Minutes of the Proceedings of the City
Council of the City of Brooklyn Center
In the County of Hennepin and State of
Minnesota
April 22, 1968
The City Council met at City Hall at 6;30 P. M. and were conducted on
a study tour of the City by the staff to observe signery. The group returned
to City Hall at 7 :30 P.M. and the meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro -tem
Howard Heck.
Roll Call; Howard Heck, john Leary, Earl Rydberg and Theodore Willard.
Also present were: D. G. Pos s,, Jerry Dulgar and Dick Cihoski.
The City Manager discussed the proposed sign ordinance graph reviewing th
fact that it illustrated a building mass vs. sign area relationship. He suggested
that it seemed to be of concern to the Council that the small to medium sized
businesses (as measured by square feet of building) would not be granted ade-
quate signery under the graph as it was now drawn.
An open discussion of the proposed graph ensued and the Council
concurred with the graph in relation to the minimum and maximum sign area
li.'nitations .
The perimeter method of measuring and determining square footage of
signs was discussed and the Council agreed that this method was the most
Practicable and should be continued.
The Council directed the staff to develop a revised graph that would
incorporate the present minimums and maximums for sign sizes but allow for
a greater rate of sign area for the smaller business buildings.
Motion by John Leary and seconded by Theodore Willard that the meeting
be adjourned. Voting in favor were: Howard Heck, Earl Rydberg, john Leary
and Theodore Willard. Voting against none. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Council meeting adjourned at 9:00 P. M.
