Ms. Nornberg stated most businesses will want to use their logo and there a guidelines for <br /> the size of the letters beside the logo. <br /> Mr. Hallan stated we do not want these signs as small as those in the mall. Businesses <br /> will want people to be able to look at the sign across the street and recognize-the logo. <br /> Ms. Seils also stated that the signs need to be the size presented. <br /> Mr. Hallan stated the signs are proposed to be 8 feet tall. He asked how that request fits <br /> with our ordinance. Mr. Marohn stated that will need to be figured out prior to our next <br /> meeting. Their locations are proposed to be on public right-of-way and on private <br /> property. Mr. Marohn suggested getting a team together consisting of City Staff, a <br /> Planning Commission member, applicants and the Street Department to walk the <br /> locations. We will need to consult with the City Attorney regarding who should own <br /> them, how do we permit them, and who will be responsible for maintenance and repair. <br /> We could have the answers by the March meeting. The businesses would like to have the <br /> signs in the ground in May. <br /> It was the general consensus to move forward with this. It was suggested that they start <br /> with 3 signs now, getting permitted for up to 6. Once we figure out the process, it will be <br /> easy to replicate. <br /> b. Park Sign Discussion— <br /> Chairman Pederson explained he had attended the recent Park Board Meeting. They <br /> would like to hang a sign on the back of the band shelter listing the names and dates for <br /> the upcoming Music in the Park this summer. The ordinance states they can have a sign <br /> that is 10%of the building fagade. The Park Board thinks that is too small. They could <br /> also have a freestanding sign, although that is not what they would like. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated they are trying to get patrons to attend their concerts. They could use <br /> a temporary banner stating"Concert Tonight" or something similar. There is no charge <br /> for a temporary banner and would be rather inexpensive to have made. They could also <br /> have a website promoting the concerts. A sign in itself will not expose the event in the <br /> Park. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: None. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES: <br /> Mr. Hallan asked Staff to make a clarification to page 3,New Business,third sentence. <br /> "He" should be"Mr. Marohn". <br /> A motion was made by Tom Adams, seconded by Cheri Seils, to approve the Minutes as <br /> corrected. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> Minutes 7 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> February 17, 2011 <br />
