per year to 11 per year, and to reduce the per meeting payment to $75 per meeting. All members voted "aye ". Motion carried. Applicant: City of Pequot Lakes Applicant requests an Ordinance Amendment Regarding Expansion/Replacement of Non - conforming Structures Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. The original portion of this section is easy to understand and this amendment is complex and not abundantly clear. Staff would need to explain it.

A motion was made by Bill Hab6ih seconded by John Derksen, to approve the Conditional Use Permit for additional "91&-" "e, based on the following Findings of Fact: 1. The request for a conditional use permit is for additional signage than what is typically allowed by the code in the Commercial Zone. 2. The proposed sign meets the one foot setback requirement. 3. The proposed sign measures 3.99' x 9.82' (39.18 sq. ft.) will read, "Mid - Minnesota Federal Credit Union ". 4. The code allows 45.8 sq. ft. (ten percent of building fagade) of wall signage for a structure in the Commercial Zone. 5. The existing structure has already been permitted for 39.18 sq. ft., the conditional use permit request is for 39.18 sq. ft. in additional signage. 6. The proposed sign would be located at the north entrance to the property. It would be visible to southbound traffic on Highway 371 and to patrons of the business on the adjacent property to the north. 7. The proposed sign will not be lighted. There is lighting under the eaves of the structure which may allow the sign to be visible at night. MINUTES Pequot Lakes Planning Commission December 15, 2011 4
