Dear Council President Bostrom:
On behalf of the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, I am writing to request that
Commission be given some additional time to consider the proposed Snelling Hatnline Special Sign
District Plan now scheduled to be on the December 8, 1999 Ciry Council agenda.
On October 6, 1999, the City Council forwarded the proposed district to the Planning Commission for
its ieview and comment. In its resolution of transmittal (99-44Q), the Council requested that the
Commission submit its comments by December 8, 1999.
In order to allow sufficient time for public notice, the Zoning Committee scheduled its public hearing
on November 23, 1999. A public hearing was held, but only three committee members were able to
attend the meeting because of conflicts with holiday plans. The committee, therefore, requests that the
Ciry Council delay consideration of the proposed sign district until such time as they can have a full
discussion of the issues with more committee members present. We have laid ffie matter over until
January 20, 2000. We hope that the latei date will also allow the Planning Cominission's Ad Hoc
Committee on Advertising Signs, having suspended their deliberations while the referendum was
before the voters, to meet at least one additional time and provide the Zoning Committee with
important feedback on the proposed district.
Please feel free to calt me or Nancy Homans of our staff if you have any questions about this request.
Sincerely,
t �(�

Dear Council President Bostrom:
On behalf of the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, I am writing to request that
Commission be given some additional time to consider the proposed Snelling Hatnline Special Sign
District Plan now scheduled to be on the December 8, 1999 Ciry Council agenda.
On October 6, 1999, the City Council forwarded the proposed district to the Planning Commission for
its ieview and comment. In its resolution of transmittal (99-44Q), the Council requested that the
Commission submit its comments by December 8, 1999.
In order to allow sufficient time for public notice, the Zoning Committee scheduled its public hearing
on November 23, 1999. A public hearing was held, but only three committee members were able to
attend the meeting because of conflicts with holiday plans. The committee, therefore, requests that the
Ciry Council delay consideration of the proposed sign district until such time as they can have a full
discussion of the issues with more committee members present. We have laid ffie matter over until
January 20, 2000. We hope that the latei date will also allow the Planning Cominission's Ad Hoc
Committee on Advertising Signs, having suspended their deliberations while the referendum was
before the voters, to meet at least one additional time and provide the Zoning Committee with
important feedback on the proposed district.
Please feel free to calt me or Nancy Homans of our staff if you have any questions about this request.
Sincerely,

Dear Council President Bostrom:
On behalf of the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, I am writing to request that
Commission be given some additional time to consider the proposed Snelling Hatnline Special Sign
District Plan now scheduled to be on the December 8, 1999 Ciry Council agenda.
On October 6, 1999, the City Council forwarded the proposed district to the Planning Commission for
its ieview and comment. In its resolution of transmittal (99-44Q), the Council requested that the
Commission submit its comments by December 8, 1999.
In order to allow sufficient time for public notice, the Zoning Committee scheduled its public hearing
on November 23, 1999. A public hearing was held, but only three committee members were able to
attend the meeting because of conflicts with holiday plans. The committee, therefore, requests that the
Ciry Council delay consideration of the proposed sign district until such time as they can have a full
discussion of the issues with more committee members present. We have laid ffie matter over until
January 20, 2000. We hope that the latei date will also allow the Planning Cominission's Ad Hoc
Committee on Advertising Signs, having suspended their deliberations while the referendum was
before the voters, to meet at least one additional time and provide the Zoning Committee with
important feedback on the proposed district.
Please feel free to calt me or Nancy Homans of our staff if you have any questions about this request.
Sincerely,
