Public Hearin~ - None Council Business City Planner Erny Mattila presented an interim ordinance for temporary signage on Silver Lake Road. Businesses along Silver Lake Road, from Silver Lane to 3rd St. are experiencing a decline in business due to the Silver Lake Road reconstruction project. The decline is associated with the lack of exposure and limited accessibility during the construction period. To address this concern, staff proposes an interim ordinance which allows each commercial site one temporary sign until September 1, 1996. In the case of multiple occupancy buildings, one sign would be shared by businesses wishing identification. The sign would allow for adequate exposure, yet avoiding sign clutter. Gunderman asked if the ordinance will meet the needs of the businesses. Mattila said the businesses support the ordinance and agree that one sign per lot is adequate. Samuelson asked for clarification of the sign locations. Mattila explained that the Silverwood Commercial Center would most likely have one sign identifying several tenants, and Wongs Kitchen and Donuts Plus would have their own signs. Samuelson feels implementing the ordinance is correct because these businesses may have suffered from the construction. Mattila said the businesses are working with the Chamber to develop an advertising campaign for additional exposure. Gunderman asked if the businesses would be charged a permit fee. Mattila confirmed that the fee would be $40 per sign. Gunderman feels the businesses should not suffer further by paying the permit fee and requests it be waived. Williams verified that only one reading of the ordinance is required. City Attorney Charlie LePevere asked that Section 2.2 of the ordinance be amended as follows: "provided however that no permit fee shall be required.
