Upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, a motion was made by Alderman Brenk, seconded by Alderman Hannon and carried without a dissenting vote, to introduce for its first reading an ordinance extending the moratorium on certain display signs and off premises signs until June 30, 2008.
Don Schattschneider, 521 South Shore Drive, Chairman of the Becker County Veterans Memorial Committee, appeared before the Council to request that a space be designated in the Gateway District along Highway 10 to accommodate the placement of the former Becker County Courthouse Veteran’s Monuments along with seven lighted flags and shrubbery. George Peters, 614 North Shore Drive, representing the Disabled American Veterans, Harland Thompson, 28835 State Highway 34, Dave Coalwell, 16905 Sharon Avenue, Commander of the VFW and Douglas Koenig, representing the White Earth Veteran’s Association spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Peters advised that Becker County has agreed to put the bases in and relocate the monuments. Mayor Buboltz reiterated that funds will be raised by the veteran organizations for the project and the City will agree to designate the land in the Gateway District. A resolution was introduced by Alderman Hannon, who moved its adoption, that the City of Detroit Lakes will commit up to 1.3 acres in the Gateway District for placement of the Becker County Veterans Memorials. The motion for the adoption of the resolution was seconded by Alderman Zeman and carried without a dissenting vote. Mr. Schattscheider agreed, on behalf of the Veterans’ organizations, to work with RDG Planning Consultants in the placement of the memorials.
A motion was made by Alderman Brenk, seconded by Alderman Hannon and carried, without a dissenting vote, to take the motion off the table, which was presented at the March 11, 2008, City Council Meeting, giving first reading of an ordinance amending Section 24 of the Zoning Ordinance relative to business signs, advertising signs and free standing signs. Upon the recommendation of the Community Development Committee, Billboard Committee and Planning Commission, a motion was made by Alderman Brenk, seconded by Alderman Hannon to introduce an ordinance, for its first reading, amending Section 24 of the Zoning Ordinance relative to business signs, advertising signs and free standing signs. A motion was made by Alderman Zeman, seconded by Alderman Brenk, to amend the motion to include advertising signs/billboards in the “B-1” Central Business District. Upon the inquiry of Alderman Tucker, Sharon Josephson, member of the Billboard Committee, advised that the previous ordinance did not include the “B-1” District and they recommended not including “B-1” District in the sign ordinance until the development of the Central Business District. They would then make a recommendation. Cindi Anderson, Sharon Josephson, Glenn Gifford and Tom Klyve, members of the Billboard Committee, and Alderman Tucker spoke in favor of leaving the “B-1” District out of Section 13 of the proposed ordinance. Alderman Zeman expressed his concern that the City would be micromanaging businesses in the “B-1” District. After further discussion, the Mayor called the question and the following vote was recorded: Ayes: Alderman Zeman; Nays: Aldermen Hannon, Aune, Tucker, Brenk and Heltemes. The Mayor declared the motion did not carry and the motion for the first reading of the ordinance was not amended. Darlene Kimball, Yards and More, 1920 East Shore Drive, objected to the setback for signs being changed from 100 feet to 300 feet. Cyndi Anderson, Chairman of the Billboard Committee, advised the Council that the Committee, after reviewing various ordinances around the state, compromised on 300 feet since so many billboards are lighted. The Mayor set a special City Council Meeting for May 16, 2008, at 5:00 P.M. to consider the second reading and adoption of this ordinance. Mayor Buboltz then called for a vote and the following was recorded: Ayes: Aune, Brenk, Hannon, Tucker and Zeman. Nays: None. Mayor Buboltz declared the motion carried.
