has been in contact with two facilitators to conduct the sessions and she will inform the City
Council who she selects at a later date. The dates of Friday,March 19th and Saturday,
March 20th were selected for the event and the location will be determined soon.
Sign Ordinance
Community Development Director Rogness summarized an application from Ron Kraus, new
owner of the Dairy Queen, for an amendment to the city's sign ordinance. This proposed
amendment would allow"off-premises business signs"to be allowed within Commercial,
Bushiness Park and Industrial zones. Such signage would be used by any business to add to
another business' existing freestanding sign within 1000 feet. Many controls have been
recommended by the planning commission,ranging from overall design compatibility to size
limitations. Concerns were raised by Councilmembers related to enforcement, sign proliferation,
and the need for such a change. After further discussion, the Council asked that staff prepare a
motion for denial at the upcoming City Council meeting.
i.ic�uor Ordinance
Assistant to Administrator Walsh reviewed proposed amendments to the liquor ordinance that
would provide for two classes of on-sale liquor licenses. After discussion by the City Council,
staff was directed to put together an ordinance that would include the following provisions: (1)
Class B license would require food and non-alcoholic beverages to be 51% of the total revenues
for restaurants and hotels; (2)bowling alleys would have to meet a 25% food sale requirement
for a Class B license; (3) Class A license would be prohibited along CR 42 or within a certain
distance of CR42; (4) Class B license holders would have to provide documentation that they
meet the food revenue requirements; and (5) Class A licenses would not have to meet food
revenue requirements. City staff was also directed to begin reviewing liquor license fees since the
Council agreed that fees may have to be increased, and a Class A license fee should be higher
than a Class B license fee.
C�OIY1Drehencive Plan
Community Director Rogness summarized the main issues that remain for the draft 2020
comprehensive plan prior to its submission to the Metropolitan Council for formal review. The
planning commission has completed the public hearing process, and is recommending a draft for

Another issue relates to the net density target for property within the Transition Residential (TR)
land use category(the majority being the Kelley Trust property). The Councilmembers asked
staff to prepare a change to the text for further consideration that would establish average net
density of 2.0 dwelling units per acre for TR land uses. Because of time constraints, other issues
will be discussed at the upcoming City Council meeting. •
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
