Sign Ordinance Amendment
Discussion was held on the application submitted by Ron Kraus to amend the Zoning Ordinance
to allow Dairy Queen to advertise its business on an off-premises business sign at the old Tom
Thumb site, 15040 Canada Avenue. Mr. Kraus requested that the City Council approve his
application or delay action if more time was needed to review and discuss his request. Members

proliferation of signs in future years.

business signs in the Commercial,Business Park and General Industrial Districts due to the lack

and from Contractor Property Developers Company with regards to the Kelley Trust Property.
Members of the Council had several points of clarification and questions about the comp guide
plan draft before them. It was the consensus of the Council that some minor changes of the draft
should be made based on their discussion. Two changes were made to the land use plan map,
including more Industrial Mixed Use near the Highway 42/52 intersection and more
Public/Institutional west of Biscayne Avenue north of the Union Pacific main rail line.
Following further discussion, Council agreed that the final draft should be forwarded to the
Metropolitan Council although the issues addressed by the Metropolitan Council would not be
included in the final draft since their responses were just received late on Friday, February 12.

Liquor Ordinance Amendments
Assistant to Administrator Walsh reviewed a proposed ordinance that would amend certain
sections of the liquor ordinance. Walsh advised the ordinance amendments would allow for two
classes of on sale intoxicating licenses. The new classification would regulate restaurants and
hotels that would have to certify to the City that their total revenues derived from the sale of food
and non-alcoholic beverages is at least 51 percent. Bowling centers included in this
classification would have to meet a 25 percent requirement. Walsh noted that current on sale
liquor license holders have been furnished a copy of the draft ordinance and that the final draft
would be brought back to the March 2, 1999 meeting for Council action. Following discussion,
Council agreed to the provisions of the ordinance. It was also the consensus of the Council that
before renewal applications are sent to license holders in October for the year 2000, the Council
should review license fees and discuss adopting separate fees for each classification.
