PERSONAL APPEARANCES Shaun Sipma of th Ave NW spoke before the Council on behalf of MakeMinot. He stated, the petition regarding a five person Council was certified on December 2 nd and he requested an amendment be made to the Home Rule Charter. He explained that in 1985 a clause for changing the governing body was added to the Century Code but Minot has not adopted the clause. He continued by saying he would like to see a vote since the City has authority to adopt the clause and has not done so. He indicated, as a precedent, former Mayor Backes introduced a tax amendment in 2011 which was then voted on a proposed ballot initiative along with an amendment of the Home Rule Charter. Mr. Sipma stated MakeMinot would like to use a similar format to vote on their measure. Mayor Barney stated the City will contact the County to determine a date for a vote. He will then schedule a Special City Council Meeting if necessary to propose an amendment to the Home Rule Charter. Upon questioning by Alderman Seymour, Mr. Sipma described his idea for the ballot by using the previous ballot from 2011 as an example.

7 Alderman Shomento questioned whether it is possible to use a 3 option ballot, in order to choose the preference between leaving council as it is; changing to a 5 person Council as MakeMinot suggests or changing to an 8 person Council as former Mayor Orlin Backes suggested. Mayor Barney responded that discussion is underway as to how to best utilize a ballot. Josh Wolsky of 1340 S. Main St. came before the Council as a citizen concerned over the enforcement of current policies, specifically regarding liquor licensing laws. He stated, that on Wednesday, December 2 nd, there was a hearing during the meeting of the Liquor and Gambling Committee, at which, the Committee decided to allow Sidekicks to continue operating despite having several violations brought against them. Mr. Wolsky applauded the decision as pro-business, but stated his concern for the precedent it may have set. He explained that as a result of the lack of enforcement, it gives bar owners the impression there is little reason to comply with liquor laws; that in order for a hotel/motel license to be authorized, the bar simply needs to be located near a motel; and that the Liquor and Gambling Committee has the ability to enact new laws. Mr. Wolsky continued by saying this is the second incident in the past year where regulations on liquor have been discussed. In 2014 regulations were loosened to allow the growing Renaissance Zone to compete downtown. Since then, he stated, SupperClub regulations have become more restrictive causing locations to close. Mr. Wolsky believes the liquor laws are archaic and should undergo a complete rewrite to send a message encouraging a free market for business and investment. Rob Schutt of th Ave SW, came before the Council to discuss an application that has been submitted to move a property to his neighborhood. He brought up concerns about the current property values being affected by introducing an older home to the area. Mayor Barney stated he would meet with him after the meeting as that item has been pushed back for discussion at a later date. MAYOR S REPORT The Mayor stated he and the City Manager had returned from a productive visit to Washington D.C. where they attended meetings with Senator Hoeven and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He stated their meetings regarding energy and water bills could result in funding for studies on local flood protection. They also met with the Office of Management and Budget. When asked by Alderman Hatlelid whether the studies would delay the start of any projects, the Mayor replied, it would not. Mayor Barney welcomed a Boy Scout Troop in attendance for their citizenship badge. He concluded by acknowledging Fire Chief CJ Craven with a letter of recognition of 35 years of excellent service.

13 Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council pass ordinance no on first reading. Motion seconded by Alderman Lehner and VARIANCE TO ZONING ORDINANCE TO PLACE A ROOFTOP SIGN - SOURIS RIVER BREWING RAMSTAD S 2ND ADDITION, N35 LOT 15 ALL LOTS 16& 17 LESS E 6.4, BLOCK 2 APPROVED Alderman Miller moved the City Council bring back an item denied by the Planning Commission regarding a variance to the Minot Zoning Code of Ordinances. Motion seconded by Alderman Hatlelid and carried unanimously. Jake Maxson, representing Souris River Brewing, appeared before the Council to appeal the decision made by the Planning Commission. He stated the zoning ordinance forbids rooftop signs but does not give an adequate reason why. He explained the metalwork sign which he has planned for the building would only enhance the artistic feel in the Renaissance Zone. The location is zoned M2, heavy industrial, and is surrounded by a frac sand plant and a grain elevator. He said the area would not be harmed aesthetically by allowing a rooftop sign. To establish reasonable hardship, Mr. Maxson stated the location only has parking spaces and a pole sign would take up valuable space. Upon questioning by Alderman Schuler about other options for signage if the variance doesn t pass, Mr. Maxson stated he hasn t looked into it yet. Alderman Jantzer asked about the dimensions of the sign and which direction it will face, to which Mr. Maxson explained it would be one sided, facing south/southwest, about six feet tall and contain three letters each of which would be about two feet wide. Alderman Miller stated the City Council should grant this variance due to the hardship issue. He said a variance was awarded to businesses on the Broadway viaduct due to the topography of the area and he explained this is a similar situation. He also cited it is a public safety issue if vehicles need to slow down to find a location without adequate signage. The Assistant City Planner stated the application was denied by the Planning Commission because according to the ordinance, roof signs are not permitted in City Limits. She explained the ordinance was passed in 2013 and that nationally, roof signs are not allowed. In 2014 there were two applications submitted for variances for roof signs that the Planning Commission denied, both of which City Council overruled. She continued, it is a combination of public safety and aesthetic reasons as to why roof signs are not permitted. It is the intention of the Planning Commission to preserve the skyline of the City. She showed examples of the surrounding areas use of overhang signs and signs on the face of the buildings. She also stated, Souris River Brewing was granted an encroachment permit in 2014, but the business did not move forward with a sign. She concluded by saying the rooftop sign would be a detriment to the plans for the City. Downtown is intended to be pedestrian friendly and ideally the sign should be at eye level for foot traffic. Upon questioning by Mayor Barney on the legality of overturning the decision by Planning Commission, the Assistant City Attorney replied that it would be contrary to the City ordinance to do so and that no real hardship was demonstrated to support the variance. Alderman Hatlelid voiced his support for the variance and stated it is an M2 (Heavy Industrial) zone. Alderman Pankow stated, the ordinance was adopted in 2013 with support from the Council which was elected by the people. It was written in order to be enforced according to the plans for the City s future and not to make exceptions based on past wrongdoings. He stated, the committee that reviewed this ordinance was comprised of a cross section of public citizens and sign companies. Alderman Miller moved the City Council grant the variance to Souris River Brewing to install a roof sign.
