Taking into cansideration the current Sign Ordinance and the
revisions contemplated by the September 11, 1989 Gity Staff' s 4�-�--
(michael Woaniak's) recommendations, a committee of the Rose-
mount Chamber of Commerce makes the followin� comments , sug-
gestions and requests:
The ordinance be prefaced by a positive statement. We endorse �
the language in the current ordinance and abject to the nega-
tive wardage (i.e. , "restrict" , "regulate" , "prevent" ) and
numeraus provisions. Present language is concise and adopts
the purpose of the business community.
Provisions

in use of "read-out" t3�pe signage and intermittent lighting.
C. 10 -- �Strongly opposed; request be omitted. .
C. 11 -- Strongly opposed; too restrictive; business community
cannot tolerate this provision.
C. 12 -- Request be omitted; an alternative might be a clarifi-
cation; strongly opposed to having flag area debited from any
other signage. .
C. 14 -- Strongly opposed; request be omitted. If reader
boards are acceptable for public notices, etc. , they should
also be acceptable to promote business. � �
C. 15 -- The maximum time limits� are not realistic; much too
restrictive. The provision does not provide for seasonal use
or remote area use.
C. 18 -- Strongiy vpposed; need ability to be creative and
flexible. The time iimit it toa restrictive (suggestion for �
time use: 8 weeks per year) . .
C. 19 -- Strongly opposed; must have ability to be creative and
flexible. .
C. 21 -- Simpiy redundant.
C. 22 -- Request be omitted - see no merit in this provision.
The committee felt a need for additional �
p ��� ���D time to zeview this ordinance in depth
ft and glean information from ather munici-
palities. The business community wishes ,
SEP 1 91989 to cooperate and caordinate with the
