�...- Mr. Marohn stated that if the Planning Commission recommends approval tonight, the <br />Amendment would go to the Council March 6, be published on March 13 and the permit <br />could be issued after that. <br />� <br />`.• <br />Council Member Akerson stated that Ordinance Amendments cost the City, the t� <br />payers, $300 -$500. There would be value in going over the whole ordinance. <br />Vice-Chair Adams directed Staff to bring the Ordinance review next month. He further <br />stated that the City will need to go to the businesses and get there input also. <br />Rick Linnell, Superintendent of Schools — Mr. Linnell distributed a letter to the Planning <br />Commission expressing the School's desire for a digital off-site sign. He stated he would <br />be in favor of taking a look at the Sign Ordinance. The School District would like to <br />have a digital sign along the roadway advertising activities at the school, as well as other <br />partners in town. Other communities advertise events the school has going on. The <br />School will be asking for some type of digital sign, off property. The School is not ready <br />now, but in the future the district will want to go that route. Vice-Chair Adams stated <br />this will be included in the discussion. <br />Michelle Lelwica, Chamber Advisory Board — As a community it would be nice to have a <br />wireless sign; it is difficult changing letters in the winter. The Planning Commission can <br />determine what the sign looks like, maintaining the look they are trying to attain. <br />Mr. Levenske asked Mr. Linnell if the School architects had drafted a sign as part of the <br />new construction. Mr. Linnell stated they had not. The School would like to partner with <br />the Chamber, limiting the number of signs in town. <br />Public Comment Closed. <br />A motion was made by Scott Snyder, seconded by Cheri Seils, to allow static LED <br />displays. <br />This would amend the Ordinance. If it costs the City $300 -$500 per amendment, maybe <br />the whole Sign Ordinance should be looked at. Mrs. Seils stated that review of the whole <br />Ordinance would most likely take more than a month or two. She would prefer not to <br />delay applicant that long. <br />Council Member Akerson stated the Planning Commission needs to move forward as <br />quickly as they can so Super America can be ready for summer. There are too many little <br />pieces; we need to look at the whole Ordinance. <br />An amendment to the motion was made by Bill Habein, seconded by Tom Adams, that <br />the LED sign would be one sign not to exceed 5 digital numbers. <br />MiNUTES <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />February 16, 2012 <br />3 <br />
