c. Tax Key 798.051 Dave and Val Spooner, Applicants. Applicants seek signage approval for Sandwich board and name change to House of Treasures located at 711 Main Street. Administrator Carlson stated there are two issues with respect to item c.: change in name of business/sign change; and a request for a sandwich board sign. At a previous Plan Commission meeting there was much discussion regarding sandwich board signs and Adm. Carlson was directed to go back to the Chamber of Commerce and have dialog about sandwich board signs. The Chamber Executive Committee was to send a letter to Adm. Carlson expressing support for sandwich board signs that were designed in a professionally-looking manner. The examples that were given were: Mark David's bakery, the Lang Candle Shop, and the Bottoni Custom Creations. The Executive Committee was also going to suggest administrative approval of those sandwich board sign. As of this date, Adm. Carlson had not received the letter from the Chamber of Commerce, but he did provide a copy of the petition circulated regarding sandwich board signs. Adm. Carlson stated the Chambers position was twofold:

1) Sandwich Board signs should be permitted with examples of acceptable, quality design; and
2) administrative approval-the ability to approve the sandwich board signs administratively.

Petitioners Dave and Val Spooner, present. Discussion regarding sandwich board signs. Petitioners were directed to remove sandwich board sign in conformance with letter sent to businesses directing same; and also to remove outside display of wares which was display was not in the plan of operation. Because the sandwich board approval would require a new ordinance identifying sandwich board requirements, etc., this matter cannot be acted upon tonight. Adm. Carlson stated that if it is the Plan Commission's desire to seek a text amendment in the zoning code, a process needs to be followed:

1) public hearing before the Plan Commission, and
2) a recommendation to the City Council and an ordinance change.

Per Plan Commission directive for next month's meeting, Adm. Carlson is to provide the Commission with ordinances from other municipalities permitting sandwich boards. The Commission will then put together a draft of these examples.
