A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Leckband, seconded <br /> by Planning Commission Member Norton,to approve the June 2�, 2oi8 <br /> Minutes. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> P&Z ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: <br /> Bittner pointed out the i6 permits that had been issued and the i9 letters that had been <br /> sent. <br /> She also stated a question had been raised at the July Council Meeting regarding the <br /> permit for the Community Sign and why it didn't need approval from the Planning <br /> Commission. Offsite Signs are Permitted uses in the Commercial and Light Industrial <br /> zones, and as such, are administratively approved. <br /> Planning Commission Member Leckband stated the sign didn't meet the intent of the <br /> ordinance;they should have gotten a variance for the number of poles. Staff approval of <br /> this sign has set a precedent to administratively approve signs that don't meet the <br /> ordinance. He also wondered how the City can be the applicant and also approve the <br /> application. <br /> Chair Hallan stated he was frustrated with the application for more than two poles. The <br /> application did include screening of the poles and landscaping. If it is screened you <br /> can't see how many poles are used,with no outrigging or bracing. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated he made the administrative decision to approve the application based <br /> on the conversations we had a#the Planning Commission meetings because you can't <br /> see the poles. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding amending the ordinance. The consensus was to wait. <br /> ADJOURNMENT: <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Leckband, seconded <br /> by Planning Commission Member Birch,to adjourn the meeting. All <br /> members voted"aye". Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 8:5�PM. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Dawn Bittner <br /> Zoning Specialist <br /> MINUTES 9 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August i6, 2oi8 <br />
