John Cook, City Attorney, briefly described the request. He explained that the proposed LDR
Amendment concerning the Main Street Mural Guidelines was approved by the Land Planning Agency
and went to the City Council for final approval. At that time Attorney Cook recognized that the City did
not have anything specific in our Sign Regulations regarding murals in Commercial or Industrial Zoning
Districts. Attorney Cook recommended that the City Council allow him to review proposed mural
regulations for Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts with the Land Planning Agency. Attorney
Cook explained that he would like to address murals, both historical and commercial, more specifically
in our Code. He stated that requiring a permit to paint a mural could be a way to govern them.
Agency Member Burroughs recommended looking at Lake Placid's Mural Regulations.
Jim LaRue, City Planning Consultant, explained that murals that are historical could be eliminated from
the permit requirements; however, commercial advertising murals should follow sign regulations and
obtain a permit.
Agency Member McCoy questioned whether the proposal would be to maintain quality control, and keep
the town looking nice. He also questioned if the new Ordinance would only apply to new murals, or if
it would be retroactive to the existing murals.
Attorney Cook explained that the proposal would allow the City to govern the murals, not allowing them
everywhere. He stated that the proposed Ordinance would only apply to the new murals.
Chairperson Ledferd recommended that the Design Review Board evaluate all proposed murals.
Attorney Cook stated that it could cause an increased load on the Board. He also explained that the
Board only meets on a monthly basis which could cause a delay in the development of the murals.
Agency Member Whidden explained that due to small lot sizes some communities allow landscaping
to be painted on the buildings which may be something to look into.

Katrina Cook, Secretary
Attorney Cook recommended that the Land Planning Agency table the Amendment so that he and Jim
LaRue could obtain more information from surrounding communities. That would allow the Land
Planning Agency to carefully consider the additional information at the November Land Planning
Agency Meeting. Attorney Cook explained that he would request the City Council to remove proposed
Ordinance 917 from the City Council Agenda on November 1, 2005 and request them to table it until
the December 6, 2005 Meeting.
There was no public comment; nor any discussion from the Agency.
Agency Member Whidden motioned to table considering the Amendment until the November Land
Planning Agency Meeting for the City Attorney and City Planning Consultant to obtain more
information regarding Commercial and Industrial Sign Regulations from other Cities; seconded by
Agency Member Hoover.
