Motion carried. � <br /> I <br /> P&Z ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: I <br /> Bittner pointed out the 16 permits that had been issued and the i9letters that had been �� <br /> sent. <br /> , <br /> She also stated a question had been raised at the July Council Meeting regarding the I <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 at 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 /> �_, � � ; <br /> � �`C � � ',� � � ( � v{ - �' <br /> , ,�~' <br /> Dawn Bittner <br /> Zoning Specialist <br /> MINUTES 9 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August i6, 2oi8 <br />
