Motion carried. <br /> APPLICANT: Brian Laudenbach <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit for Additional Signage in DMU <br /> District(continuation) <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. Applicant was not present but was represented <br /> by Sean Kaneski, Kuepers Construction and Dairy Queen. Mr. Kaneski passed out new <br /> drawings of the signs and site plan. <br /> When asked, Mr. Marohn stated the first issue is the sign concept plan,the active <br /> application. The Planning Commission approved the Conditional Use Permit for the <br /> Drive-Thru last month. Mr. Kaneski stated he needs the Planning Commission to act on <br /> the signs. <br /> Mr. Adams stated the Planning Commission Chair had sent an email and read it into the <br /> record. That email will become part of these Minutes. The Staff Report includes a lot of <br /> information on signs as well as information from MN/DOT. The Sign Ordinance was <br /> discussed and Mr. Marohn explained the Sign Concept Plan and what they are asking for <br /> as a freestanding sign. <br /> Mr. Kaneski stated there is now a fifth sign being requested, a Preview Sign. <br /> MN/DOT has stated that one of the freestanding signs encroaches in their right-of-way <br /> and needs to be removed. Both existing freestanding signs are nonconforming—they <br /> both exceed height and one exceeds size also. The digital reader is also an aspect. This <br /> process has a lot of discretion on the part of the Planning Commission. <br /> Mr. Kaneski stated the landscaping rock is being removed from the bottom of the sign. <br /> The posts are not being removed; they do not encroach in the right-of-way. The one post <br /> is 9.5 inches from the right-of-way and is within the 1-foot setback from the lot line. The <br /> size of the sign above is being made smaller as it hangs over the right-of-way. He stated <br /> they plan reducing the size of the sign by 42.3%; the height will remain the same. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated the sign in nonconforming; it is too tall,too big and encroaches in the <br /> setback. The issue the Planning Commission needs to address is once you start redoing <br /> it, it becomes a new sign. Mr. Kaneski stated they are lessening the size. <br /> Minutes 5 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March 18, 2010 <br />
