0 <br /> Pec not <br /> NEW BUSINESS—SPECIFIC SERVICE SIGNS,DISCUSSION <br /> Agenda Item: 7(c) <br /> Background Information: The City Council has directed the Planning <br /> Commission to review the Land Use Ordinance and develop a plan for directional <br /> service signs along Patriot Avenue. The need for this type of sign arose when <br /> Tasty Pizza requested a Specific Service Sign on State Highway 371. MN/DOT <br /> notified Tasty Pizza that they would need to receive permission from the City for <br /> a directional sign from Patriot Avenue toward County Road 168 and permission <br /> for a directional sign from Crow Wing County from County Road 168 toward <br /> Peterson Path. <br /> The Land Use Ordinance does not regulate any signage in the right-of-way. The <br /> directional signs would be placed in right-of-way. However, after several <br /> discussions there could be numerous directional signs requested and the <br /> Planning Commission should make a recommendation based on the Downtown <br /> Plan and Comprehensive Plan. The Council has requested the recommendation <br /> by September 5, 2017. <br /> Staff will provide an explanation of the Specific Service Signs along the <br /> Expressway using the map on the wall at the meeting. Staff will also demonstrate <br /> where directional signs may be needed in addition to the one for Tasty Pizza. <br /> Crow Wing County's Policy for Specific Service Signs is attached, as well as the <br /> portion of Chapter 6 of the Minnesota Department of Transportation Traffic <br /> Engineering Manual that refers to Specific Service Signs. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7(c)-1 <br /> July 20,2017 <br />
