Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. This ordinance amendment was initiated by the <br /> Planning Commission. Last fall we adopted the new dynamic display ordinance which is <br /> the most restrictive digital display ordinance he has seen. At that time we failed to <br /> strike the digital gas price sign portion of the Code. Gas price signs are now covered <br /> under the digital display ordinance. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Craig Holland, Pequot Lakes Super America—What is the sign ordinance today? <br /> Mr. Burslie stated 32 square feet of signage. <br /> Mr. Holland asked how many digits. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated the size of letters or numbers, not number, is regulated. <br /> When Mr. Holland asked when the ordinance was changed, Mr. Burslie informed him it <br /> was last fall. Mr. Burslie further stated this amendment is to remove the gas price sign <br /> portion. Planning Commission Member Brown stated that digital signs are now allowed <br /> in Pequot Lakes. <br /> Planning Commission Member Habein inquired about the size of the letters and digits. <br /> Mr. Burslie state they must be greater than 8 inches and needs to be static; sign cannot <br /> change. <br /> Mr. Holland asked if the new Super America sign is okay. Mr. Burslie stated that the <br /> new SA sign falls under the Digital Display ordinance. The ordinance is in conflict. <br /> When Mr. Holland asked what the date of the amendment was, Mr. Burslie stated it was <br /> this past fall and the gas price should have been struck at that time. <br /> Mr. Holland asked about colors. Mr. Burslie stated one color for the background and <br /> one color for the numbers or letters is allowed. Mr. Holland stated the new SA sign has <br /> green and white. Zoning Administrator Bittner provided a photo from the SA sign <br /> application. Mr. Burslie stated the white "UNLEADED"and the green "DIESEL" <br /> portions of the sign are not digital;they are static. Planning Commission Member <br /> Hallan stated 32 square feet is allowed for the digital portion;the backlit border is not <br /> part of the dynamic display; it is static. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED. <br /> MINUTES 4 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> July 16, 2015 <br />
