Proposed Revisions to Sian Ordinance (Chanter 171; At the last Commission Meeting, staff
was requested to propose possible language for the City Code that would regulate subdivision
signs located on public right-of--way. The current year's strategic plan calls for the review and
updating of several chapters in the City Code. Stafl'has already been working on possible
amendments needed to Chapter 17 "Signs and Advertising Structures" and plan to have those
ready for presentation to the Commission at the second meeting in June. Possible wording to
regulate subdivision signs on public right-of--way will be included in that drail.
Sneed Limit Petition for Sherry Drive; A petition was presented from residents of the Sherry
Drive area requesting that the City lower the speed limit to 20 mph. David Thompson has
recommended that the Commission delay any decision on this request until alter construction in
the area is completed, normal traffic resumes and police olrcers have a chance to check the
speed that motorists will be driving. With this information in hand, the Commission could
consider whether a problem exists and, if so, the best ways to deal with it. A report from the
Police Department should be available in late July.
Beach Parkins; City staff was asked to look into alternatives to maintain beach parking in our
City. It was noted that some residents close to the beach had eliminated parking spaces by
installing landscaping or other physical barriers to keep others from parking next to their homes.
City staff has discussed a number of related options and concerns. We plan to have a report of
options available to the City Commission with a target date for completion by second
Commission meeting in June.
