These all pertain to permanent businesses at that location. The Board explained that the City had requested others to remove their trailers of if they were used in over-the-road operations, they would be in order to leave at the place of business. The Board, after a discussion, requested Mr. Filger to notify the users of the trailers that they have to be removed within 60 days, or they are to come before the Board.. It was brought out that these trailers could be parked in the industrial district. +~ Mike Murphy, 5113 N.E. 42nd Street, Kansas City, Missouri, was _ again present to see what could be worked out with regard to his opening an arcade at Quick-Trip. Mr. Murphy advised that he would like to have the hours of 3:00 to 10:00 or 10:30 on week days and on week ends, from 3:00 to 12:30. He would also have to check to see if there were two rest-rooms in the building. Mr. Howerton is to contact the City with regard to this matter also. Mr. Murphy felt that he and the City could come to a mutual agreement on the ordinance and his complying with same, and will bring his formal application for business license at the first meeting in January, 1976. oP• ~`"~ Mr. Joseph W. Clough, 19909 W. 87th Lane,~presented application for building permit for a house in Indian Hills. It was brought out that the Planning Commission approved the plans and a plot plan was presented to Don Jack which was approved. The Board approved the plans and application subject to the payment of the fee of $83.80 and Mr. Clough is to present his sewer application. Mr. Harold Biggs presented tYie problems he has encountered with '~\ regard to the enforcement of the Sign Ordinance. He made up application for the sign permits and mailed them to the businesses and only received two responses. He then went to each business and saw the manager and requested that they sign the permit and pay the fee, which had gotten much better results. Mr. Biggs inqu~ed whether certain parts of the ordinance could be amended and the following items were discussed: Page 2, Reg. Meeting - Dec. 16, 1975 Whether or not a sign painted on the inside of the window should be considered as a sign, section 13.306, page 15, paragraph B. This matter was discussed and...,~~~,[Mtr. Witt will ,a~mJend the a=dinance to not apply to inter- ].O r . signs , .rs e~',LR+.,.- ~ak.~S~t N` -~"'- !~/'r....:~Cf'..' ' The matter of having a sign permit number on the lower left side of the sign was discussed, however there is a picture of all the signs which a permit has been issued for and a check could be made from this book. Also if something could be engineered to put on the signs, this would be in order. The matter of zones 1 and 2 being in the area where temporary "For Rent", "For Sale", etc. were permitted was discussed. It was brought out that zone 2 included the ~artments and it was agreed to by the Board to take these out of this portion of the sign Ordinance, page 16, C-4, ~k~~~tter of the initial permit being for three years, expiring 1978, this is from the date of the application (year), it was requested that the year be removed from the application and should read "expire December 31, 1978." With regard to roof signs, it was suggested to change the , ~J' Ordinance that they still be not in excess of 10% of the building /~') and also that they not be allowed to extend beyond the edge of the building. The matter of how long the businesses should be given to correct the existing signs where they do not conform with the ordinance was discussed. One thought was to have the none conforming sign owners to come before the Board and also if the sign is non conforming on December 25, 1978, the sign will be torn down. A discussion was had with regard to no signs permitted on other property than the place where the service is performed. It was decided t change enforcement officer to the Board of Aldermen and can d signate whd'~ver want~'~Th~e'` Planning @ommiss ion will not issue the permits .

The different matters which were brought up at the Public Safety Meeting last week were discussed.
