9. Ordinance Concerning Dynamic Display Signs
Dan Licht presented an ordinance amending Titles 3 and 11 of the City Code concerning
dynamic display signs. The amendment was requested by the owner of Schneiderman’s
Furniture located at 16751 Kenyon Avenue, who proposes to install a freestanding sign
with electronic changeable graphic display. The property owner requests an ordinance
amendment to allow the rate of change on the sign to be once every 24 hours.
Mr. Licht explained that the ordinance will allow larger and taller dynamic
display/changeable copy signs for single occupancy buildings with a gross floor area of
100,000 square feet or larger on commercially zoned property in the freeway corridor
district. He stated there are five other commercial businesses in the freeway corridor larger
than 100,000 square feet that would be allowed a larger/taller dynamic display sign like
the proposed Schneiderman’s Furniture sign. The new sign provisions would also apply to
Holiday Inn.
Council Member Hellier stated he does not support the ordinance amendment. However,
he felt that if it is adopted, the gross floor area should be reduced to 80,000 square feet to
accommodate Gander Mountain.
Motion was made by Davis, seconded by LaBeau, to adopt findings of fact, Ordinance No.
982 amending Titles 3 and 11 of the Lakeville City Code and Summary Ordinance No. 982
for publication.
