�he Comrnittee studied the new prop�sal whicl� requests that the t�est 200

development �in that area.
The �ommittee therefore recommends denial of this request. �otion by $or-

ping Center
Request is f or waiver of setback for the billboard. The committee ehecked the
billboard ordinance and f ounci this request ��ou1d involve several waivers - dis-
tanc� from highway, total area and h�ight. The corrm�ittee feels we cannot ap-
prove this request on the basis of hardship. Z�Te further feel th�t inasmuch
as previous requests for billborads have been acted upon directly by Council�
that this request be referred to them f or f inal consideration. Motion by
Raugland� seconded by Borchert that the Planning Commission should not rule
on billboards and signs since this is not under their �urisdiction; that the

to improve this ordinance, with the Planning Commission assisting, if Council
desires. Motion carri�d. Motion by Rau�land,, seconded by Borchert to accept
the committee report and refer the mat�er to Council, carried.
