
written three letters to Mr. Robinson but has not received any response. Councilmember
Waarvik moved for the adoption of Resolution 90-197, declaring property at 964 Willow
Street (formerly Toad's Liquor) as hazardous and substandard within the meaning of
Minnesota St--tutes 463.15, Subd. 3. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Meillier and
adopted unanimously.
