RE: SIGN FOR THE ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
Request to put a sign on the property at 278 West Main. Merrill Rudd
is the owner of the property and has written a letter approving it.
Glen Pond told the Board that it is zoned R2. They want a variance to
put the sign giving directions to the Zion Lutheran Church. Chuck Frost
said we have talked about a sign ordinance before but nothing has been
done about it. They discussed signs. T~'ie city clerk snowed them the
Uniformed Sign Code Book which the city had adopted. Nyle Fuller ask
if you would look at a sign like this different than you would a
commercial business sign? Nyle Fullmer said to him the distinction is
there is a difference between a secular worship sign trying to direct
people to a place of worship and a business sign. Chuck said he
didn't think we had a problem with a sign out in front of a place of
worship. Jim Long said if you look around the country you will find
this type of sign rather typical. Nyle Fullmer said this type of a
sign is public service. Jim Long said if we don't let them put up the
sign, you are making a statement. Chuck said the problem is we don't
have a definitive sign ordinance. The city attorney was ask to check
into a sign ordinance. Jim Long said if we did recommend it, it would
be because of it's community service aspect. Mike Larson said we need
to look at the use and the zone and what is permitted there. Farrell
Young said the south side of the street is zoned commercial the sign
could be put there. Glen said the problem was they probably couldn't
get permission from the property owners on the south side of the road.
Reading from the zoning book page 23 "Advertising signs not to exceed 3
feet square attached flat to house or building." A motion was made by
Mary Ann Mounts to recommend to the city council that they try to put
the sign on the south side of the street which is zoned commercial or
install it on the north side of the street in compliance with the
regulations of the ordinance. Seconded by Mike Larson. All Aye.

request so Chuck Frost recommended that it be tabled.

Zoning Ordinance both the existing ordinance and the Arlo Nelson
