could be reduced in the future if we find the billboards are working and want to add II <br /> more. I� <br /> Vice-Chair Wallin stated we may need to address why we are choosing the i,5oo or <br /> 2,00o foot spacing. Is it aesthetic reasons? We should maybe include this information , <br /> for other Planning and Zoning Commissions in the future. We want to have the signs ��i <br /> for our community,but not be overrun by signs. It was suggested something could be �, <br /> included in the Purpose and Intent. �i <br /> Planning Commission Member Norton inquired if there was a different spacing for I, <br /> digital signs. Chair Hallan stated we are not differentiating between digital signs and I <br /> billboards. �, <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson stated billboards block out natural scenery. As a I <br /> community,if we want to keep our natural,up north look,we need to limit signs as �� <br /> much as possible. We need to help our businesses in town,but not businesses in other <br /> communities. � <br /> Size was discussed. Mr. Burslie pointed out the language that construction shall be on a ' <br /> monopole or double post. Council Member Pederson was unable to attend tonight,but <br /> wanted Mr. Burslie to state he is not in favor of the monopole or double post. He feels it <br /> would add to the cost of the sign. With four post signs,landscaping could be added to I <br /> mitigate the appearance. ', <br /> Chair Hallan pointed out they are not posts,they are columns. Planning Commission '�, <br /> Member Leckband stated wood posts deteriorate faster; he is in favor of the language <br /> contained in the amendment. '� <br /> i <br /> Sigh height was discussed. Chair Hallan stated the word"maximum"is used twice; j <br /> remove one. The amendment states the height shall not exceed go feet at road grade; � <br /> that is road grade at sign stationing, not a half mile away. � <br /> Sign lighting was discussed. This refers to exterior lighting, not the messages on a , <br /> digital sign. Clarification should be included to state exterior illumination. ' <br /> � <br /> Sign display was discussed. The amendment states �5 seconds. The consensus of the j <br /> Planning Commission was to change this to 8 seconds. Color with a definition is also ; <br /> included. This does not refer to content of the sign and should state"Color of entire � <br /> structural support system shall be earth tone". <br /> Sign setbacks were discussed. It was the consensus to remove setback from an at grade ' <br /> intersection. <br /> MINUTES 3 �I <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> May i�, 2oi8 �� <br /> � <br />
