Page 5 of 8 Aye: Councilmember Doffing Nays: Mayor Larson, Councilmembers Bauman and Burg Abstention: Councilmember Phillips Paul Zachman, 503 Silver Lake Road expressed his opposition to the project, primarily for the safety issue. Councilmember Bauman reported the proposed sign is not illegal, and meets the City's Zoning code requirements. Jeanne Bartlett, 581 Silver Lake Rd requested replacing the current sign by placing the new sign in the same location as the current sign. Mr. Holmberg responded that the location was a significant reason for replacing the sign, and would likely not replace the sign if required to use the current location. Tish Woods, a New Brighton resident and an attendee of Salem Covenant Church stated she is in favor of the proposed sign because the current sign really is not visible from the street; also Ms. Woods reported the Public Safety Department has evaluated the situation and determined there is not a safety concern associated with the project. Gail Rohrbacher concluded that the residents were not pleased with the size and location of the sign, and invited council to observe the intersection in order to see the volume of traffic. Councilmember Phillips addressed the neighbors of the church, he stated the signs really don't " flash" as suggested; they actually "change." Also Councilmember Phillips noted the photos displayed were very helpful to see the impact the proposed sign would have. Mayor Larson acknowledged those residents who corresponded with the City.
