Discuss Revisions to Sign Ordinance: At the request of the Planning and Zoning Committee, Donna Carney asked the City Attorney about a kiosk sign. He referenced us to the Denton Sign Ordinance and suggested that we add a subsection to the bill board section of our own sign ordinance.
His suggestion was:
Kiosks Panel Sign
  1. Definition “Kiosks Panel Sign” A sign placed in the public right-of-way, pursuant to a written agreement with the city, that contains individual panels and, is generally used to provide direction to residential single-family or two-family subdivisions, commercial districts or municipal facilities from major thoroughfares.
  2. Kiosks Panel Signs will be allowed subsequent to the effective date of an amendment to this ordinance. Permits shall be issued by the City of Tioga within the City of Tioga and the ETJ.

Everything has to go before the City Council, they have the right to accept or refuse any recommendation made, they decide if we allow the sign or not.

Dale Cavin made a motion that we recommend adding the subsection providing for Kiosks Panel Signs, as written by the attorney, under section 19.23 of the Sign Ordinance. Janet Sloane seconded. Motion carries.
 
Discuss Revision of Lot Sizes: This agenda item tabled.
