<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ORIGlr~AL <br /> <br /> <br />~u.. /\., , <br />)V, <br />\\ <br />, <br /> <br />City of La Porte <br />Established 1892 <br /> <br />September 12, 1997 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor Norman Malone and City Council <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Malone: <br /> <br />The La Porte Planning and Zoning Commission, during a Special Called Meeting on <br />September 11, 1997, considered a recommendation to City Council regarding the use, <br />placement, number and permitting of temporary advertising signs on weekends, within <br />the City of La Porte. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission has met two times regarding this matter and has, <br />by a majority vote, recommended City Council consider a proposed amendment prepared <br />by the Commission regarding temporary signs. <br /> <br />However, there is still considerable discussion on the practicality of amending an <br />ordinance that we have had very little citizen input. The current ordinance was <br />developed within the overall goals of the Comprehensive Plan creating a livible and <br />beautiful city. Many La Portian's spent many hours developing a sign ordinance that <br />protected the natural beauty of our community and allowed some signs within the <br />community. <br /> <br />Please note that it is my opinion that we have an ordinance that closely parallels the <br />views of the majority in our community and it would be unfortunate to change for the <br />views of a few. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />~tO~ <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson, Planning and Zoning Commission <br /> <br />c: Robert T. Herrera, City Manager <br />John Joems, Assistant City Manager <br />John Annstrong, Assistant City Attorney <br />La Porte Planning and Zoning Commission <br /> <br />r.l\l'llxlll'i.
